One of the most ancient forms of self defence known around the world is widely available at the UK university level.
The UK university karate programme gives students the chance to practice individually or in a team, and compete in two different types of karate competitions.
Many universities in the UK boast experienced coaching staff and offer students access to their state-of-the-art training facilities. Many universities even have on-site Dojo, providing students with extensive programs of development and support services.
Students from over 60 different universities attended the 2021/22 BUCS Karate Championships, a testament to the sport’s growing popularity and the effort made by institutions to provide opportunities for all levels of karateka.

With almost 20,000 miles of coastline, beautiful beaches, and spectacular sunsets, the UK has become a top surfing destination for surfers around the world.
The UK’s surf capital, Cornwall offers sandy beaches and consistent surf year-round making it one of the most captivating surf destinations in the UK. Cornwall is also host to the annual BUCS Championship event where over 350 students from universities surfed on the beaches of Newquay last year.
As the sport continues to grow, surfing clubs at universities even hold Summer and Winter training trips outside of the United Kingdom.
Compete in Kata and Kumite events
When studying at a UK university, students have the opportunity to compete in both Kata and Kumite events at the annual BUCS Karate Championships.
Kata; a non-contact type of Karate, sees athletes demonstrate both offensive and defensive moves against a virtual enemy.
In Kumite, two athletes face each other in a fight using the techniques learned from the Kihon and Kata.
