What Do We Teach?

We teach the traditional style of Shotokan Karate. We have classes to suit everyone, from young beginners to existing black belts. Classes are based around practising the basics of karate (kihon); including striking techniques, blocking techniques and a variety of kicking techniques. We also teach Shotokan Kata (which are detailed patterns of movement). Once a student reaches a competent level, we allow them to begin to Kumite (spar) in a controlled and disciplined environment.

At Red Tiger Karate we pride ourselves on making our classes lively and fun to take part in. We play karate-based games and run competitions with the children to encourage them to learn. We strive to not only impact on our student’s lives inside the dojo (training hall), but outside as well. Ours is a family club where lasting friendships are formed. Karate not only improves our students’ physical health; it can also impact on your mental well-being in a positive way.

Where We Train

With over 40 classes across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Cheshire we are sure to have a class to suit you. Classes are held in a variety of venues including Primary Schools and High Schools, Community Centres, Scout Huts, Leisure Centres and Church Halls. Red Tiger Karate classes are run every night of the week and even at weekends so you can train as often as you like! See our Class Finder for the day and time of your nearest classes.

If you have specific goals, then it is our job at Red Tiger Karate to help you achieve them. Our instructors are friendly and approachable so don’t be afraid of discussing your requirements at your next class.

The Family Club

First and foremost, we are a family club. We promote that families enjoy quality time together. We allow children and parents to train in the same classes so that you encourage and motivate each other, enjoying the ups and downs on that road towards Black Belt – together. We offer excellent family discounts, making it more affordable so that every family member can give Karate a try. Family training encourages teamwork, co-operation, and shared values. In our experience, children often concentrate more and subsequently achieve higher grades when they train with a parent.

Our Instructors

Red Tiger Karate boasts an outstanding team of talented Instructors who receive ongoing support and weekly training. Every Class is taught by a Lead Instructor who can call on the advice and expertise of a Senior Instructor or our Chief Instructor at any time.

All our instructors have completed extensive Instructor training, are DBS checked and First Aid qualified – giving you the peace of mind that you are training within a qualified and experienced environment. Our instructors are highly motivated individuals, who realise the importance that their own training and development is essential so that they can continue to inspire our students and deliver the high standard of tuition that is expected.
