A very common question indeed. You often hear people saying 'Martial Arts are violent'. A statement that we as an organisation couldn't disagree more. Karate is a Martial Art but teaches its participants to only engage in fights to protect themselves or their loved ones. This noble characteristic is highlighted by the fact that the mere name of Karate which comes from the Japanese words 'Kara' meaning 'empty' and 'te' meaning hand, symbolizing that the karatekas won't hold any weapons to harm anyone and will only fight using their bare hands and feet only for self-defence.
Karate has developed over the years to a beautiful combat sport that teaches discipline and respect to the kids from a young age. It has a grading system and introduces the kids to the concept of setting goals and continuous improvement to reach these goals. Through that journey they will learn that failure is only a necessary part to blossom as well as the virtues of persistence and determination. Moreover, kids have the opportunity to participate in various National and International competitions if they wish to. You still thinking about it? Sign your kid up now!
