Kyu Gradings

At Yorkshire Karate, we believe in a structured learning path for our students. Kyu gradings, represented by colored belts, mark significant milestones in their journey. We focus on developing strong fundamentals, discipline, and a genuine love for karate through regular training and rigorous yet supportive gradings.

Dan Gradings

Achieving a Dan grade (black belt and beyond) is a testament to years of dedicated training and unwavering commitment. At Yorkshire Karate, we guide our students towards this prestigious goal. Our experienced instructors provide personalized mentorship and push students to reach their full potential, both physically and mentally.

Competitions

At Yorkshire Karate, we encourage our students to participate in local karate competitions. These events provide an exciting opportunity to test your skills, gain valuable experience, and make new friends.

Our students have consistently achieved excellent results in these competitions, demonstrating the high standard of training at our dojo.
