About Us

Established back in 1992, Sepoy Freestyle Karate have been teaching people for 30 Years! Our Instructors are all recognised Black Belts, DBS Checked, First Aid Trained and highly experienced Martial Artists.

With classes for all ages and abilities, affordable training plans and much more, there has never been a better time to get into Martial Arts.

Sepoy Freestyle Karate is a dynamic form of martial arts, incorporating aspects of traditional Japanese Karate, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and many other martial arts. Being a freestlye form, it can evolve and we constantly search for improvement. 

Students learn punching, kicking, throwing and defence techniques. These techniques compliment each other perfectly and combine to provide a holistic and comprehensive self defence system. Sepoy Freestyle Karate also teaches values of honour, loyalty, justice, courage, truth, benevolence, etiquette and self control.


We incorporate a coloured belt grading system, similar to many other martial arts, allowing students to gauge their progress and set themselves achievable goals, whilst also differentiating between the different ranks at a class level – assisting instructors to ensure your training is best suited to your skills and abilities.

Learning Sepoy Freestyle Karate encourages physical fitness, mental focus, discipline and respect. As you progress through your training you will notice yourself becoming more relaxed and mentally focused at home, work or school. Many students also are surprised by how quickly and markedly their level of physical fitness increases, and continue to do so, throughout their training.

So if learning Sepoy Freestyle Karate sounds like your thing, then please don’t hesitate to contact us and get into training!

History

Sepoy Freestyle Karate was created in 1992 by its Chief Instructor and founder Gary Smith, 8th Dan Black Belt. Gary has studied various martial arts including Aikido, Karate, Kick Boxing and Kung Fu and holds multiple black belts. Gary decided to create a style blending elements from all of these. Sepoy Freestyle Karate was a founding member of NAKMAS when it was formed (National Association of Karate and Martial Arts Schools). This style has flourished with clubs in Leicestershire, Peterborough, Lincolnshire and Bedfordshire.

We have other Sepoy Karate clubs around the country in Leicestershire,  Spalding Lincolnshire, Wilstead Bedfordshire and Toddington Bedfordshire (links below):
