Adult Class

Adult / Teenager Classes

 

Hamilton Wado-Kai holds classes for Teenager and Adults on five days of the week. (See time table)

 

We have classes specifically for:                                                                                         

Beginner Classes

 

These classes are designed for members new to karate and up to yellow belt level.  In these classes members will learn the basic principles of  our style wado ryu.  Each class involves a basic warm-up and flexibility exercises which help to condition the body and build general fitness, followed by detail instruction to our basic movements and their applications.  These classes are important for new members to require a sound understanding of the basics before they can advance further in their grades

Intermediate Grade Classes

 

These are for the grades from orange to junior brown belts and the students follow a detailed syllabus for their relevant grade.  By following a structured syllabus the students will learn in a step-by-step fashion the techniques which they will be tested on to acquire their higher grades. Our syllabus is made up of:

 

  • Basics techniques (punches, kicks, throws, locks and body  shifting)
  • Kata (Forms and their application). These include single person kata as well as numerous two man kata.
  • Pre arranged pair work
  • Kumite ( Free Sparring)

(This is a very simplistic description of our syllabus and does not cover all the techniques that students learn or covers within the classes)

High Grade Classes                                                                                         (Top)

 

Here the highest grades will work together to improve their levels of karate within their own grade levels.  The training becomes more intense and the expectations of  their standard is higher.   

 

Kata Classes                                                                                                (Top)

 

These are specialized classes that focus on more detail instruction of the Kata (forms) from our style. Kata classes will cover solo kata and two person kata.

 

High Performance Sport Classes

 

These classes are divided into two main areas:

  1. Kata (form)
  2. Kumite (Sport Karate Sparring)

 

Both of these classes require higher levels of fitness and detail attention to technique which will give them the cutting edge within the tournament arena.  More information on sport karate and what is entails can be found from our club hand book. (Top)
