What Is Karate?

Martial Arts are a means of self-defence that requires concentration, effort and positive attitude. It is also a method of physical and mental conditioning and by nature is a very goal oriented activity. Martial Arts training will teach physical skills which you can retain for a lifetime, as well as ways of thinking and dealing with everyday problems.

Childrens' Training Programmes

We find that as the children train in this disciplined Martial Art, where Dojo Courtesy is very high on our priorities, their Self Confidence and Self Discipline rapidly improves.

The movements in Karate develop co-ordination and timing while increasing strength and flexibility. At BJRKD we strive to make our children's classes fun and exciting, while teaching respect and self discipline to our young students.

Our philosophy is to teach youngsters basic values, such as respect for themselves and others, through Karate training, goal setting, and goal achievement. Children gain self-confidence from learning different skills and from positive reinforcement from Bu Jutsu Ryu Karate Do instructors.

What Does Karate Offer?

The main reason many people start at Bu Jutsu Ryu Karate Do is for its self-defence value. This will in turn build confidence in yourself and help you stand up to certain intimidating situations. Learning and practicing Karate is relaxing and a very enjoyable fitness exercise. The training begins simply with learning to loosen up by stretching properly. It progresses at the level you feel comfortable with.

Karate practice is superb for body conditioning. You don't need any special or expensive equipment; you can practice Karate at your convenience, in your home or at our Club. Unlike most sports it can be practiced throughout the year, without the need for a constant partner. Students find that Karate movements develop coordination, increased strength, and flexibility.

As with most arts, there is a wealth of knowledge that can be mastered, but it is easy to start learning and the benefits become apparent immediately. We try to make the learning experience both pleasant and fun and you should enjoy coming to the Dojo, whether to work with the instructors or to combine exercise with socializing

Will Martial Arts Make My Child Aggressive?

Many parents worry that Martial Arts training will make their children overly aggressive. The foundation of Karate is its self defence value.

Students learn to respect the ability that they have, to know that the only appropriate place for their karate skills is at the Karate Club, practising at home or in a self-defence situation. Our students also develop a sense of respect for themselves and their own health, which will aid them in the future if they are confronted with peer pressure in relation to gangs and drugs.

Those who train in Bu Jutsu Ryu Karate-Do should help others, never seek trouble, refrain from arguments and refrain from senseless fighting.
