There is no maximum age to training. Keeping the body and mind healthy and focused is one of the key reasons training was developed. It is for all ages.

Injury managment is all about paying attention and being careful in the approach you take to your exercising. A mindful practitioner will use the injury to better understand how to make more of having less. Training can also provide a useful form of movement rehabilitation after injuries if the practitioner is careful and moves in the correct way.

Both Karate and Tai Chi Chuan classes typically involve a warm-up followed by a stretch. Then the key foundational elements of the style are practiced and the class, typically, ends with work on the form or Kata (prearranged movement sets) First time students are always given lots of help and support as they learn the basics of training. Karate classes tend to be more physically intensive (sweaty). Tai Chi Classes are more cerebral and require a lot of mindfulness.

If you’re dropping in for free week to try out some classes you can wear any comfortable exercise clothes you want. Tai Chi Chuan students may also wear any workout clothes they wish. Karate students (once they become a member of the Dojo) are required to wear gi’s (white martial art uniforms).

Dojo memberships are in either Karate or Tai Chi Chuan.

Students can train in any regular Karate or Tai Chi Chuan class on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. They can also join the Open Dojo class on Thursday evenings.

Family membership allows every member of a family to train in any of the regularly scheduled classes during the week.

Monthly fees are processed with the ZenPlanner Payment software. Payments can be made via all major credit cards (except American Express) or by bank account debits.
