🥋 Peekaboo 👀⚡

A fun but challenging kumite drill — using the person in the middle as a shield, both fighters have to move around them, looking for the opportunity to pop out and score before their opponent can react.

It might be called “Peekaboo”, but there’s plenty going on! 😂

Both fighters are constantly reading their opponent, changing direction, reacting quickly and finding the right angle to attack — while being ready to defend when their opponent suddenly appears.

A great drill for developing reaction speed, footwork, awareness, timing and explosive attacks. 🥋💨

🥋 BUILDING BETTER KICKS 🦵

Monday’s class focused on developing the hip abductors alongside improving our kicking technique.

Strong, well-conditioned hips play an important role in Karate — helping students develop better balance, control, stability and power when kicking.

It’s not just about how high or hard you can kick. Good technique comes from developing the strength, mobility and body control needed to perform each movement properly. 👊

A great session building stronger foundations and more capable Karateka! 🔥

👏 Well done to our students who stepped up to perform Junro Nidan after just ONE lesson of practice! 🥋

A great example of having the confidence to give something a go, even when it’s still new. Plenty more practice to come, but a brilliant effort from everyone! 👏

🥋 A small favour from our JKS Clyde community

We’re asking all of our students, parents, families, friends and supporters if you could spare just a couple of minutes to help us out.

liveArgyll are currently asking local families what activities they would like to see included in future Holiday Camp programmes.

If you’re completing the survey, we would be incredibly grateful if you could request JKS Clyde Karate as an activity you’d like to see offered.

Support like this could help open the door to more opportunities for us to introduce children across the local area to Karate and continue growing our community.

Even if you’re not currently attending the club yourself, your response still helps demonstrate that there is genuine local interest in seeing Karate included.

A few minutes from lots of people can make a real difference, so thank you as always for getting behind JKS Clyde. 🥋

🥋 Empowering Women & Girls Through Sport 💪❤️

There’s something special about watching young girls grow in confidence through sport — and then seeing them use that confidence to lift up those coming behind them.

A brilliant example from the weekend as our Competition Team Captain and club role model Chloe Glover took the time to warm up and support Sophie Darroch before Sophie stepped onto the mat for her first ever competitive Kumite match. 🥊

For Sophie, it was a huge new experience. For Chloe, another opportunity to step up, lead by example and pass on some of the confidence she has developed through her own Karate journey.

This is what we want sport to give our girls — confidence, courage, friendships, opportunities and strong female role models. 🌟

One young athlete taking her first steps into competition, supported by another who is developing into a brilliant young leader within the club. ❤️

Not just building competitors.
Building strong, confident young women who support each other. 🥋🔥
