Liverpool Karate Academy

General information

Liverpool Karate Academy is a part of CIKA England, which is of course a part of the overall CIKA World Association. Our Association, headed by Junior Lefevre Sensei, provides an extensive network of backing to our club and pathways to the highest levels of sporting competition in the world via CIKA England’s membership to the English Karate Federation (EKF).

To summarize our approach: Traditional karate was taught to the student in a way that they needed to be taught as an individual. There are even reports of the same kata being taught by the same master to different students is slightly different ways. Karate was not meant to be ‘fixed’ and the same thing to all people. While there are certainly universal principles and as a club we are heavily sport based (as this is what the vast majority of our students desire), this principle of karate being a personal journey to each of us is honored and our aim is to allow enough freedom for all karate-ka to follow their own path.
