We don’t stop exercising because we grow old. We grow old because we stop exercising.

What happens if you merge the fighting style of Karate with Aikido?

Mostly sore elbows, wrists and bruises where you wouldn’t think you can get bruises!

This is Master Crocker with his friend Master Jim Walker.

Did you know that Bruce Lee developed a martial arts called Jeet Kune Do (translated: Way of the Intercepting Fist). He would train in Jeans and a T-shirt as he correctly pointed out no one attacks you and waits for you to change into your Dobok. Jeet Kune Do heavily relies on fitness. Bruce Lee was from Hong Kong and there is a statue of him along the Harbour walk.

Thursday 5th September - Forget politics get training

Thursday Kids class 5.30 - 6.15 at Pannal Village Hall - entrance opposite the post office with Master Crocker. Bring your friends bring your sticks bring your enthusiasm. Parents can watch as long as they behave.

Master Walker is running 2 hours again at Roundhay 5 pm - 6 pm and 6 pm - 7 pm. Every class is a starter class. Time to train. It’s fine, you wont feel embarrassed because the non training parents aren’t going to be watching you they are going to join in too.

The first class is free for everyone and then we offer a voucher for 3 classes at £18 with a 4 class free.
