Karl Ayliffe Martial Arts and Yoga

After returning to Karate 12 years ago aged 50, Karl is mindful that management of the body's fitness is an integral part of being able to continue with Karate as one ages. Folding some yoga into Karate sessions helps achieve this.

The outstanding wealth of knowledge, encouragement, compassion and dedication that goes into the classes here have made it one of the most valuable experiences I've ever undertaken.Classes where you're actually paid attention to and not just a number. A true sense of community.This place has such a welcoming environment and quickly make you feel like you're part of a family and community.I feel so grateful that such an experienced and esteemed teacher such as Karl is so accessible in location and charges so reasonably in comparison to most gyms, dojos and studios in the area for the value you receive through his classesAn authentic experience.

I have been training here for nearly 4 months now and have loved every bit, Karl is a very knowledgeable person who can teach alot about many other things not just karate would recomend

I've trained with Karl for almost 10 years and it has been an experience I couldn't recommend more. With each training session, I have become a stronger person, both physically and mentally. His yoga sessions are equally insightful and helped to build up flexibility.Karl is an excellent teacher who communicates well with children and adults alike. If you're interested in doing something like this, definitely give it a try!!

Karl Ayliffe Karate is a top-notch martial arts school run by the legendary Karl Ayliffe.Having trained with Karl as a teenager back in 1998, I can attest to the fact that he is one of the best in the business.Although I moved out of the area and was unable to train with him for a while, I recently reconnected with him through social media and was delighted to learn that he now has a dojo in Camden.Despite the 4-hour return trip it takes me to get there, I make it a point to train with Karl at least once a week because he is simply the best.He has won multiple world titles and is not just my Sensei, but someone I have looked up to since childhood. His teachings are both practical and philosophical, and he emphasises the importance of discipline, focus, and respect both on and off the mat.Karl's approach to teaching is both structured and engaging, and he takes the time to ensure that each student understands the techniques and principles being taught. He creates a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, and his passion for karate is contagious.Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned martial artist, Karl will challenge you to be your best and provide you with the tools to achieve your goals.Overall, I cannot recommend Karl Ayliffe Karate enough. If you're thinking of getting into martial arts and or yoga, I urge you to speak with Karl and become a part of the family. You won't regret it!!
