The classes are traditional, disciplined and serious with a very positive attitude towards the student, but we make the classes fun, friendly and enjoyable for everyone.
There is a good mixture of karate students at the club, boys, girls, teenagers and men and women, from new and novice students, as well as many black belts that train here on a regular basis.
The classes are structured following a kyokushin grading syllabus and also very practical incorporating all aspects of karate and martial arts: - Self defence, kata, karate techniques, fitness and stamina, flexibility, awareness and confidence building, earning coloured karate belts, bag work, non-contact karate sparring, full-contact karate sparring, kick boxing.
Children and adult karate classes are held in the studio at the Pent Valley Leisure Centre. It is a superb training facility for karate, which has a sprung floor, mirrored walls and air conditioning. More info on www.folkestone-karate-club.co.uk & www.internationalkarate.co.uk
