An Insight
Welcome to the Thurrock School of Karate and our wonderful family of karate students. We are a traditional, Shotokan karate club. We practice hard and have loads of fun with a lot of laughter. Our standards are quite high, as we do expect a great level of personal commitment in order to achieve fitness, and flexibility! We will push you hard to ensure that you fulfill your potential. There is a saying, “Rome was not built in a day - but parts of it were!” so as you decide to make the Thurrock School of Karate your home, it will be the start of an awesome journey to your own personal ‘Rome!’
Good luck and welcome to the Thurrock School of Karate.
