Welcome to June’s Kickstarter series! We’re kicking things off with the foundation of all karate strikes: the Mae Geri (Front Kick). It’s all about precision, efficient movement, and control to make every kick count. Some basic points for you to practice at home.

Let me know how you get on!

See you on the mat

This months Kids benefit break down is on Resilience!

Progress takes time in karate. Not every technique works immediately, and not every grading comes easily — but students learn to keep trying, stay calm under pressure, and improve through practice.

Over time, this helps children become more resilient, more patient with themselves, and more confident tackling challenges both inside and outside the dojo.
