Training

There are three elements within Karate – Kihon, Kata and Kumite. Kihon is the basic training in which students (Karate-Ka) learn and practice the various striking and blocking techniques as drills. Kata is the application of techniques in set sequences through which the body becomes acquainted with combinational techniques that become natural. Kumite is engaging with a partner or sparring opponent. Each are key to Karate. Karate is not complete without all three.

The club also provides additional training in Self Defence and Bag/Pad work.

To ensure a safe training environment the club employs rules (Etiquette) that must be adhered to by all students.
