Karate History:
Joined Junseikan in September 2008 after my son Adyn began training at 6 yrs old. Was a great way to get fit and do an activity with Adyn. My daughter Jasmine began accompanying us to training when she was around 3 years old and joined into training when she turned 6 yrs old also.
What do you love about karate?
Karate has had a very positive influence on my life for the last 10 years, It enables you to strengthen muscle groups that support bad joints so physically it has been very helpful for my back and knee issues from playing sport when younger. It has many benefits beyond the physical side in terms of building resilience, confidence and composure under pressure which are very useful in general life.
There is a fantastic sense of community in our club and the friendships and bonds formed with other members will remain for a long time. An environment of encouragement and support and pushing your boundaries around your comfort zone encourage growth as an individual.
