Karate For Beginners

TISKA Staines Shotokan Karate Club is one of many of TISKA's successful clubs and offers training sessions every Friday evening at Spelthorne Leisure Centre in Staines.

Staines club has a mix of grades from beginners up to 4th Dan Black Belts. Classes are run with children and adults together, making lessons suitable for individuals and families alike. Gradings are held regularly throughout the year, with students taking an exam to achieve their next grade. For many young students, this promotes self-confidence and a sense of achievement and motivation.

Additionally, students can participate in courses run by Shihan Sahota, and take part in an annual TISKA National Competition, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have learnt and developed through their training, and maybe win one of the many large trophies on offer.

Beginners' classes are available every week for people of all ages from 4 to 65. We also welcome individuals with previous karate or martial arts experience. Private tuition is available for those who may require additional training or wish to be trained individually.

The club instructor, Andrew Sebley, has been practising karate for over 20 years, and has won trophies at national competitions on many occasions.
