EIGHTEEN CONSECUTIVE (2007-2024) VARSITY VICTORIES
Upcoming sessions
With Easter Term underway, we’re back to regular training sessions.
This term, training will run:
- Wednesdays, 7:00–9:00pm at Newnham College, Jane Harrison Room
- Sundays, 3:30–5:30pm at the University Sports Centre
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re completely new to karate or returning after a break.
How to find us:
Newnham College (Wednesday) is located on Sidgwick Avenue, CB3 9DF. Enter via the Porters’ Lodge, then follow signs or the Newnham College map to the Jane Harrison Room. There is limited street parking nearby and no dedicated changing rooms.
University Sports Centre (Sunday) is located on Philippa Fawcett Drive, Cambridge CB3 0AS. We will be in one of the first-floor studios. Changing rooms are available on the ground floor.
All students are also encouraged to train at Sensei Ken’s central Cambridge dojo throughout the year. Sessions are £5 for students.
The JSKE licence, which is required after your first three sessions, is valid across both the university club and all JSKE-affiliated clubs.
Given the university schedule, Sensei Ken’s Friday session from 18:15–19:45 at Kelsey Kerridge is a good additional option.
