Swansea Universtiy Karate is the oldest martial arts club in the University, with a proud tradition of producing National Champions!
We welcome all levels of experience from complete beginner to experienced karateka.
Sessions are broken down into Sparring (Kumite), patterns (Kata), self-defence, and pad work. Sparring is semi-contact and is completely optional. No-one is ever forced to participate in sparring, but it is a lot of fun and those who try it always enjoy it.
We attend several competitions every year, with the biggest being the University Championships (BUCS) in Hull. This takes place over a weekend and is a fantastic experience, giving everyone the chance to win some shiny medals. We are taught by some of the best coaches in the UK who attend all of our competitions with us and we have access to the Welsh international squad!
For those that don't fancy the intensity of competitions, our training is a great way to keep fit, make freinds and have a laugh whilst learning some self-defence. We hold a grading at the end of every term for those who want to work their way to that famous black belt!
The karate club is known for its awsome socials including the exciting and original events over the course of freshers fortnight!
We welcome anyone of any ability with the opportunity of competing at BUCS and Varsity regardless of your kyu (grade)!

Abertawe Universtiy Karate yw'r clwb crefft ymladd hynaf yn y Brifysgol gyda thraddodiad balch o gynhyrchu Hyrwyddwyr Cenedlaethol!
Rydym yn croesawu pob lefel o brofiad o ddechreuwr llwyr i karateka profiadol.
Rhennir sesiynau yn Sparring (Kumite), patrymau (Kata), hunan-amddiffyn a gwaith pad. Mae Sparring yn lled-gyswllt ac mae'n gwbl ddewisol. Nid oes unrhyw un byth yn cael ei orfodi i gymryd rhan mewn sparring, ond mae'n llawer o hwyl ac mae'r rhai sy'n rhoi cynnig arno bob amser yn ei fwynhau.
Rydym yn mynychu sawl cystadleuaeth bob blwyddyn, a'r mwyaf yw Pencampwriaethau'r Brifysgol (BUCS) yn Sheffield. Mae hyn yn digwydd dros benwythnos ac mae'n brofiad gwych, gan roi cyfle i bawb ennill rhai medalau disglair. Fe'n dysgir gan rai o'r hyfforddwyr gorau yn y DU sy'n mynychu pob un o'n cystadlaethau gyda ni ac mae gennym fynediad i garfan ryngwladol Cymru!
I'r rhai nad ydyn nhw awydd dwyster y cystadlaethau, mae ein hyfforddiant yn ffordd wych o gadw'n heini, gwneud freinds a chwerthin wrth ddysgu rhywfaint o hunan-amddiffyn. Rydyn ni'n cynnal graddiad ar ddiwedd pob tymor i'r rhai sydd eisiau gweithio eu ffordd i'r gwregys du enwog hwnnw!
Mae'r clwb karate yn adnabyddus am ei gymdeithasu awsome gan gynnwys y digwyddiadau cyffrous a gwreiddiol yn ystod pythefnos y glas!
