Keep moving. Keep learning.
It is never too late for an adult to start karate. Traditional Shotokan, taught step by step, at a pace that suits you, with something new to learn in almost every class.
01The approach
Three things to know
Start when you are ready
Nothing about karate makes it too hard for most adults to learn. You can start as a complete beginner, or come back to something you did years ago.
Your own pace
Not every adult learns at the same pace. Every move is taught step by step, with one-to-one help when you need it.
Always something new
Karate is a lifelong pursuit. There is something new to learn in almost every class, however long you have trained.
02Technique first
Detail keeps you learning
Shotokan is built on detailed technique: punches, blocks and kicks, then kata, set patterns of movement against opponents from several directions. Every move is detailed, so there is always something to work on.
Good technique asks for balance, coordination and flexibility, so training gives you a reason to keep working on them, at a pace that suits you.
If you have a health condition or an injury, check with your doctor before you start, and tell your instructor so training can be taken at the right pace.
03Belonging
A club that trains together
WSKF describes itself as a large family that likes to train together. Classes are mostly group practice, with one-to-one help when you need it.
Everyone follows the same black belt syllabus, so what you learn connects with every other age group in the club.
04Progression
One syllabus. No rush.
You work through the same grades as every WSKF student, from your first belt toward black belt, at your own pace.
Gradually you put what you know to the test, and before long you are doing things you could not do when you started.
05Questions
Before you start
I have never trained. Can I really start at my age?
Yes. It is never too late for adults to start, and every technique is taught step by step, at your pace.
Is there an upper age limit?
This group is for adults from 50 to 75 and over. Talk to the club about your own situation when you enquire.
Do I need to be fit or flexible already?
No. You start where you are. If you have a health condition or injury, check with your doctor first and let your instructor know.
Who will I train with?
The club can tell you how adult classes are arranged at your venue.
What does it cost?
The club will talk you through fees when you enquire.
Anything else, ring 9444 3737.
