The Carter Karate Dojo (formally Kazoku Karate Dojo) has been in existence since 1995. The dojo was first located at the Hillside Primary School in Lower Earley, near Reading, Berkshire and on the opening night there were over 35 new students wanting to learn more about traditional Karate-Do.

The dojo then relocated to the St. Nicolas Church Hall, Sutcliffe Avenue, Earley, in February 1998. Since then students numbers have levelled at around 20.

The Dojo is friendly, but traditional & disciplined. Run by husband & wife team Adam & Annette Carter with help from their son Tristan.

Students range from 6 years (some younger with parents) old up to adults and all enjoy training together. We encourage parents to join in with their children, to make your training a truly family affair.
