Improve Fitness, Confidence And Self-Defence. First Lesson FREE.
You Are Not Too Old To Start Karate, many adults think about learning karate but never start because they believe they are too old,
not fit enough or should have begun when they were younger, that simply is not necessary. At Bushido Karate, adults can start Shotokan Karate with no previous martial arts experience, whether you are in your twenties, forties, fifties or beyond, karate can be adapted to your current ability while still giving you an enjoyable physical and mental challenge.
You do not need to be extremely flexible, You do not need to be super-fit, and you certainly do not need to already know how to fight. You simply need to be willing to learn.
Regular karate training can help improve:
- General fitness
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Stress management
- Balance
- Mobility
- Coordination
- Self-defence awareness
- Concentration
Confidence
Karate also gives you something that many forms of exercise do not — a skill that continues to develop.
Instead of simply repeating a workout, you learn techniques, combinations, kata, timing, movement and practical applications. There is always something new to understand.
Karate For Over 40s
Training does not have to be performed exactly the same way at 45 or 55 as it might be at 18. Good karate training develops with the individual. Older beginners can concentrate on correct technique, balance, posture, timing, mobility and efficient movement rather than trying to compete physically with younger students. The objective is long-term improvement.
What Happens In My First Lesson?
Your first lesson gives you an introduction to the fundamentals of Shotokan Karate, you may learn:
- Basic stances
- Punches
- Blocks
- Kicks
- Movement
- Simple combinations
The instructor will demonstrate the techniques and explain how they work. Nobody expects you to remember everything.
Your first lesson is about trying karate and becoming familiar with the training environment.
Do I Need To Be Fit?
No. You start from your current level of fitness. Karate itself can help improve your cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility and coordination.
There is no need to get fit before starting karate. Starting karate can be part of the process of becoming fitter.
What Should I Wear?
Comfortable sports clothing is suitable for your first lesson. A T-shirt with jogging bottoms or similar clothing is fine. You do not need to purchase a karate suit before trying the class.
Do I Need Previous Experience?
No. Complete beginners are welcome. Many adult students begin karate without having done any martial arts before. The fundamentals are taught from the beginning.
Will I Be Expected To Fight?
No. You will not simply be placed into a fight during your first lesson. Partner training and kumite are introduced progressively. You first learn the basic techniques, distance, movement, timing and control needed to work safely with another student.
