Maldon Karate - Keiryu Practical Karate
& Self Protection

"I am a huge fan of Keiryu Karate and its Sensei Lee Mullan! Having been around various martial arts for most of my life, I’ve seen many different approaches. What I particularly like about Keiryu is that is offers something for everyone, from the seasoned karateka looking to deepen their knowledge and extend their Dan grades, to the utter novice (child or adult) wanting to try something new and dip their toe in the water. The syllabus provides a lovely bend of practicality and tradition, taking time tested techniques and applying them to present days situations. For someone like me, with a background in other martial arts, it was nice to be able to incorporate the skills and techniques I already had into my karate practice. Lee himself is friendly, approachable, excellent with little ones and utterly obsessed with Karate! He is as keen to share his love of karate with you as he is to find out about you, your passions, and experiences. While he will encourage you to stretch your limits, he will never ask you to do something you are not comfortable with! Whoever you are, whatever your experience (or lack of it) I urge you to give Keiryu Karate a try, I’m confident that you will enjoy it every bit as much as I do!"

"Lee Mullan is an extremely enthusiastic karateka and is not one to rest on his laurels. Lee has an excellent pedigree in traditional karate and understands its application in the modern world. He is one of a small number of people to be qualified as an Introductory Instructor in my approach to kata application / practical karate, and I recommend him and his group to anyone wanting quality karate with a genuine relevance to modern self-protection"

"Lee Mullan is a superb karate instructor whose interest in practical karate and self-defence has led him to a rare depth of knowledge and experience. He teaches with humour and enthusiasm; his love for the art is very clear and his energy is very contagious. His technical ability is phenomenal, and he has the knack of understanding and communicating with students to make tricky concepts accessible and fun. Highly recommended!"

"A wonderful supportive place to learn karate from a brilliant instructor. Lee Mullan is a patient, kind and caring instructor with excellent knowledge. Anyone wishing to try this class will be well looked after and those who have martial arts skills will definitely learn from Lee. A great atmosphere and welcoming place to train, learn and meet new people with a passion for Martial Arts. "

"Keiryu Practical Karate is an excellent place to train! Owner Lee Mullan is an exceptional instructor whose knowledge and passion for Martial Arts is like no other.
