Welcome to Essex Wado Ryu Karate

Essex Wado Ryu Karate (E.W.R.K.) is a group of traditional karate clubs that teach the art of Wado Ryu Karate in the area of Essex.
Chief Instructor is Sensei Alistair Thomson (3rd Dan), a karate practitioner with many years of experience in Wado Ryu and other martial arts.

Values of Karate

You may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does karate manage to do a better job teaching them?
Again, more than any other sport, Karate gives you the chance to explore your innate powers. You will marvel as you increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start. In fact, your physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of your value skills, mental and spiritual. Not cut off from your physical skills, but intimately connected, even bonded, to them.

These include:-
• Self Confidence
• Self Esteem
• Self Control
• Respect (for self and others)
• Fitness

These are just a few of the values that can be achieved within Karate.
