Meet the InstructorsMy son started karate with ESKA just over three yrs ago. He enjoys being a member of ESKA and has never regretted joining the club. There are lots of opportunities to take part in competitions and courses. The instructors always make the lessons not only interesting but fun. Since joining ESKA, my son has become very confident and is not far from his black belt. ESKA is a great club to join, whatever age you are.

Having studied karate when I was younger (but still an adult), I wanted to give my children the chance to start when they were still flexible and able to learn quickly. I never thought that I would take it up again but the brilliant family atmosphere of ESKA dragged my wife and I in too! Now all 4 of us train at least once a week!
Steve
My son started karate 7 years ago after Eska visited his school for a taster session. Since then he has progressed through to black belt and this has been instrumental in growing his self confidence. The support of the instructors has been invaluable in helping him to attain these achievements. Eska is a professional organisation with many members across all ages which brings a strong social, fun element to his training. Thank you!
