Karate & Self-Defence

Karate:
Our training has been developed through years of study from areas including Sports Science, Education, Bio-mechanics, Nutrition, Psychology & Physiology. Our methodology uses positive reinforcement, teaching the physical aspects to students and developing the mind through discipline.

Together, students build a strong ethical, moral philosophy and spiritual introspection which is essential to the overall development of the student.

All classes are structured to promote respect for others and oneself, discipline, confidence, concentration, fitness, flexibility, co ordination and self defence. The journey is an internal one, overcoming the battles that rage within, in order to find happiness and contentment.

Our syllabus not only includes what can be described as Karate techniques and Karate Kata (Forms/Patterns), but also the principles and practices of locks & holds, throws, grappling, boxing and kick boxing.

We focus on using de-escalation principles and understanding one’s emotions before, during and after a violent situation.
