Bournemouth Karate Club (Wado Ryu)

Grrr to technology. Had to set up a new web server, which didn't like the old CMS that wouldn't run on PHP7.

Thought I would set up the core pages first and then slowly and on any remaining pages.

I will start to add blog items mainly to cover any reports or ramblings that I may have, which won't sit in the natural structure of the website about the club.

This is a video of me slowing running through Wado Ryu Pinan Nidan kata, at a pace where I am still overcoming tight ankles, lack of flexibility and having had Covid just after the new year. You will see the flow of the kata and me working on some finer details as well as ideas that have come to my head.

In Summary...

We are a small local club training in the Wado Ryu style of Japanese karate. We focus on health, steady improvement, and good basic movement that you can use for the rest of your life.

Am I too old?

We teach 16 years and above. People can still start at any age, that's the beauty of good traditional karate.

What do I need to start?

Loose track suit bottoms and a t-shirt will do for starters. After a few weeks you can purchase a white karate suit.

How much does is it cost?

Thursday lessons are £6 for the one and a half hour session.
