Ever thought of trying Karate, but been a bit unsure?
Ever thought that it might be good for your kids, but not too sure what they would be learning?Well come a see a FREE Karate demo and find out! This will not be full of flashy techniques and breaking lots and lots of innocent building materials; this will be a demonstration and explanation of how and what we teach.You will see:
* Effective, pragmatic self defence techniques
* Street psychology to avoid or de-escalate confrontation
* How small weak people can overcome larger stronger people
* Dealing with fear
* Why it is good for health and fitness
* Why it is good for self improvement (beyond just fighting skills)
* That it is a friendly club where all are welcomeKarate should really be for anybody (over 5 years of age) up to any age, regardless race, gender, social/religious/class background or fitness level.When Karate is taught properly you learn the basics and principles first, then you adapt the Karate to suit yourself. You do not try to adapt yourself to do Karate. For example, if your joints are stiff you kick below the belt (where it is usually most effective) rather than trying to force yourself to kick head height. It is madness to learn to defend from other people damaging your body, then damage yourself trying to perform techniques that your body is not able to do properly!So come along, bring your kids (if applicable), bring your friends, and find out why Holistic Karate is a little bit different!PS: Existing martial artists who may want to come along just out of curiosity are more than welcome as well!
