# South Ockendon Karate Club
BMAKG Essex Karate Club, located in South Ockendon, is a martial arts training facility led by Sensei Steve Perry, a 5th Dan Black Belt with over 25 years of teaching experience. The club specialises in traditional and modern karate instruction alongside kempo jujitsu, kickboxing, XMA, freestyle and weapons training.
The club serves children from age 4 through to adults, offering structured karate lessons with a grading system rooted in traditional karate styles. Their approach combines discipline with enjoyment, making martial arts accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Parents and children can train together in family-focused sessions, creating an inclusive community environment.
What distinguishes this club is its competitive excellence and holistic philosophy. Sensei Steve has coached world and national champions, and the club's elite demonstration team, Budo Elite, has produced 12 members selected for the national squad to represent Great Britain at the European Games. The team received recognition from the Martial Arts Hall of Fame in Doncaster.
Beyond competition, the club emphasises personal development. Children benefit from improved confidence, focus, fitness, respect and self-esteem, with karate shown to enhance schoolwork performance and develop practical self-defence capabilities. The club actively addresses bullying through training. Annual awards ceremonies recognise all students' achievements, and demonstrations occur throughout the year.
With first classes free and weekly lessons at just £7, affordability meets quality instruction in a family-friendly setting.
