The town of Bournemouth is situated on the south cost of England in the county of Dorset. Bournemouth benefits from one of the best coastlines in the country with over 7 miles of the cleanest sandy beaches. The town is very vibrant and the nightlife is increasingly becoming one of the best in the UK. Forget the myths of purple rinses, that reputation has moved across to Eastbourne further along the South.

Bournemouth now boasts a fantastic range of bars and restaurants, ranging from the freshest of seafood to Japanese sushi, as well as Chinese, Asian and European cuisines.

Another prominent feature of Bournemouth are the numerous English language schools. Bournemouth has a very varied mix of people coming to study English ranging from mainland Europe to Japan and Korea. We have passed our details onto the main language schools and would welcome any short stay students who would like to continue training in karate regardless of their style.
