Summary
The Karakura Karate School was started by the former Karate and MMA Champion from America called Charlie Carter. Charlie began the school in 2017 after moving to the small town. Although the school’s main focus is to teach Karate they also teach mixed MMA classes focusing on Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

The school started off in a small area above a gym in the City Centre and was moderately successful however it suffered in the second half of 2019 when Charlie went through some personal issues and his assistant instructors had to carry the burden when the owner went AWOL.

In 2020 Charlie moved the school to a less desirable area towards the unpleasant industrial area and converted a large warehouse into a bigger school with far more facilities when he reopened.

Located near the railway line in the Industrial area of Karakura Town the School is located within a converted Warehouse.

Styles Trained

Okinawan Gōjū-ryū Karate
A traditional Okinawan style of Karate is the main martial art trained at the Karakura Karate School. This includes the style’s techniques, kata and body conditioning but it also includes less traditional aspects such as full contact training for competition. Charlie also teaches Okinawan Kobudō to senior students.

Kickboxing and BJJ
Although trained separately, many students take both. Competitive and Self-Defence Classes are taught separately. This class has turned out a few successful amateur MMA fighters in recent years.

Fitness
The Gym and Fitness classes are only available for people who take the other Martial Arts Classes.

Private Sessions
Charlie teaches private lessons on the Third Floor. In truth this is largely an excuse for him to train Spiritualists how to defend themselves which he has only recently started doing so as to help them avoid the same fate as his late wife.
