WHPS Karate School was formed in 2004 by Sensei Nigel B Briggs, 5th Dan to enable karate and the martial arts to be learned by younger students in comfortable surroundings at a weekend, which does not affect other school related activities (especially getting up the next morning!).

We are a non-profit making organisation - all training fees are paid into the WHPS school budget.
So far, we have raised £41,486 for the school!

Our syllabus builds from the basics of developing self-discipline and a positive mental attitude, through to improving concentration and self-confidence. Every student attending our courses will be assessed for his/her strengths and areas of development. We teach much more than just kicking and punching; listed below are just some of the aspects our syllabus builds upon:

Courtesy

Honesty

Integrity

Perseverance

Self Control

Determination

Modesty

Loyalty

Sportsmanship

We believe that teaching these life skills to children at a young age can have a tremendous effect on the outcome of their lives and how successful they become.
