Karate and Children

kids karateKarate is a Japanese (or more accurately Okinawan) based system which focuses on regimented sequences of movement that develop in complexity to kata (forms). These sequences have highly evolved self defence applications (bunkai) which are generally taught at advanced levels of training.

 

We too make use of forms and find them of great benefit in developing proprioception (an awareness of the position of one's body), leadership skills and class discipline. We introduce these forms as soon as possible in our training.
