Martial Arts

Martial art is a type of sport that you can use to defend yourself. I started karate a few years ago and I am now a red belt (see list below).

In my karate, we first have a warm up if you are with the sensei. I suggest to go on Wednesdays at 6pm to 7pm to get a very kind teacher. After warming up, we normally practice our moves. Then, we start to practice our katar (a set of moves for each belt) one by one.

If you are interested in this then, go to Vale Farm Sports Centre and follow the signs to the dojo. In your first few lessons you can wear other clothes than the actual uniform. When you go to competitions you can win awards and trophies.

All of the belts in order (my karate):.
