Karate will help you develop character, courage, discipline and self-control.

One of the longest running sports clubs in the University, the Karate Club keenly welcomes beginners as well as experienced practitioners. At UCD Karate, our black belt instructors will help you develop physical strength, fitness and flexibility, but also character, courage, discipline and self-control, all in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Practicing traditional Shotokan Karate, the club regularly participates in courses given by Japanese and international instructors.

UCD Karate Club has enjoyed much success at all belt levels at the Intervarsity Championships in recent years, claiming the overall title since 2022. Expect a warm welcome, a strong team spirit and many social events!
