Wado-Ryu Karate

A traditional karate style, Wado Ryu translates into ‘Way of Peace’, It's key principles enable you to perform techniques by body management, and not relying on physical strength alone.

Bonsai Chi

Gentle, low-impact, whole body exercise to refresh the mind and body, encouraging you to calm your mind and body, and develop a balanced chi.

We believe that every person can gain many benefits from karate and physical exercise.  Our Wado Ryu karate and Bonsai Chi classes encourage and enable you to achieve personal development on an individual basis, in a fun, safe environment, where the entire family can learn and develop.  Classes are held in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Upton-upon-Severn. 

Traditional Wado-Ryu karate is more than just kicking and punching, it's learning the underlying principles of the movements, and understanding how the body works.  Bonsai Chi is Nikki's creation of a gentler, low-impact, exercise class based on the karate moves she's learnt over the years, it can be done standing or sitting on a chair, providing overall wellbeing to everyone.

All classes are pay as you go, and there is no membership fee.  We have introductory offers for both karate and Bonsai Chi, once completed you are welcome to pay as you train, alternatively you can purchase class passes.  Offering a convenient, cost-effective way for you to train and progress.
