The Zen-Shin Studios – our full time centre is based on Soho Hill and is a 5 minute drive from Birmingham city centre.

The Zen-Shin Studios features two Dojos. ‘Dojo 1’ can fit up to 30 students in at a time, and is equipped with traditional training equipment, as well as bags, pads, and other exercise apparatus. ‘Dojo 2’ is a smaller dojo, great for private lessons or smaller class sizes. 

We offer karate classes for Little Ninjas (5 to 6 years old), Juniors (7 to 11 years old) and Seniors (12+), as well as Kickboxing classes.


If you would like to try a class at our Soho Hill Dojo, please book in for a free trial.
