Question 5

Do I need to be fit to start karate?

Accepted Answer

NO - you just need to take the first step and show up. We meet you where you are at and your first classes will be slower as you take time to learn the correct pathways of your punches, blocks and kicks. Once you master these then you will build your fitness and you train.
