About


JKA Bass Rock is an inclusive, family-orientated Karate club with a range of classes to suit all levels and abilities. Our underlying principle is to extend the range of knowledge for every individual who trains with us.

We are a non-profit club with the student’s progress in JKA Karate being our main focus.  Our instructors give their time simply because they wish to share the essence and benefits of karate-do.
