Ipponkarateacademy Reviews 

Not sure how I feel about it yet, I went in expecting some form of vegetable beverage because of all the CARROT - TEA shouting but instead was met by a young teenage man teaching youngsters some form of martial art, although he was mispronouncing Japanese words the students seemed unfazed. I'm gonna stick at it and may change my review if the boss man sorts his act out sharpish.

I’ve been in the clubs for a long time and I’ve really grown as a person because of the club and sensei. I’ve made a real family who I know is there for me

Incredible Karate club, both in its traditional aspects and the sport/competitive side. I have been with the club for roughly 10 years now and have been competing for 2-3. Sensei Jason’s teaching and coaching has allowed me to compete both nationally and internationally. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to start their martial arts journey.

Had my daughter join for what I was told was a free trial period, was pestered for nearly 15 minutes about paying subs by a man who spent the entire time yelling at the younger children for getting moves wrong, will not be going back

My eight year old daughter has always taken little interest in out of school activities. Since starting with Ippon Karate, she has really come out of her shell. Sensai Jason and the other instructors have a great approach to intersecting with the kids and keeping them engaged. I would highly recommend getting your kid involved, especially if you’re looking for a fun, and energetic activity to help boost their self esteem and learn valuable skills in the process.

My daughter joined Ippon Karate Academy at the age of 4 and achieved her shodan-ho (初段号), the junior black belt rank, by the time she was 8. Now a full 1st Dan, she continues to benefit from the exceptional instruction of Sensei Jason Netherton, whose leadership and technical expertise inspire discipline, growth, and excellence across all students. Training four times a week with the senior squad, which proudly includes under-18 England talent, she thrives in an environment dedicated to fostering potential.

Adding to the academy's prestige is its affiliation with Junior Lefevre, a world-renowned karateka whose mastery in kumite and kata brings unparalleled instruction to students. Ippon Karate Academy combines tradition, innovation, and expert coaching to create a dynamic, respectful, and inspiring atmosphere. It’s an outstanding place for karate practitioners of all levels to grow and succeed—a truly must-visit academy!

We have both our kids attending for the last 7 years and they have thoroughly enjoyed their learning

Now it's part of their routine every week and given them a good group of friends

My 3 boys have been coming to the club 2 for over a year and the eldest decided to join them in September. They all absolutely love it and the Sensei’s are amazing!
My lads confidence has come on in leaps and bounds to one of them not wanting to come out his room to actually looking forward to getting out to karate days. My youngest son is doing great.
As for my eldest he’s been going through an extremely difficult time but since joining the club his anxiety has settled down loads and his Sensei’s are extremely helpful and understanding with what he’s going through.
For that as a mum I can’t thank them enough.

Daughter been in the club for over 3 years! Loved it! Sensei and other kids are amazing! Very supportive environment! The bigger one will look after the smaller ones!

And one price you train unlimited in Walkden, Bolton, Swinton, Radcliffe....
