CORE FITNESS
You don't have to be fit to start karate, but a direct result of effective training is increased fitness and cardiovascular capacity. Fitness is a core ingredient of effective self protection and therefore we are always focused on effort and helping our students improve their personal fitness.
TIMING & DISTANCE
Effective training drills are used at our clubs to help our students appreciate safe, effective and appropriate distance for technique use, avoidance or conflict de-esculation. Whether our students seek to train for self defence or competition purposes we work on skill aquisition and habbit forming, reflex reaction training.
COORDINATION & FLEXIBILITY
Most people will struggle with karate movement and patterns early in their learning. However through diligent training, hand-eye coordination as well as physical movement and expression improve and develop in sophistication. We stretch each class to improve flexibility which brings many benefits to overall health and well-being.
ATTITUDE, DISCIPLINE & CONFIDENCE
We teach in a discliplined yet fun manner, reinforcing hierachy and respect for age and authority. Karate training rewards constant effort and we are proud of our communities supportive approach to each other.
