Event Information
Our Beginners Give It A Go is designed specifically for people with little or no previous karate experience, so you'll be learning alongside other beginners in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment. Our experienced instructors will teach you everything from the ground up, so there's no need to worry if you've never done martial arts before.
During the session you'll get an introduction to traditional karate, including:
-
Line work – learning the basic punches, blocks, kicks and stances that form the foundation of karate.
-
Pad work and partner drills – putting techniques into practice in a safe and controlled way (where appropriate).
-
Kata – traditional sequences of movements ("forms") that help develop technique, coordination and balance.
Karate is a fantastic way to improve your fitness, build confidence, develop new skills and meet new people. Whether you're looking to stay active, challenge yourself or make new friends at university, our club offers a welcoming community both on and off the dojo floor.
As you continue training throughout the year, you'll also have the opportunity to take part in gradings, allowing you to progress through the coloured belts and recognise your improvement and dedication.
