Our Answers
Where do we train?
We train in the boys gym of Newtown High School at the following address:
Newtown High School, Dolfor Road, SY16 1JE
What should I wear?
Karate is practiced in the traditional outfit known as a Gi. If you have one feel welcome to wear it, otherwise please wear something comfortable for physical activity such as loose fitted trousers like joggers or tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. You will likely get quite hot during the lesson so do not wear anything too warm.
Do I need to have previous knowledge in self defence?
No you will not need any previous knowledge in self defence. If you do have knowledge in self defence already then that's great but remember, all martials arts are different and what we teach is specific to the Shotokan style of Karate.
Can I bring food?
Our lessons are typically 1 hour and 30 minutes in length and we only allow breaks during the Summer period for a drink. Food is not permitted in the Dojo unless required for medical purposes.
Where can I purchase the Karate Outfit?
The traditional Karate outfit known as a Gi can be purchased from the Club Instructor. Simply make an inquiry during your first or next lesson.
