A Shotokan Karate Club in
South Liverpool
Established 1993
OUR ETHOS
We offer a caring and safe environment where children and adults can learn the art of Shotokan Karate. We give everyone at our club the opportunity to fulfil their maximum potential. Our club celebrates diversity with a focus on affinity, integrity and respect.
BUILDS CONFIDENCE
Karate infuses confidence by teaching us our limitations, overcoming fears and improving physical fitness. By learning self-defense techniques and strategies with your training partners, you are going to build more assertiveness and confidence. This combination will have a empowering influence on your self-esteem.
HEALTHY MIND + BODY
Regular training allows us to strengthen our mind and teaches it to work in unison with our body.
It increases your cardiovascular capacity, enabling your body to release a larger volume of oxygen to your brain and bloodstream, helping you feel a lot more vigilant, sharp, and ready to go. Regular Karate practice will make a significant difference in your energy level and mood.
ENCOURAGES Self–discipline
To master karate you must stay disciplined. Progress comes from going from one goal to the next and working on mastering skills at each systematic step. Karate helps you become patient and focussed not only in your long-terms goals but how to manage your body, movements, emotions, and responses.
