Basics (Kihon Waza)

Repeating basic karate moves leads to good technique. This will include regular practice of stances, strikes, kicks, punches and blocks, all contributing to a solid foundation for your learning.

Kata Bunkai

Bunkai allows you to study the meaning of the kata (i.e. the attacks and responses) and how certain moves might be interpreted. Study of bunkai is interesting as there can be numerous interpretations for any technique

Self Defence

If you want to feel confident and safe we run self defence classes, focussing on defence awareness tactics. You will learn techniques you can implement straight away in a real life situation.

Kata (Forms)

Forms (kata) are a series of consecutive moves against imaginary opponents and allow you to practice self defence by visualising an attack and your response to it. Performance of kata requires style, balance and great timing.
