Club Highlights & Spotlights
Clunk. Thud. Giggle?
They say time flies when you're having fun, and boy does time fly! We bow in and stretch out. The air fills with the sound of limbs striking pads, there's laughter, more striking. Time to switch up. Now someone's being thrown. Laughter erupts from another pair. The evening slyly slips by. Techniques are quietly becoming second nature, beyond the awareness of their practitioners. We bow out. There's friendly chit chat and the fighters depart as friends happily declaring, See you next...
Safety First
Our club's main goal is safety. We teach our members to stay safe and protect others, including knowing when to use their skills and when to evade. We also cover how to avoid situations and threats before they escalate. This philosophy extends to our wider community, and we've been happy to demonstrate our skills for external groups when requested.
Strikes & Deflections & Take-Downs, Oh my!
One of my personal favourites is when the mats come out (am I allowed to pick favourites... ok, my secret favourite.. shh). As our teachings are geared towards self-defense, the karate we teach reflects karate more so from it's origins when it had a lot of controlled throws and take-downs, as well as strikes.
Refining techniques
When we first started this journey we came with the pre-bias of prior teachings. We tried to replicate what we'd been taught, but for a different goal. We learned that not all we'd learned previously was relevant in teaching karate for self-defense.
We dove anew into learning all we could grasp from the origins of karate and defensive arts. We pass everything we know and learn onto our students, and encourage inquisitiveness. Learning is a lifelong journey.
Shout-Out to Our Start-up Crew
Our club has faced several challenges since we first opened our doors, but we found our stride and are making tremendous progress. We are deeply grateful to our members who have been with us from the beginning (or nearly the beginning) and have weathered the obstacles, setbacks, and occasional chaos that have accompanied starting out independently. You guys rock!
