 Adult Training

The training syllabus for the adults is based on practical self-defense, varying from basic hand-to-hand combat, to more detailed techniques against Knife and Club attacks. The techniques taught directly relate to the every day environment of self-defense with using physical force as a last resort. Training also involves the learning of other aspects of the Martial Arts such as Kata. Kata in short is a pre-determined set of moves, for each rank there are new Kata’s to learn as well as perfecting the ones the student already knows. These Kata’s are our dictionary or Bible of all moves performed in the physical side of self-defense, the continuous practice of these kata’s helps perfect the student’s ability to defend themselves. Meditation is also practiced to expand the student’s concentration level and awareness. Traditional Martial Arts Weapons are part of the training syllabus, with techniques practiced in Katana, Sai, Bo,  and Jo. These traditional weapons help the student to understand the shear skill of the traditional Japanese Warrior. The training system is suited for both men and women with no age limit.

Kids Training

The training syllabus for the kids is also based around practical self-defense, with a significant difference and emphasis on safety. It is a known fact the Martial Arts can expose some dangerous and serious techniques especially if they are taught to people who don’t quite understand the implications of those techniques. For this reason the kids classes are based on basic self defense skills to enable them to defend off an attack. Several key topics are also covered in the kid’s classes such as Anti abduction, schoolyard thugs, and street sense. The training system for the kids creates a fun environment for them to learn and a better environment with in themselves. For more information on Kids Karate go to the kids Karate Page .
