Enfield Adult Karate Training

Enfield JSK, which used to be at Bullsmoor Lane is one of the countries oldest established karate clubs, and has been teaching karate for over 30 years. Practically everyone teaching karate in the area has been through it's doors at one time or another.

The Club has a friendly atmosphere and students are encouraged to ask questions. The sessions are run by sensei Paul Shephard 6th dan and sensei Barry Shearer 7th dan. The club runs beginners courses for both men and women of all ages (the current age range of the class is 16-63 yrs), and also welcomes more advanced karateka of any style who wish to advance their knowledge of karate-do.

Dan Grading November 2009

Adult classes run for the traditional 90 minutes. Karate training will improve fitness, self confidence and overall well-being. In today's high stress environment more and more people are training to help them cope with the pressures of everyday life as well as the self defence benefits. The new student will begin with learning basic techniques (punching, kicking, blocking) and stances, before moving on to pre-arranged sparring (kumite) and solo drills (kata).

The student will then progress to learning advanced self defence applications in two person and solo drills, which are presented in a safe, effective and non-competitive way. We believe that through a combination of physical training and personal introspection, correctly taught karate training can bring out the best in everyone and help them to achieve their goals in life.
