Karate
“The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in perfection of the character of its participants”
About the class…
Shotokan Karate is a dynamic martial art, develops anaerobic techniques as well as speed. Participants start with strength and power and progress through to slower and more fluid movements. This helps build cardiovascular strength and muscular coordination, through balanced left and right sided training.
This class teaches discipline and purposeful movement alongside practical karate skills and self defense in a guided format. Each age group encompasses all skill levels and is guided by the words of the Father of Modern Day Karate, Gichin Funakoshi
Shotokan Karate emphasizes light and minimal contact in beginners, with progressing to more hands-on engagement as they advance. Our Sensei, or teachers, prioritize safety and learning within all classes, advancing students based on both maturity level and physical ability.
Running twice a week, you can register for a month or a whole season at a time.
For new participants, no gear is required. Please wear comfortable active wear that allows room for movement, and be prepared to be in bare feet. Within the first few classes you will be sized for a Gi. This is the traditional uniform of participants. Those choosing to participate long term, will be required to have, or order a Gi.
