Airdrie JKA Karate offers a teen/adult program. The emphasis is on traditional karate skills, including blocks, punches, kicks, and break falls.
We use Japanese terminology throughout and the students enjoy learning the terms for the physical movements they are doing. Our students wear the traditional white gi (uniform) and their level of personal advancement is indicated by the colour belt they wear during class. Our focus is on student self-development rather than ranking, and all members are encouraged to advance at their own pace.
In a typical class, we do warm-up exercises, basic karate blocks, punches and kicks along with associated stances. As they become more proficient with the basics, students will learn kata
(a prearranged series of movements), and do sparring.
Teens and adults benefit significantly from karate training and in particular will benefit in the following ways:
Our instructors successfully mix fun and learning together. Our students benefit greatly from their wealth of knowledge and expertise.
