About Us

Ruach Karate Instructors have been training in Shotokan karate in the Midlands for nearly 40 years.
As the experts in Shotokan karate our students benefit from progressive training methods seeking to improve the individual performance to world-class standards. Local, national and international competitions see our students return home with medals time after time.
