All Grades Training , 20th March 2021 – Zoom

Karate Fit – All welcome

Karate Fit is a fun new Zoom class run by Sensei Pete for all age groups and abilities designed to improve your general fitness and mobility.

Sports kit is recommended but any loose fitting clothing, even pyjamas, will do. You do not require any previous karate experience to have a go nor do you need to be a member of Wessex Karate Academy (WKA), although there is a small fee if you’re not a member. Please contact Sensei Pete for more information.

Testimonials:

“Fantastic way to start your day – thoroughly recommended. An intense work-out guided by the super enthusiastic and smiley Sensei Pete!” – Dave.

All classes move to Zoom

Given the recent Stay At Home announcement all classes will now move to Zoom. A timetable will be published shortly but the first Zoom class will be the adult’s class tonight at 8pm.

Sensei Pete:

“Dust off your tablets, clear the living room space, we are back on Zoom!

There will be an adult class tonight at 8pm. I will then work out a timetable for lockdown, sticking loosely to the current class timetable. You should not need to re-register but do check you have the latest update if you haven’t used it for a few months. If you have not used zoom before, click on the link, register your email and log on tonight about 7.50pm. See you there!

I know for many zoom classes are not ideal but we need to keep our training and technique skills up and stay positive that this is our last full lockdown and then we can get back to the dojo ready to improve further.”

Dorchester and Adult classes cancelled – New Open Mat Session for solo training.

Due to Dorchester and Weymouth moving into tier 3 restrictions all adult group classes have been cancelled until further notice. Also, since the Dorchester Yoga centre is temporarily closing all Dorchester classes are also cancelled.

However, whilst adult group training is not permitted you are allowed to visit the Weymouth gym and train independently. If you wish to train at the gym please book the ‘Open mat session’.

The junior classes (under 18) in Weymouth are still available, including a new Cadet class (14+), so please book.

Covid-19: Virtual training
