At Colchester Karate Academy you are never too old to start learning karate. We believe in what Henry Ford said that “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”
Our Adult Classes caters for those 15 years and over and our oldest student currently is not far from 60. We have had students in their mid seventies in the past who managed perfectly well with the syllabus.
Classes are catered towards individual need and expectation and, whilst we generally teach the traditional UKTKF syllabus in these classes, we will occasionally add elements from other styles or types of martial arts and self-defence.
Many of our adult students are currently also parents of juniors in our club. We therefore arranged a facility where children can remain on the premises whilst adults train. For health and safety, this facility, behind safety glass room within full view of the training hall, are limited in the number of children allowed to remain on the premises whilst their parents are training.
As a result of the increase in parents wishing to train we are in negotiations with the owner of Go Bananas regarding child care facilities for our day time classes. These are anticipated to start in January 2010. We are also in negotiations with approved child carers to provide child care on our premises whilst we teach in the event the minimum number of children (8) are exceeded. For this a booking system will be implement in January 2010 where parents will have to book their children in to the care facility at least 48 hours in advance. More information on this in due course.
