Welcome to Plymouth Karate Academy 

Plymouth’s premier karate specialist has something for everyone,whether you are learning Karate for the first time, improving your existing ability or perfecting your skills in Martial Arts.

Shotokan is the world's most popular style of karate, enjoyed by men, women and children in virtually every country of the world.

The Plymouth Karate Academy was founded in 1999 by Sensei Stuart Hick and has gone from strength to strength, training a wide range of members of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.      

Many people consider starting a martial art, but give up on the idea because they feel they are too young, too old or not fit enough. But nothing could be further from the truth. We cater the art of karate to the individual, gradually building up the training to produce skilled and well rounded martial artists, with a good understanding of effective self-defense techniques.

The Academy currently has classes in Plympton at Yealmpstone Farm Primary School and Stoke/Devonport at Devonport High School for Boys Foulston Gym.
