Energy training, Reiki and meditation, and practical self-defence for adults. Beginners of any age are welcome. Children’s karate is at karate.qa.
Adults of any age or fitness
Tai chi is a Chinese internal martial art practised as a sequence of slow, continuous movements. Each class builds posture, rooting and relaxed, connected movement.
It improves balance, joint mobility and breathing, and it is gentle enough for beginners and older adults.
Adults, and teens with a parent
Ki (in Chinese, qi) is the life energy that martial artists train to feel and direct. Our ki and qigong sessions combine breathing, standing postures, meditation and gentle movement.
Energy training is one of Sensei Najmal’s specialist areas, and it is the root of everything else we teach.
Adults of any age
Reiki is a quiet, hands-on Japanese energy practice. Sessions are calm and restful, with time to breathe, settle and relax deeply.
Sensei Najmal holds Reiki Level 3 and offers both Reiki sessions and Reiki training for students who want to learn the practice themselves.
Adults of any age
Awakening starts with the breath. These sessions combine seated meditation, breathing practice and slow, mindful movement drawn from qigong and the martial arts.
The aim is simple: to feel more present, calm and aware in daily life.
Teens and adults
Our self-defence sessions focus on what works outside the dojo: awareness, keeping your distance, escaping grabs and simple, effective strikes.
We train for real situations rather than competition rules, so you leave with skills you can actually use.
Adults
Systema trains you to stay relaxed under pressure. Classes cover breathing, movement, falling safely and dealing with strikes and grabs, taught by a certified Systema coach.
There are no set forms. Drills build up gradually, so you can start at any fitness level.
Teens and adults
Aikido means “the way of harmonising ki”. Instead of meeting force with force, you learn to move off the line of attack and redirect it with throws and joint locks.
Students learn ukemi (safe falling and rolling) from the first class, so training is safe for beginners.
Adults
Yoga sessions improve flexibility and core strength and teach breath control.
Many of our students use yoga to recover and to move more freely.
Adults, at your own pace
Conditioning is built into every programme: strength and stamina work, stretching, tumbling and rolls.
It keeps you strong and mobile and makes every technique work better.
Wheelchair users of all ages
Wheelchair karate follows the same etiquette and technique as our standing classes, adapted so it can be trained seated.
Message us about access at your nearest location before your first class.
Children from age 4, teens and adults
Children train in Shotokan, the most widely practised style of Japanese karate, and adults can also train in Shito-ryu. Every class works on kihon (basics), kata (forms) and kumite (sparring).
Students grade through the kyu belts towards black belt, following the Japanese syllabus of JKS Shotojuku.
