KOREAN KARATE 
Karate is renowned for its exceptional kicking and jumping techniques, which vary from punching and striking with the hands and elbows to striking with the shins and knees. Karate, whether practiced as an art, sport or for self-defence, carries the motto ‘never strike the first blow’. 
 
Benefits of karate include fitness, strength, flexibility, weight control, confidence, self discipline and an increased sense of well being.
