Karate Leadership UK | Lordswood HQ 

 

KL:UK was founded in 2001 by Chief Master Marsh & Sensei Diane Marsh at Buckmore park – when Buckmore park closed down its leisure centre in 2003 Chief Master Marsh and Sensei Diane dedicated themselves to building a full time facility to ensure that their students would always have a place to train.

 

In 2006 the Lordswood Dojo was built and Karate Leadership UK now proudly offers classes to everyone of all ages and abilities, whether you have martial arts experience or are completely new to this exciting and rewarding hobby!
