Welcome to the KFMH CIC

At Karate for Mental Health, we are dedicated to promoting the incredible benefits of martial arts for mental well-being and overall health. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), our mission is to provide inclusive and accessible karate workshops and physical activity projects across the UK, with a focus on helping individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or those facing mental and physical health challenges.


Our Vision

We believe that martial arts, especially karate, offer powerful tools for enhancing both mental and physical health. Our workshops and local projects are designed to empower individuals by improving self-confidence, mental resilience, physical fitness, and overall well-being.


Our Services

We provide engaging workshops across the UK, providing participants with a safe and supportive environment to learn martial arts techniques while improving their mental health.


Our areas of involvement include:

  • Local and National Projects: We work with local communities to create sustainable and inclusive projects that ensure access to regular physical activities, particularly for individuals from disadvantaged or vulnerable groups.
  • Mental Health Support: Through the practice of martial arts, we aim to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while fostering a sense of purpose and belonging.
  • Martial Arts Workshops: We run inclusive martial arts workshops covering aspects such as women self-protection, knife mitigation and Karate for Mental Health.
