John's all about traditional Shotokan karate, emphasising the essentials: Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring). Kick, block, and strike your way to mastering self-defence in Kihon. Flow through the art of Kata to boost coordination and agility. Engage in Kumite to test your skills against a partner.
Progress is key at Karate Academy Scotland. John uses a coloured belt system to help you track your growth and set new challenges. Aim for that black belt and beyond!
