Q What is it like being a beginner in a class?
A. Starting anything new can be a challenge so we teach beginners separately to the main group. This means you will be at the same level as the other people in the class.

Q. Will I get hurt?
A. Lots of people think karate is all about hurting, being hurt and being thrown around. Karate is a physical activity but we train on a controlled, light-contact basis and as a beginner, your training will not involve any throwing.
