You don't need a gi (karate uniform) to start. Please wear loose fitting clothes to your first session.
We teach both children and adults, aged 6+. There's no upper age limit. We recommend young children train alongside their parents for the first few sessions so they can build their confidence gradually.
Karate is a martial art and there are some risks involved. However, injuries rarely occur. JKA karate is non-contact and you won't be expected to fight until you've mastered the basics and we build up the level of fighting gradually, starting off slowly with known attacks to build up technique and confidence.
