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.
