The Club name - Jissen (じっせん) is Japanese for combat / actual fighting.
The style of karate practiced is Seiki Juku (meaning “True Spirit”) which is largely kyokushin based. It is not merely a style of karate, but a philosophy, laying great emphasis on safety, discipline and the building of confidence. Unfortunately, crime including physical violence is on the increase. Hopefully you or your family will never be in a situation where you have to defend yourself, but should you find yourself in such a position, Karate could be the deciding factor. Not only does Karate teach you self-defence, it also provides a high level of fitness, flexibility and therefore the physical attributes required to cope with a violent situation should it arise. Plus it is enjoyable to learn.
