Welcome to Westwood Karate Academy
We are based on the London Road in Leigh-on-Sea, and also run classes at seven other venues in the area. We teach traditional shotokan karate to children and adults of all ages from the age of 4 years. Whether you are looking for a martial art to enhance your life socially, mentally and physically, an activity the whole family can do together, or a sport to excel in, you'll find it all here at Westwood Academy.
