KATA
Kata uses a variety of kicks, punches, combinations in a formation. Each kata is linked to a belt/s which will get more challenging as you progress in your martial arts journey. There are 10 Kata's to learn from white belt all the way through to 1st dan Black belt.
Kata's offer a powerful and practical learning tool that not only teaches students proper technique, but also focus and visualisation skills as they transition through the motions in sequence.
SELF DEFENCE
I do not actively teach aggressive martial arts to be used on people outside of the club. My club has high standards of dicipline and control. However, We will be teaching elements of stranger danger, bullying awareness, conflict resolutions, quick escapes and effective hand to hand self defence techniques to only be used as a final option. Keeping students up to date with these techniques will help my students be aware of potential dangers in the real world.
I'LL HELP YOU LEARN
I have trained in ITF Taekwondo for nearly 20 years now. Starting out as a tiny 7 year old in my clubs after school programme. As my old club grew, so did I.
