Introduction

 

The word Karate means `empty hand` and, as this implies, does not involve the use of weapons. Children are taught how to punch, kick and block. Both physical and mental discipline is needed and, even from the age of five, children are taught the basic movements, concentration, right attitude and etiquette of Karate. It is stressed to all students that karate is for self defence only.

 

By learning karate, children may be able to improve reaction time, develop an awareness of what is going on around them and, perhaps most importantly, develop an awareness of their own power and gain confidence in themselves to act in potentially dangerous situations.

 

Pantha Karate Club instructors, Lloyd and Deirdre Wolfson, 6th Dan and 5th Dan, teach all the classes together.

 

The Pantha Karate club is affiliated to The International Association of Shotokan Karate (IASK), headed by Mr. N.B. Adamou, 8th Dan.
