BASIC TRAINING RULES

Hello! 
Here's a quick guide for yourself, parents and guardians to follow when attending our classes at Shotokan Fitness Karate School 
🏫

(1)   Make sure you mentally and philosophy fit for training

•  Don't attend the classes if you not feeling well -- until you're fit for training again

•  Also on your return let Sensei know about your unwellnes -- so you and others can be better looked after

(2)  Don't attend with empty stomach and eat at least one hour prior class 
(3)  Bring water 💦 
(4)  Use the bathroom prior class
(5)  Don't be late 
(6)  Attend with full official uniform
-
New to our classes?
New students can attend in sports clothing -- wearing a t-shirt and track pants. After the trials classes if you like to join us -- we will provide what you need
(7)  Bring protective gear to every class

such as:
•  gloves
•  trainers (if required)
•  masks (required for sparring only at the moment)
•  hand ✋ gel 
-
If any of these are missing -- will affect your training and others to some extent.


PARENTS / GUARDIANS

(1)  Parents / guardians at drop off & collection time in the DOJO and shared areas please wear FACE MASKS, maintain social distance & disperse quickly. 

•  Wearing face mask is a condition for yourself (your child's) participation. 

(2)  Please fix your child's (yourself) karate suit before class and teach your child how to do it themselves. We can't help due to Covid-19. 

•  If the (karate) trousers are too long -- should be cut to measure for your child's (yourself) safety. 

(3)  Make sure your child's (yourself) NAILS to both hands and feet are cut short to prevent injuries when sparring. 

(4)  When dropping off and picking up - only one person (ADULTS) should be bringing the child to class. Not the all family -  unless you have no choice. 

WE THE DOJO

We may exercise the following. 
•  Temperature check on arrival
•  If we believe that the student is not feeling well -- we may ask leave the Dojo
•  If you're early for class it is great! 🙂 But for safety we may not allow entry earlier than 5-10min prior class starting

Heian Shodan Kata

Image
STUDENT GUIDE TO KATA HEIAN SHODAN The Kata has 21 moves. Heian Shodan originally the second of the five kata, this is now practiced as the first by most novice students in modern Shotokan Karate clubs. Heian Shodan is distinguished by its use of the down block, the upper block, the middle level stepping punch, the sword hand block, and the fact that every technique takes one step to complete. The purpose of this kata is to teach the student basic stepping in a front stance and back stance, to teach the application of stepping punches following blocks which remove any obstructing limbs, and the use of blocking as attacking. Heian Shodan is generally best introduced to students after they have completed a 2 month long sequence of training in the basic techniques. They should be familiar with the concepts of the individual hand and foot motions, the three basic stances, the basic kicking techniques, and the processes involved in advancing, retreating, and turning t

Personal view of Karate by Alban

Personal view of Karate complicated by Alban Brahimi as part of our junior Black Belts paperwork at our dojo in London, Paddington, W2 and the surrounding areas. Albans Personal view of Karate Here's what he has to say. Why karate is important to me. Karate is important because it gives me a safe environment for me to express myself truly. It's important because not only is it good for (self-defence) but for my health too, it’s also fun and exciting. It taught me discipline, respect and duty, making me a better person.  Because of this I cannot thank my sensei enough for this opportunity; without him I could not have pushed myself to my limits and beyond. How karate benefits me. Karate benefits me in many ways; for example, by improving my physical health. The way karate does this is through a variety of different techniques and exercises from cardio to muscle training to many other things. Karate also brings up my mental health as (somehow) makes

What makes a good Sensei

Image
WHAT IS A SENSEI?  In your study of Karate, no one will be more important than your teacher, your sensei. The word is made up of two ideograms, sen, which means “ahead” or “precede,” and sei, which means “life.” Put together, they create a new word that means “one who is ahead of you in life.” Your sensei, your teacher, is your elder and is deserving of your respect. In Japan, teachers are considered to be more than just instructors of a particular subject. They are regarded as role models for their students in all aspects of life. Japanese teachers of math or social studies, for example, are expected not only to know about their subjects but also to lead exemplary personal lives, so that their students may look up to them. This is doubly true for a sensei of martial art such as Karate. You should respect your sensei and behave accordingly, listening carefully to his or her instructions and teachings. Your sensei is someone who has learned much from many years of int
