Information section

Learning a Japanese Budo can have an intimidating image, but it really shouldn't be. There are many rules and etiquette requirements that might seem a bit scary or confusing at first, but as long as you have a respectful attitude this won't be a problem and you will find that you settle in quickly. Please read all the information on this site first and if you think you would like to come and see what we do, or even have a go yourself, contact us and we will go from there. If you make mistakes or or do something wrong it is not a problem as long as you have the correct attitude, the attitude to learn, the attitude to not blame others, to be humble and respectful, then you will do very well.
