​
I’m the founder of King’s Karate Club and also teach Karate in Schools as part of their after school activities and PPA.
I have over 40 years’ experience teaching Martial Arts which include Karate, Krav Maga, Thai Boxing, Jui Jitsu and Self-Protection to children of all ages. I also teach fitness, strength and conditioning classes. This has given me a good ability to pitch instructions at the right level and get the best out of individuals and teams.
I am DBS certified and have successfully completed the Safe Guarding children course.
​
I am also the Child Protection Officer for the Shindo Kai Karate Association. Duties include ensuring all karate instructors have the appropriate in date DBS Certificate (Full/Part). Assisting in the processing of the applications and dealing with any sensitive issues that rise during the application process.
Martial Arts are a great form of exercise which provides a whole body workout with an emphasis on balance, co-ordination and aerobic fitness.
​
The complex movements required also challenge the mind and fully engage the young student as they try and master the stances, blocks, punches and kicks, plus Japanese terms and language.
​
The key benefit, in many ways unique to karate is the code or ‘Do’. This promotes self-control, self-respect and respect for others. Importantly for head teachers and their staff, karate teaches non-violence and is anti-bullying.
​
I would be happy to a demonstration class at your school. Any child wishing to take part would just need their standard PE kit.
