Why train during the day
An hour in the dojo, made for you
While most people are at their desks, our daytime class is training. Here’s what our daytime students tell us they enjoy.
Fits around your life
After school drop-off, between shifts, on a day off or in retirement.
Room to learn
A relaxed pace, with time to ask questions and get things right.
Back to your day by 10:30
Head back into your day feeling awake and clear-headed.
Calm & clear
An hour where nothing matters but what’s in front of you.
Fitter over time
Strength, flexibility, balance and real self-defence skills build with practice, at your own pace.
A friendly daytime crew
People who know your name, and are glad you came.
Who it suits
Come as you are.
Our daytime class suits all kinds of lives. If one of these sounds like you, you’d be very welcome.

In their words
What our students say
Questions
Questions daytime students ask
Anything else you’d like to know? Give us a call, we’re happy to help.
Do I need any experience?
No. Most of our students started as complete beginners, and every class is adapted to where you’re at.
Do I need to get fit before I start?
No. Fitness, strength and flexibility are things karate builds over time. You go at your own pace.
I’ve been meaning to start something for years. Is it too late?
Not at all. Many of our students say the hardest part was walking in the door the first time. After that, you’ll be welcomed and looked after.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable clothes like a t-shirt and track pants, and a water bottle. We train in bare feet.
Can I fit it in between school drop-off and pick-up?
Yes. Class runs 9:30–10:30am, so there’s plenty of time either side.
My shifts change. Can I come on different days?
Yes. Come on Tuesday, Thursday or both, whichever suits your week.
Can a friend or my partner start with me?
Yes. You can both book a free trial lesson in the same booking.
