Traditional Karate Classes

Bushi no Te Kai takes pride in teaching traditional Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate, an art that translates to “Empty hand” primarily focused on self-protection. Karate offers numerous benefits that go beyond physical techniques. Our training emphasises self-protection techniques, teaching students to punch, kick, block and locks. Importantly, we instil the understanding that the best self-protection comes from avoiding trouble and physical confrontation altogether. Beyond self-protection, Karate serves as an excellent activity with a range of additional advantages for students and practitioners:

• Fitness

  : Our training enhances flexibility, mobility, and serves as an effective calorie-burning activity.

• Confidence

  : Active participation, goal-setting, meeting new people, and training in a positive environment contribute to improved confidence.

• Coordination

  : Learning a martial art involves learning patterns and combinations of techniques that enhance coordination, reactions, and reflexes.

• Discipline

  : We foster an encouraging but disciplined learning environment, where students follow rules, consider others, and adhere to etiquette and traditions. This cultivates courtesy and selfcontrol.

Karate training offers more than just physical exercise. It is an engaging activity that carries a rich history and tradition, making it a unique and intriguing pursuit for individuals of all ages. We welcome you to start training and experience the transformative power of Traditional Okinawan Karate and unlock a world of self-improvement and personal growth.
