SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT
Self-esteem and confidence is improved as your work your way through our belt gradings. As well as being a great form of physical and mental exercise, karate also creates a sense of achievement as you work towards your goals and see the rewards of your efforts.
IMPROVE FOCUS
The process of mastering karate takes time, discipline and hard work. This requires you to develop focus and self-control which, in turn, can help to reduce stress levels and improve mental health.
SELF-RESPECT & CONFIDENCE
The self-respect and confidence that you develop through mastery of the various elements of karate can help you accomplish your goals in other areas of your life and work.
TRAINING FEES
For the Kids, Adults and Family Classes, we operate a pay-monthly system with a pay-as-you-go feel. You choose how often you would like to train and select your relevant payment plan. If you are ever unable to make one or more of your paid for classes, you can attend any other suitable class, one week either side of your missed class.
Training fees are paid monthly by direct debit and can be set up with a debit card at the dojo after your initial trial period.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our class is for anyone aged 13 and above.
Not at all! Our members have a range of experience in karate, from beginners through to more advanced learners. Our classes are inclusive for everyone, with a focus on offering guidance and support to enable each person to develop at their own pace.
While karate involves an element of self-defence and our classes do include some sparring drills, we discourage you to view it as ‘fighting’. As with any sport, there is the potential for injury but our instructors are well trained to ensure that everyone learns safely.
No, we welcome people of all fitness levels and ensure each individual develops at a pace that suits their abilities and improves their fitness in a measured and healthy way.
While we do teach fundamentals such as focus and self control, we also have lots of fun. Our aim is to create positive experiences for everyone on our karate programmes.
