Somerset Karate

Karate /k&-'rä-tE/ n. a Japanese form of unarmed combat using the hands and feet as weapons. It involves training of the mind as well as the body and seeks to concentrate the body's power at the point of impact. Modern karate is a product of the 20th century, but its roots are ancient. [Japanese from kara empty + te hand]

Somerset Karate teaches a style of karate called Tsuen-Mo-Luen (pronounced Tsin-Moo-Lin) which incorporates elements from a number of martial arts. It was founded in Hong Kong by Grandmaster Lam Wun Sun, and introduced to the UK by Ian Stoddern (see History).

We hold classes at Buckler’s Mead and Parcroft Schools in Yeovil, and in Crewkerne and Midsomer Norton
