Hanwell Karate Club – Goju-Ryu Lessons in West London, UK

HKC CLASS SCHEDULE (JULY 2022)

Hanwell Karate Club – Class Schedule (JULY 2022)

About us: Hanwell Karate Club is not a full time dojo – We do not have classes every day of the week. This is because all of our instructors are employed elsewhere. We see this is a good thing – it means that we don’t rely on making money to keep the club running and so our running costs (and class fees) are comparatively cheap. We are dedicated to our karate club and about martial arts in general. But most of all we are passionate about serving our local community in Hanwell, W7 and providing effective self defense training for our students.
