Karate Lesson
Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is about learning to better understand why you feel what you feel and why you behave in a particular way. Once you begin to understand this concept you then have the opportunity and freedom to change things about yourself enabling you to create a life that you want.

Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weakness well and have a positive view of yourself. You set realistic expectations and goals, communicate assertively, and can handle criticism.

Self-Belief

Self-belief means knowing yourself as a person in your own right, trusting in your own judgement, your intuitions and sense-making, how your point of view is of value, how you step up to challenges, even if you do not yet have the knowledge. Then, how you understand your capacity to learn, experiment, explore, inquire, to have a go, to imagine success.

Hello, I'm Nick but known as Master James in class.

I have been training in Martial Arts for twenty-seven years now and commenced my training in 1994 where I passed my first black belt dan test in 1998, followed by my second, third fourth and fifth dan.

Hi, I'm Adele.

I started my training back in 2012, and in October 2015 I passed my 1st Dan grading.  I then passed my 2nd Dan in December 2017.

Master Jones

Instructor

Hi, I'm Chris.

I've been training since 2009 and in 2012 I passed my 1st Dan grading, followed by my 2nd Dan in 2015, my 3rd Dan in 2017, and finally my 4th Dan December 2021.

My son had been doing karate for over 6 months at a previous club where he was unhappy.  After speaking with Master James and being invited for 2 FREE taster lessons, my son loved it.  He learnt more from his first taster lesson than he'd done in 6 months at his old club. 

Kris Outstanding Club

Great family friendly club. Take your fitness to the next level and learn a martial art at the same time. 👊

Greg Friendly Club

Family Karate Clubs were very welcoming when my son first started.  Nick made him feel at ease as he was very nervous and shy, he was included in all the training activities and got to watch the higher grade students learn to give him an insight into what he can do.

Dave Family Friendly

I’ve always wanted to do self-defence training, but have been too nervous to join a club.  I rang and spoke to Nick at who was very friendly and was invited to have 2 trial sessions to see if I liked it.  Best thing I have ever done and the staff and members are so friendly, it’s like one big family.
