SEISHIN KARATE

"Seishin" is the Japanese word for "spirit", in the sense of soul, will and mindfulness, and we aim to embody those elements of Karate... Both sharing a passion for pragmatic, pressure tested Karate that stands up in the real world, we believe we offer something that many local clubs don't - an honest approach to realistic Karate, with real thought on how those techniques can be applied in potentially life saving situations, rather than on a mat at a competition... While we respect and enjoy sports Karate, our main focus will be self protection, although everything taught will be labelled in the context of either self protection, or sport Karate, so you know which skills you're developing at any given time.
