Find Out MoreKarate is a rich discipline that encompasses various aspects, including Basics, Forms, and Sparring. At Family Martial Arts Centres, our professional Karate training will guide you through these key components.
Mastering technique is essential in Karate. We will teach you the foundational strikes, blocks, kicks, stances, and movements that are central to this martial art. Understanding these basics helps you generate power through body movements and builds your confidence.
Forms, or Kata, focus on movement patterns that are crucial for the artistic expression of Karate. Practicing these patterns not only enhances strength, balance, agility, and coordination but also reinforces self-defence principles.
Sparring is the culmination of your Karate training. It involves practicing techniques with a partner in a slow and controlled environment. Initially, you’ll work with predetermined techniques, but as your skills develop, you’ll progress to safe, non-contact free sparring.
At Family Martial Arts Centres, we offer tailored sessions suitable for all abilities and ages. Whether you have a child starting Karate, you’re an adult beginner, or you wish to train as a family, our Positive Start Programme for Beginners is the perfect starting point.
