Starting karate for fitness and self defence

Anyone interested in trying something new? Maybe you have done karate in the past and would like to come back. AGE IS not an issue!!

We all want to be fitter and there are lots of activities out there that you can do, but sometimes you need something that can motivate and push you. Karate may be just the thing! The belt grading system provides a great incentive, giving you a structured path for improvement with the goal of achieving your next belt working up to that elusive, coveted black belt.

Karate has many proven benefits:

• Great all-round exercise
• Improves mental and physical health
• Helps maintain concentration
• Develops confidence
• Teaches self-defence
• Improves social skills
• Encourages weight loss
• Builds friendships
• Family-friendly

In addition to our evening classes, we have classes in the morning for those who have flexibility with work, or maybe want something to do after dropping off the children at school.

Contact Dave Craggs on 07711009041 for more information or just book into a class.
