Karate

NOW INCLUDING ADULTS

The Blue Wave Karate programme is written by Windy Miller - 6th DAN with over 40 years experience and a long standing member of the English Karate Federation.

These classes are fun for all age groups, INCLUDING our adult program. It’s great for improving your confidence, fitness and skills. A strong emphasis on self defence means you will also have the opportunity to learn weapons training such as the nunchuku and escrima sticks.

Children follow a syllabus and work towards their grades (belts). They wear a Karate Gi which is available through the club. When your child is ready for their grading you’ll be invited to do this (additional costs apply). You don’t have to participate in gradings but we do find it motivates the children in their learning. Teaches them to study, practice etc. Skills they need in life.

What is Karate?

Karate is a Japanese martial art whose physical aspects seek the development of defensive and counterattacking body movements.  The themes of traditional karate training are fighting and self-defence, though its mental and moral aspects target the overall improvement of the individual. 

This is facilitated by the discipline and persistent effort required in training.

Karate is one of the striking arts - utilising the limbs to attack the opponent. Karate practices ‘kata’ - a physical and mental discipline that contains core principles of action, movement and mental discipline.
