About

THE PRACTICE OF KARATE IS A CHALLENGE AND AT CMA KARATE WE MEET THAT CHALLENGE THROUGH OUR UNIQUE PROGRAM. The physical aspects of karate promote fitness, health, character and sportsmanship whilst challenging the mind to focus on the core values of respect, discipline, honesty & integrity. This allows our students to develop into valued members of society accountable for their own development and actions. Students of karate, known as karate-ka, are more likely to achieve well in education, work and in everyday life.

Our program covers the Wado Ryu system of karate which encompasses self defence, awareness, confidence, self control as well as focus and determination. The physical aspects of karate are critical but, without developing character, are meaningless.

Our karate classes are tailored for children, youths, and adults. We have classes for all ability levels, from beginner onwards and are goal based through our grading system. The challenges in the dojo are reflected in our grading procedures which are demanding yet achievable and rewarding. This encourages our students to set and realise their own personal goals and achieve their full potential.

All of our students are taught to extend their own ability. We do not ask the impossible but we do challenge them to fulfil their potential, which they will find is higher than they thought. We do this by maintaining a high standard of karate, which we never let slip, at CMA Karate we teach karate of quality not quantity.
