Welcome to Plymouth Karate Academy

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.

Here at Plymouth Karate Academy, we teach effective Karate and Self-Defence with genuine applications to modern day situations, using the skills passed down to us from our mentors. Most importantly you won’t find us knocking at your door trying to sign you up for lengthy expensive memberships.

We are not like the big profit making martial arts schools. All of our instructors give their time freely in order to ensure the continued high standard of training that we ourselves, as Traditional Karate Students, have become accustomed too. As a result your training fees go towards the day to day running, administration and continued growth of the Academy. This in turn is how we manage to keep our tuition fees to a minimum, whilst still delivering a high standard of technical knowledge and tuition.
