The LKA trains at Horsforth School Gym. Additionally it has a number of satellites Dojo's in local Schools which are run by Ashley Scott-Heald 5th Dan. This was a move designed to give members access to top quality Japanese Instructors. In 2013, four LKA members passed Dan examinations in Tokyo. Matt Price was graded to 6th Dan, Ashley Scott and Juliet Finlay to 4th Dan whilst Melissa Finlay was graded to 3rd Dan.

Wow!
A karate club of epic proportions: Size, scale and passion. Teachers who have the competition weight to take you international heights. A sense of community that few sports could master.
If you want to take up a martial art and you are in Leeds Area - This should be the first stop you make. (People travel around the country for one training session here and if it is right on your doorstep - plain luck)
Highly recommend
