KARATE IS OUR PASSION
Tenshi-Do Martial Arts Karate School & Agility Centre is aimed at teaching anyone who wants to gain self-confidence, self-discipline and self-defence skills.
The style of Martial Art is called Shito-Ryu Karate-do. It is one of the 4 main styles to come form Okinawa Japan, and the one made famous by "the karate kid" in the 80's.
The syllabus that has been created has adapted a practical sense to today's society.
The kid's classes enhance their gymnastics skills to better defend themselves from bullies and falls in the playground, while the adult classes adapts a more traditional side, encouraging self-awareness and self-confidence.
