Our children's Beginners Karate Program
“A Positive Start” - Our purpose arranged Karate programs are designed to allow the opportunity for adults or children to develop a good foundation of basic Karate technique through simple core strength and flexibility exercises specially arranged with the beginner in mind focusing on structure, movement, involvement and communication. The beginner programs are developed and ran by the seniors of the Independent Martial Arts group who have been teaching and training in North Bridge Leisure Centre since around 1990.
We always try to keep classes well structured and designed around basic repetitive Karate movements, simple exercise & flexibility routines which children can understand, incorporating correct use of training equipment, safety in the training room (dojo) and co-ordination skills using the teaching structure from the Traditional Shotokan Karate system (Karate-do – Karate-jutsu – Karate-jitsu).
