# Manchester Karate - Missing Link in Manchester
Manchester Karate operates two dedicated training hubs—one at Central Hall near Piccadilly Gardens and another at the Angel Centre in Salford near Spinningfields—offering karate instruction rooted in Asian philosophy and holistic wellness principles. The business serves both adults and children seeking martial arts training, fitness improvement and practical self-defence skills.
What distinguishes Manchester Karate is its innovative Missing Link cycle concept, which allows students of any graduation level to attend core Omote classes consistently, supplemented by specialised Okuden classes for advanced practitioners. This flexible approach accommodates modern lifestyles through a blend of indoor, online and individual lessons throughout the week.
The instruction team, led by Sensei Tony Bolton alongside Arto Laaksonen and Carl Taylor, brings decades of combined martial arts experience. Notably, the dojo welcomes practitioners of any karate style, embracing the open philosophy of the Missing Link methodology rather than restricting students to a single approach.
The pricing structure removes barriers to entry with a complimentary first class, followed by an affordable £33.50 monthly membership covering all classes, online lessons and discounted private instruction. Additional offerings include seminars, workshops, Qi Gong sessions and the ability to train across any Missing Link dojo globally. A £20 annual licence provides insurance and grading eligibility.
