United Karate Association (UKA) was founded in 1981 by Sensei Ian Cuthbert as a karate club and under his guidance it has transformed into an all round sporting and academic association, providing coaching and tuition in a variety of disciplines and platforms. Our dedicated team of instructors are fully insured, checked via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and are enthusiastic in improving students of all ages athletically, academically and in their personal lives. The UKA network has expanded into a variety of areas and schools and is very proud of its instructing team and existing students/parents, without whom we would not be where we are today.
