In 2014 Sakura Karate Association established their first Martial Arts Training Centre, situated in the heart of Willenhall.
The first Dojo "Willenhall Martial Arts Centre" was situated in High Road Willenhall. In 2016 the decision was made to upgrade to a bigger and more professional unit; Our current “Willenhall DOJO” in Ashmore Lake Way is a fully equipped venue that continues to thrive under the tutelage of Sensei's Mark & Becky Knight.
They worked tirelessly to create a high-quality environment, that would reflect the quality of the association and provide the best opportunity for the Sakura members to flourish.
In June 2024, Sensei Emmy opened her second DOJO - Shadow Karate Squad WILLENHALL at this location following Sensei's Becky & Mark's retirement from FULL time teaching.
The Centre's wall to wall Tatami (Mats) are ideal for the requirements of general karate training as well as competition practice. This provides the perfect environment for sweeps, throws and ground work.
The dojo has a full-sized mirror wall and also has a host of other equipment on hand to give each student everything they need to succeed in karate.
The Dojo is large enough to have two distinct training areas that allow lessons to be split into smaller groups when required. It's size also enables Sakura to hold their own events such as Gradings, Courses and Summer camps as well as hosting their annual Inter-club Competition.
SHADOW also has a Members-Only Shop stocking all the items needed for your training from beginner to black belt. Items available to purchase online via the menu above or direct at the Dojo.
Our Spectator area overlooks both training areas and is the ideal place to observe lessons with FREE WIFI & hot/cold drinks and snacks available to purchase.
