Throughout history the martial arts have continued to evolve always looking for better methods and techniques. Our own style is typical of this philosophy. We are always looking to improve our karate but not forgetting our traditional values.
Over the years my instructors have been fortunate to have trained with many top martial arts exponents from a wide range of disciplines. These styles have included not only those featuring striking and kicking techniques used
in mainstream Karate but also systems specialising in locks and throws, we include many of these locks and throws in the self defence part of our syllabus. Weapon defences against both traditional and modern weapons are also covered. The kicking techniques in the grading syllabus are of Korean origin. We also use kata from the same origin. In addition we have Japanese and Okinawan kata for supplementary training and for use in W.K.F. tournaments. The basic blocks and punches are common to most styles although slight variations exist depending on origin. Our basic techniques are our own interpretation of these moves.
