Karate for Women in St Albans - first TWO lessons free
Special lessons for women only.
Beginners are very welcome at any time. Each lesson is tailored to the skill and experience of the class; beginning with a warm-up and stretching, we will practice basic techniques such as striking, punching, blocking an attack, and kicking (Kihon).
We will also learn "Kata", which is a sequence of techniques simulating defence against several opponents to a set pattern.
The lesson will conclude with warm down exercises.
