Detailed description:
Classes begin with a series of stretching and warming up exercises. Students then learn to perform a series of strikes, blocks, and kicks and to combine these techniques to block and counter-attack an imaginary opponent. Techniques are then practiced with partners in very controlled circumstances under the watchful eye of the instructor. This helps students learn how to react against an attack.
The lesson continues with kata - a sequence of moves to a set pattern to demonstrate blocking and attacking several opponents in different directions. The class then ends with warm down exercises. Beginners should wear loose fitting track suit bottoms and t shirt.
Sensei Simon is a JKA Qualified Instructor and third dan black belt. He first studied karate at Leeds University in 1974. In 1976 he moved to London and joined the renowned Marshall Street dojo of the late Sensei Enoeda until 1982 when he rested until 1999! In 1999, aged 45, he re-commenced training and gained his first black belt in 2003 under Sensei Ohta, Chief Instructor of the JKA in England, second dan in 2006, and third dan in 2011.
