Wakamusha Kids Karate Club:

There are many reasons for joining a Karate club, for example, to become physically fit, to have fun, self-defence or enlightenment. Whatever your child’s reason for doing Karate it is supported at Bushido.

This Karate Club is extremely friendly and welcomes children of all levels from the age of 8 upwards.

The lessons focus on such things as, courtesy, respect, discipline, safety skills, and we also use special teaching techniques and skills drills to improve co-ordination, balance and focus.

Technique wise lessons cover:

Basics – Karate movements are broken down into simple easy to learn movements e.g. blocks, strikes and kicks.

Combinations – This is where basic movements are stringed together, helps concentration levels and develops fluidity of movement.

Kata – This is a traditional form of exercise where a number of movements are put together and is practised as though the child is fighting an invisible opponent.

Kumite – This is the sparring aspect of karate, there are many forms of kumite which develops the child’s confidence and technique.

Pad Work – This is where the child strikes pads with the techniques learnt. This enables the child to feel resistance and allows them to perfect their technique.

Each lesson begins with warm up exercises consisting of a mix of stretching exercises which improves flexibility and cardio exercise which works the heart and other muscles. This is done in a fun and enjoyable way integrating games into the warm ups.

We believe the most rewarding way to bring out the best in our students is to give a positive attitude, be encouraging and plenty of praise.
