Welcome to JKA Karate, where we embrace the rich tradition of karate originating from Okinawa. Our approach is not solely focused on competition; instead, we aim to foster lifestyle changes, character building, and respect within our students. Our seasoned instructor, Sensei Bert Stewart, a 5th Dan JKA with over 40 years of teaching experience, leads our classes. We take pride in our strong connections with JKA Musselburgh and JKA North Berwick, all of which are part of the esteemed Japan Karate Association.

At our JKA Karate classes, we offer a supportive and welcoming environment, perfect for individuals of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to refine your existing skills, our classes are designed to help you control and master yourself while striving for perfection.
