Sensei Tyers and his team aim to teach traditional karate for self-defence. They start with teaching simple blocks and strikes against a single opponent to build confidence and ability. As students progress, they learn techniques to defend themselves against multiple attackers from all directions. Advanced techniques, such as throws, grapples, and weapons, are also introduced.
Karate, as a martial art, focuses on striking techniques such as kicks and punches. The emphasis is on controlling the space between oneself and multiple opponents. Unlike combative martial arts, such as kickboxing or mixed martial arts, karate prefers the combat to take place at a distance.
The 3 Counties Shotokan Karate Club Mansfield is dedicated to preserving the art of traditional karate and helping students develop their skills and confidence. Whether you are looking to learn self-defence, improve your fitness, or participate in a friendly and disciplined sport, the club welcomes you to give them a try.
