Will I get injured ?

All classes are strictly controlled to minimise the risk of injury so that there is no more risk of injury from practising SKU karate than playing other sports such as football or hockey.

Am I fit enough ?

If you are in good health it should be possible to learn. If you have health problems, consult your doctor. Most people who join our club regard themselves as being unfit and join to get fit. Whether you regard yourself fit or not, training is structured towards enjoyable learning at an easy pace giving progressive fitness development.

Am I too old ?

Many of our students are in the 40-60 age range, and train successfully, it is a known fact that the flexibility training that karate provides, improves circulation to joints, and can actually improve arthritic and muscular conditions.

My child is shy will they learn to protect themselves ?

Whilst we don't teach children to be aggressive, karate training helps to develop a child's confidence and self esteem giving them important motor and life skills helping them to enter society with confident and enthusiastic outlook.

What do I need to wear ?

For your first few lessons all you need are some loose fitted clothing such as track suit, shorts, tee shirt or anything you feel comfortable in. Once you have decided Karate is for you, then we can order a Karate suit (Gi) from our SKU suppliers
