What’s the Difference Between
Traditional Karate and other Kids Activities?

PHILOSOPHY

Traditional Karate focuses on self-discipline, character development, and self-defence; things you can’t always learn at school.

JAPANESE VALUES

A traditional karate dojo emphasizes etiquette and respect.
Your child will develop more respect for themselves, and for others.

OPPORTUNITY

Our dojo is closely connected with Japan which provides your kids with extra opportunities for training and travel. We have a Junior Cultural Tour every 2 years.
