Frequently Asked Questions (faq)

Do I need to be strong, flexible and in shape to join any martial arts?

Definitely not! You will become stronger, fitter, and more flexible when you join one of our programs.

Ideally you should train as often as you can, however a minimum of twice a week is required to develop quality Karate.

We have many different class sizes ranging from 5 – 15, however we try and keep the teacher to student ratio at 1 instructor to 10 students.

Due to the vast number of classes available, we encourage you to have a make up class whenever possible.

We have a shop through the dojo where all your Karate uniforms and equipment can be purchased to make sure you get the right fit and size.
