Background:
The school is run by Kevin William's who has practiced karate for 25 years and

Dojo fees: Payable monthly Adults £30.00.
Environment: Taught in a traditional wooden japanese training hall at William's home located in the rear garden for privacy.
Dojo visits: Interested parties are welcome to attend and
watch a lesson.
Lesson content: This depends on the level of the student,
however a typical lesson will include a warm up with stamina and
stretching exercises. Followed by:
Kihon -stationary and moving fundamental technique development.
Kakie - pushing hands to develop sensitivity.
Kata - practice and analysis of formal attack and defense routines.
Kumite- controlled fighting with a partner
Teaching emphasis: Initial lessons focus on students developing
the fundamental goju ryu blocking, striking and kicking methods
with an emphasis on natural movement and correct posture. By following
a structured syllabus, members are able to progress at a steady
rate which can be assessed and recognized.
The
school is for beginners and for students of other schools that
are still searching for answers and looking for a new perspective.
William's
is keen to teach the full breadth of the art, rather than concentrating
on 'sport karate' and its emphasis on strength. As members of
the dojo become more experienced they will be taught how to use
the pre arranged forms for self defense purposes.
