We are a full contact Karate Club non sport and real self defence
We are a friendly club and welcome all new students. Our aim is to teach all aspects of Karate in a modern way,
We can offer all types of training from traditional Karate to modern Karate, we also teach practical self defence, and for those that want something a little more aggressive there is Kick Boxing as well.
Southern Karate Jutsu is independent, we only teach what works in street scenario, we have no interest in Japanese instruction as they only teach traditional basics which serve no place in today’s society. We are free from any style as there is no style, basics , stances or pre-arranged blocks in street defence.
Every person is different in shape, strength, and build male or female, we try to taylor the martial art around the person enabling them to think for themselves, and be able to act and react in a way that is natural. We work from modern teachings and cross train with all clubs that are free thinking
As a Free thinking club we have no boundaries and we are constantly looking for new self defence ideas from any style, ask yourself a quick question, if you are already training does your club teach you how to deal with someone shouting at you and generally being aggressive, as they would, if it was in a street scenario (pressure testing) or do you only practise air punches and blocks that you know would not work on the street, and would have to be changed to work, (so why practise them). Do you learn head butts, eye and throat strikes, pulling of the hair or ears all of these are not pretty, but this is the art of self defence. Our gradings are about being able to react and act by thinking for yourself, you will not be doing silly blocks that don't work.
If you are looking for practical Karate(MMA) please join us, if you are looking for traditional non functional sport karate please join a local Wado or Shotokan group there are a couple locally.
Kids Karate is based on a traditional system and based on Wado because of non aggression and this style is a sport based karate and keeps the kids interested.
We are a full contact Karate Club non sport and real self defences .
If you are an instructor and would like to offer your services to the club so we can learn from you please contact us.

The Colosseum Karate Club in Haslemere has the best instructors in the area, if your looking for practical Karate or Kick Boxing including MMA come train with us, we produce real champions that can fight full contact real fighting not the silly kumite point scoring that you normally see within Wado or Shotakan Karate, If Ground fighting is what your looking for Matt Powell the chief instructor also trains in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with Ricardo Da Silva head instructor of Nova Forca Producing Champions in Ultimate Challenge, FX3 and Extreme Brawl. We have no boundaries and we will not lie to you teaching you Kata and silly pair work that has no place in real self defence, We certainly will not make you pay for Japanese instruction that will make you do air punches for an hour or meditation, its time Karate became real again and not an unrealistic sport,

Yanagawa Sensei Course
The Colosseum is proud to have Ricardo Da Silva
Brazilian Jiu jitsu Teach every Sunday 11-1pm
Matt Powell was shocked at how quickly these
guys will submit you. If you think your good at ground
fighting come and train with these guys you will very
quickly realise your not that good as time and time again
they submit you.
Training with Yanagawa was interesting ,
for his size he had great power and
movement that i have not seen before.
Yanagawa was keen to mention that wado
schools had become sport Karate.
I am glad I attended the seminar just
confirmed again that Wado Karate has
no place in real self defence.
Mick was one of the first Wado black belts
in this country, Mick amazed us with his
knowledge of holds and locks and explained
in today's society you need to have knowledge
in all arts rather than just one "be a good all rounder"
The Night was enjoyed by all.
We were supported by Grayshott JuJuitsu club
and Tiger Okinawa Karate, Thank you
All pictures of the night shown in the gallery.
Matt powell takes off his Black Belt and trains
2-3 times a week in Brazilian Jiu jitsu.
Matt cant wait to eventually gain his blue belt, lots
of hard work and sparring.
Again this shows you have to cross train as much
as possible because what you don't know
someone else does and has the advantage.
Training in Japanese Ju Jitsu
Matt Powell when not teaching him self
trains in Japanese jujitsu in Greyshott,
