Club Aims
The club aims to provide all students with an ability to use the inherent skills developed in the study of Karate to increase the ability of SELF DEFENCE in addition to the PHYSICAL and PSYCHOLOGICAL attributes known to increase by prolonged training.
SELF DEFENCE
The body's natural weapons are systematically trained and concentration and awareness heightened so that the karateka can effectively deal with and attack. The increased self confidence, courage, and positive mental attitude gained through Karate practice will provide you with the ability to face dangerous situations and reduce the probability of attack.
PHYSICAL and PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS
Regular Karate training provides excellent all round exercise developing all aspects of fitness. With regular training you will gain increased flexibility, co-ordination, agility, endurance, speed, and power and develop quicker reflexes.
Once these physical changes take place, they soon lead to mental and emotional improvements that many people seek. The improvements in fitness and skill lead to an improved self-image and confidence. The grading system teaches you to set and work towards goals. Challenging and overcoming obstacles during training develops the strength of mind to successfully deal with other aspects of your life. Great importance is given to respect, courtesy, and self discipline during our classes.
Our objective is to ensure our students receive the greatest possible benefits from training in authentic Japanese Karate. To do this we highly recommend that you attend training at least twice a week.
The club accepts students from the age of 8 years onwards(and there is no upper age limit!). Why not come as a family, you would not be the only one to train at Chilwell. You are welcome to attend two free lessons to see if you want to take up karate. On enrolment to the club, you will receive a free 'Gi'(karate suit),and be welcome to attend all relevant beginners class's. As your competence increases, you will be invited to join the 'Black Belt Club' and go on to receive more advanced tuition. All lessons are structured to take into account all students abilities. Fee's are payable monthly and cover all tuition, licenses and insurance and also contributions to all gradings.

"I am really pleased with the dynamics of the club especially with the vast age difference from youngest to oldest and really like the way that the adults, senior grades and instructors look after the younger children and are always there to help and advise, being easily approachable."
