WADO RYU KARATE
Wado Ryu, which translates as ‘the way of peace and harmony’ is a free flowing style of karate that allows more flexibility than most other rigid styles. It is a form of sport or ‘freestyle’ karate that includes punches, kicks, sweeps, take downs, kihon, self defence, weapons and semi contact sparring. Competitive sparring, where students aim to score points, is undertaken in controlled and supervised conditions. Students of Wado Ryu learn discipline, develop strength and flexibility, and improve power, fitness and confidence.
KICKBOXING CLASSES
Kickboxing is a fast-paced and dynamic martial art that enhances flexibility, balance and agility. As a student of kickboxing, you can expect to become fitter, improve your co-ordination and develop your confidence, as well as learning effective and useful self defence skills.
