Class Structure:

Please note: As of Thursday March 1st we will be operaing under a new timetable. Monday & Wednesday night classes will remain the same. Tuesday and Thursday nights will change. The cardio kickboxing class will be converted toa Muay Thai Kickboxing for Fitness class with more emphasis on correct execution of technique. We are also introducing a one hour CSW class on a Tuesday night. The Thursday night MMA class will be shortened to 1 hour and will incorporate both CSW and MMA for the hour.

Sparring

Please note that mouth guards are complusory during sparring. If you do not have a mouthguard at training, you will not be allowed to spar. It is a good idea to get into the habbit of brining your mouthguard to training on all nights. Groin protectors, gloves and shin pads are available in class for junior members. Senior karate members and MMA students are encouraged to purchase their own protective equipment.

Competition:

Our Karate Classes are not really geared for sports karate as we place more emphasis on practical technique and self protection concepts. However we are willing to hold a sports/competition class once a fortnight on a Saturday morning if there are enough members interested in competing in martial arts tournaments. We would concentrate on the Sparring and Kata divisions. Register your interest on the noticeboard only if you are commited to train regularly and compete.

Gradings:

Grading and rank review will now occur every 5-6 Weeks with students passing "mini gradings" in between ranks where a white tag ( tape) will be awarded between gradings.

The first white tag will represent an achievement of the basics for the next level ( i.e . Stances, Striking, Blocking, Kicking, etc ). The second white tag will represent an understanding of the Kata, Drills, Groundwork, and Self Protection requirements for the next level. Once members have 2 white tags then they are ready to grade for the next belt level at next grading review class.

Next Grading review will take place on Monday 14th of May and Wednesday 27th of June.

Advanced Gradings: Monday 25th of June and August ( date to be advised )

Workshops and social events : to be advised
