Sasen Ryu Karate Academy follows the teachings of the original form of Karate from the Island of Okinawa.

Self defence classes for women are held through out the year. They consist of 6 lessons for 1 1/2 hours with a final 7th lesson designed to let the students use their knowledge with out assistance.
