Come as you are, wearing anything (weather depending?) is fine, loose fitted clothing and/or active wear is recommended.

Bring a bottle of water if you can as this helps for one or two drink breaks.

Arriving a little earlier before class is recommended so we can talk about what the training is, house keeping & get to know each other.

TRAINING FOR EVERY BODY, SHUKOKAI ‘the way for all’

Little Samurai under 8 years

We are proud to offer our unique Kinder Karate Program, designed specifically for the little ones, in order to help get them ready for school, and to advance to our traditional karate classes. This class aims to develop, both gross and fine motor skills, balance, and encourage your child to learn in a structured environment, following teachers' instructions and learning to work with others. Classes run for 30 minutes.

Kids Karate under 13 years

Our Junior Karate classes are of course designed to develop your childs self esteem and self confidence. But I feel that the greatest thing we can do for you and your children is encourage them to develop a sense of community. The dojo is a safe encouraging environment, where children can push themselves physically and mentally to achieve amazing personal goals in all aspects of their lives. Beginners (WHITE & RED belts) who have trained for 1 year their classes run for 45 minutes, Novices (YELLOW & ORANGE belts) in their 2nd year of training their classes will often run for 60 minutes. Intermediates (GREEN belts & beyond) are often in their 2nd or 3rd year of training & their classes often run for 60 minutes.

SENIOR & VETERANS KARATE

Teenage to more mature (you'd be surprised!) Karate Training is hard work, great for your own person development, but most importantly it's FUN! Yes to Self Defence! Yes to Fitness! Yes to Flexibility! All of these attributes are vitally important the older we get. But most of all karate training is an opportunity to meet new like minded people and have a laugh together. Beginners who’ve trained for 1-3 years their class runs for 60 minutes, Junior Kyuu grades who’ve trained 3 years or beyond their class runs for 75 minutes.

KICKBOXING

We teach Kickboxing with a focus on fitness and self defence without the claim to be a Kru ourselves nor the actual Muay Thai system itself, although Steve does train with a Muay Boran Kickboxing group. Our class is coached through levels of competency and Graded through a system based on their knowledge, skill, attitude and attendance. This is great for teenagers and adults of all ages, bring a skipping rope, towel, drink bottle wearing loose fitted clothing and/or active wear. This class goes for 60 minutes.
