Welcome To Renshin Karate

This is the Home of the Warrington Karate Academy and Renshin Martial Arts.

The Academy was founded in 1985 by our Chief Instructor Ged Dolan. Since then our Academy in the North west of England has grown substantially to Ten clubs producing many Black belts. All our clubs are members of the British Karate Association & our C.R.B. (police checked) Instructors run classes for children age 5 to 15 years and separate adults classes.

The Renshin Karate syllabus provides a structured environment for learning our martial art. The discipline and etiquette create a respectful atmosphere. There is also great importance placed towards friendliness between our instructors and students. For the children we teach sport Karate with a good mix of fun and etiquette.
In Adult classes we offer a true no nonsense martial art to empower members
with the ability to defend themselves in situations of violence.

All adult classes at the Academy are self-defence orientated with the aim to preserve the old and (now sadly obscure) authentic Okinawan katas. The katas are the versions of Karate before it was introduced to mainland Japan at the start of the 20th century. My aim is to preserve and pass on all these katas to our next generation at the Academy, or any Karateka willing to learn.
