Hi guys,

I have a younger cousin who would like to take up karate. Whenever im watching clips of MMA on youtube, he is so intrigued and he likes GSP (who doesnt!).

I would like him to get involvved in some form of karate in order to help with his discipline and his intrest in martial arts.

Kyokushin karate seems really good but is there anywhere in sheffield which does it? Any other full contact karate styles will be appreciated; preferably around the S5 area.

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge the nearest Kyokushin club is in Oldham. Sheffield has Goju,Shotokan and Shukokai.

No Kyokushinkai clubs - but plenty of kickboxing etc.

Just trawl through the archives on here to find some.

Why not try Muay Thai at the Wicker - they have a kids class and its closer to what he sees in MMA - the only guy I would class as a 'karate' striker in the UFC would be Lyoto Machida...

There used to be a kyokushin club at Hallam Uni, Broomsgrove Centre. There is a contact number if you google it.
