The hardest part is walking in…
We know walking into the dojo for the first time can be intimidating, our members have all gone through exactly the same thing!
Our classes are all very friendly and welcoming no matter your age, ability or experience. After walking through the door that first time, it all gets much easier!
JKS Edinburgh hosts a variety of classes for all ages and abilities.
Our timetable is below with a break down of our costs and what each class entails.
Class Times
Mondays and Fridays
5.35 -6.05pm Kumite/Kata Sports
These classes are additional classes which are open to all students* interested in improving their fitness and competing now, or in the future.
The content covered isn’t necessarily grade specific but it is open to all and will help not just for compeition but also for general karate and conditioning.
The content rotates with some weeks being kata and others being kumite.
* Kata Classes may be slightly complex for younger children, please speak to an instructor about these classes prior to attending.
6.10 – 7.00pm – All Grades
These classes are for all grades and cover off the 3 fundamental aspects of Karate training – basics, kata and kumite.
If you’re a beginner then these classes are for you, open to all ages and abilities we’ll work to get you introduced to karate and, most importantly, enjoying it. And when we say “all ages” we’re one of the minority of clubs who mean it – we have students aged 6 to 60(ish) in our classes which really gives us a diverse dynamic and improves your training.
7.05 – 7.55pm – Advanced Class (open to all but covering high grade syllabus)
These classes are tailored towards brown belt level karate and above however are open to all grades. The atmosphere is still as open and accommodating as the all grades class for lower grades wanting to try to up thier training. Contact Us for more info.
For those looking to attain black belt or compete at higher grade level competition these classes are a must and will push you to achieve your best.

Our Tigers program has succesfully allowed children to enter our main stream classes as they progress and has a tested track record at retaining kids as they get older.
Our instructors all meet the minimum standards set out by the Scottish Karate Governing Body (SKGB) and your child’s safety is our top priority.
Tigers classes are £16 per month as a monthly subscription (one class per week). Contact Us to find out more!
