Penshurst Martial Arts

Welcome to Penshurst Martial Arts (Naraasun Dojo) where we offer structured Karate and Kobudo classes for all ages and abilities, no experience necessary, only a willingness to learn in a positive, fun, safe, mentor style environment. Traditional Okinawan karate is not only a martial art, but a way of life. It uses effective natural forms in its execution, ensuring efficient movement for maximum gain, adaptable for all body types and strength profiles. At our core is the battle of mind, body, and spirit (Sanshin) and a hard soft philosophy. Studying traditional Okinawan kobudo alongside karate training teaches weapon techniques using implements originally based on farming and fishing tools, enhancing coordination, timing, power, and understanding of weapons applications that reinforce empty-hand karate skills.
