Karate Near Fitzrovia

1. 01Leave Charlotte Street heading south, through the quieter streets of Fitzrovia.
2. 02Cross Oxford Street at Oxford Circus, the busiest few seconds of the walk.
3. 03Straight onto Regent Street. 309 is a couple of minutes further down, on the left.

0.4 miles from Charlotte Street. Flat throughout.

Fitzrovia runs on media, advertising, tech and medicine (UCLH and the Harley Street corridor are a few minutes further north again), and none of that keeps office hours that suit a daytime gym slot. A fixed 6pm start twice a week is easier to hold onto than a class timetable that changes every month.

DKK trains Okinawan Goju Ryu under 7^th Dan instructor Shihan Gavin Mulholland : close-quarter, hard-and-soft, built for real use rather than points. No experience needed, and no need to buy a gi before you've trained a few times.
