Sandhurst Karate Club

At Sandhurst Karate Club you will learn one of the oldest and most effective types of self-defence known - Shotokan Karate. The Club meets and trains most weeks at the Sandhurst Sports Centre. Shotokan Karate is very disciplined, both mentally and physically, and all students must treat the art and fellow students with respect. Karate is for self-defence only and is not something with which to show off or seek confrontation. A training session is usually broken down into four sections: warm-up, basic techniques, sparring, and kata. The warm-up is crucial to prepare the body, while basic techniques focus on perfecting moves. Sparring allows students to practice techniques with a partner in a controlled manner, and kata involves performing a series of techniques in a set formation to master skills without a partner.
