Each student will be worthy of his grade as we reward those who work hard for their success. As we are traditional we do not 'give away' grades, like so many of the modern, commercially-motivated and sport-karate orientated systems around today, we recognise and reward hard work, determination and dedication.
Although children are permitted to attend many of our training sessions; they must understand that they may be training with (and will be required to behave like) adults at all times.
What you will be learning is authentic and traditional Wadoryu Karate, not a Commercial or Sport-based Karate system. The syllabus we teach is not 'made-up along the way', it's the 'original' that was introduced into the United Kingdom from Japan in 1963 with a traditional Japanese heritage that dates back to 1934.
Parents are also invited & encouraged to train alongside their children.
