Martial arts syllabus that covers a wide range of self-defence scenarios. We believe that by combining the best elements from different martial arts, our students will be better equipped to handle real-life situations.
At Gakusei Karate, we prioritise the safety and well-being of our students. All classes are conducted in a safe and friendly fashion, ensuring that students feel comfortable while learning essential self-defence skills. Our instructors are experienced and dedicated to helping students develop their physical and mental strength, as well as their discipline and focus.
We offer a variety of classes to cater to different age groups and skill levels. Our Family Karate Classes are designed for younger children and families, allowing parents to train alongside their children and create lasting memories. These classes not only build focus and concentration in children but also promote self-discipline and help improve various areas of their lives. Additionally, children participate in our anti-bullying and safety awareness programmes, ensuring they are equipped with the tools to handle challenging situations.
For students aged 12 and above, we have Karate Classes specifically designed for older children and adults. In these classes, we cover self-defence scenarios that students may encounter in school or on the street. We address a range of topics, from wrist grabs to knife defence, providing practical skills to protect oneself in real-life situations.
We also offer age-specific Self Defence and Sparring Classes, catering to different age groups to ensure the material covered is appropriate and engaging. These classes provide students with the opportunity to apply their skills in a controlled and safe environment, gaining practical experience and confidence in their abilities.
In addition to regular classes, we offer Self Defence Workshops customised to meet the specific needs of organisations and individuals. These workshops can be tailored to a desired length and content, providing participants with intensive self-defence training and empowering them with practical skills for personal safety.
At Gakusei Karate, we emphasise continuous learning and development. The name “gakusei,” meaning student, reflects our belief that martial arts is a lifelong journey of learning. Our instructors continue to train on a weekly basis, ensuring their skills remain sharp and up-to-date. We place a strong emphasis on self-defence rather than sports or points fighting, as it was originally intended.
By teaching principles of movement, body mechanics, and power generation, we aim to equip our students with effective self-defence techniques that can be applied in real-life situations.
Our self-defence syllabus incorporates elements from various martial arts such as Brazillian Ju Jitsu, Kickboxing, Krav Maga, and Aikido. We recognise that no single martial art has all the answers, but by combining effective techniques from different arts, we have developed a comprehensive and exciting syllabus that covers a wide range of self-defence scenarios.
