About the Benefits of Studying Karate

 

Studying karate offers a plethora of benefits, both physical and mental. The following outlines some of the benefits to the training:

• Firstly, it enhances physical fitness by improving strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health through rigorous training sessions.
• Additionally, it fosters discipline and self-control as practitioners adhere to the principles of respect and etiquette within the dojo.
• Karate also cultivates self-confidence and resilience as individuals progress through belt ranks, setting and achieving goals along the way.
• Moreover, it provides practical self-defense skills, empowering individuals to protect themselves if necessary.
• Finally, karate promotes mental focus and concentration, sharpening the mind as practitioners learn intricate techniques and strategies.

The karate program is divided up into two classes running at the same time. An adult/parent class and a youth class. This gives the parents an opportunity to learn what their offspring learn and will give them something to share after class.  A good bonding process.

Good consistent lesson plans means that each class will follow the same curriculum regardless of the instructor. Further more, each week has the same lesson taught at each offering meaning that if one is unable to attend one class, they can jump into another class without paying extra fees.

During the month, each week has a theme.  The first week is focused on kata; the second on weapon training, the third week has a focus on self defence, while the last week is open (instructors' choice).

Finally, all the lesson plans are published on the 3 Fires website so students can view the upcoming lessons ahead of time.
