Karate
The Lifestyle Karate course will introduce you to the essentials of Karate and its value in developing strength, fitness, flexibility, coordination, balance and self-defence awareness. The five-week course covers strength and coordination drills, standup striking, throws, takedowns and ground-fighting. Within the course you will also learn the importance of fitness and flexibility in developing strong and effective self-defence and martial arts skills. Your experienced instructors will show you how modern self-defence techniques can be traced back to traditional exercise forms developed centuries ago in the Orient.
