Busy classes this week as we begin the last 5/6 weeks of grading preparations!

Excellent to see more new students in the dojo starting their journey with us and to see our existing students bringing their A game every class 💥

We’ve focused on kumite and kata across last last Saturday and Tuesday, we continue in the same vein this weekend 🙇🏻‍♂️

Saturday saw us look at mainly kihon and kata 👌
First and second classes saw us look at kihon briefly before looking at Hangetsu and Heian Yondan respectively 👍 each class ended with some bunkai 💥

Third class was a technical look at the 🟠 kihon with use of Bertie the Belt to aid focus on hip movement 😎

Final class saw us add uchi uke, Soto uke and shuto uke onto what we did in the previous week before finishing with applying shuto uke 💪

Brilliant set of classes and great to welcome some more students to our club 🙏 we go again on Tuesday 🥋🙇🏻‍♂️

Last Saturday saw us return to syllabus with 3/4 classes focusing on kihon in detail 👌

First class, we looked at the blocking combinations as well as the main punching combination for 🟤 and ⚫️ before moving onto some pad work 💥

Second class, we stripped back the punching combination and some of the blocking combinations and built these back up to what 🟢, 🟣 and 🟣 ⚪️ needed 👍

Third class, was a focus on Heian Nidan for the 🟠 before a little look at bunkai to the first kiai sequence 🙏

Last class, was back to kihon with basic punches and age uke before a look at how age uke can be used as a strike or takedown 🤩

Super effort and great to see so many back after the summer hols. We go again tomorrow 🙇🏻‍♂️🥋

Starting somewhere new can be intimidating.

“Will I be the only beginner?”
“What if I get it wrong?”
“Will everyone else be better than me?”

Here's the thing...
Every single person in our dojo was a beginner once. 🥋
Nobody expects you to know what you're doing on your first night.

At CFTS, you'll find students of different ages, grades and experience levels training alongside and supporting one another.
No egos.
No expectation that you'll get everything right.
Just turn up, give it a go and take that first step.

💛 You might be surprised how quickly the dojo starts to feel like somewhere you belong.

“I wish they believed in themselves a little more.”

It’s something many parents can relate to.
Maybe they’re nervous about trying new things. Maybe they’re reluctant to put their hand up in class. Or perhaps they give up when something feels difficult.

🥋 Karate gives children opportunities to succeed, improve and recognise their own progress.

Little by little:
⭐ A technique gets better.
⭐ A kata is remembered.
⭐ A new belt is earned.
⭐ Something that was difficult becomes achievable.

Confidence doesn’t appear overnight. It grows through achievement.

At CFTS, we want every student to leave the dojo standing a little taller than when they walked in.
