All classes are mixed, some classes are more advanced but most classes can be enjoyed by all.
Karate is a skillful martial art but at the same time it is intended to be enjoyed by the students and get them fit. Students will learn self-control and how to share, work and have trust in others. Beginners will be introduced to the basics of karate including stances, punching, kicking and blocking. There will be general fitness training, self-defence and some bag and pad work which will lead on to sparring techniques, ring craft and sparring itself. Students also learn different forms or sequences of moves known as Kata and their application to real life situations. In addition students will learn about the etiquette of karate including politeness and respect.
All students are taught that "The ultimate aim of the martial arts lies not in victory or defeat but in the perfection of the character of its participants". Fitness training is incorporated into training to ensure that students enjoy themselves whilst getting fit and strong.
