Yawara Martial Arts is run by Sensei Dave Clarke and we have clubs in West London (Wandsworth), Woking and Lightwater. Sensei Clarke started training Martial Arts (Judo) at the age of 6 in 1969. He started training with Sensei Frank Perry at the Honbu in Sandycombe Road, Kew, Surrey, South West of London. Sensei Clarke is a 4th Dan in Judo, 5th Dan in Karate and 4th Dan in Ju-Jutsu. He is a full time Martial Arts instructor and is therefore able to put 100% into his teaching.
We, at Yawara Martial Arts, hope you find this site of great interest and we look forward to seeing you in the dojo at one of our clubs in and around London. You find a full sitemap here.
