Classes strike a balance between physical exercise, self-defence skills, and mindfulness practices. By joining, you'll boost your fitness, learn effective combat techniques, and engage with a supportive community right here in London.
All you need to bring to your first class are some comfy gym clothes, a water bottle, and an open mind. Whether you opt for a single session or a discounted monthly pass, Carlton has you covered with in-person options. Prefer online? Just shoot an email to camden@bskf.org for more details.
Classes are conveniently held at two locations. On Sundays, head to the Holborn House Community Centre, near Holborn & Chancery train stations, for a session in their spacious sports hall. If Thursdays work better, join the action at the Academy Mews Dance Academy in Camden, a short walk from Camden Town station.
New joiners benefit from a month's insurance covering all Shorinji Kempo Clubs in the UK, ensuring peace of mind while training. Safety is a priority here, with a dedicated Health and Safety Officer overseeing protocols, first aid equipment, and safeguarding measures.
Expect some bruises – it's full-contact after all – but by following the BSKF Guidelines and Carlton's rules, you can train safely. Guidelines stress training at your own pace, taking breaks, and maintaining good hygiene.
All instructors are not only qualified but insured under the BSKF. They adhere to federation regulations to ensure top-notch training and safety. With first aid-trained instructors, classes run smoothly twice a week, ready to handle any bumps or scrapes.
Carlton's Camden Shorinji Kempo is all about inclusivity and safety. They contribute actively to BSKF, valuing diversity within the community. Join today and start your martial arts journey with a group dedicated to physical fitness, personal growth, and mindfulness.
