Karate
Free for the 2026-27 year.
Let's train, share, and grow together!
Our Karate Club brings together students from a variety of karate styles to train, exchange ideas, and celebrate our differences. We don’t focus on gradings or a single style — instead, we create a friendly, inclusive space where members learn from each other and improve their fitness while having fun.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned black belt, you’re welcome to join us! We also take part in the annual BUCS Karate Championships, giving our members the chance to represent Imperial and experience a fun, team-based competition - no matter your current level!
Training times:Thursdays, 18:00 – 20:00 in the Union Gym
