I have done karate for over 10 years and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Sensei Watt is good at inspiring others and making you feel welcomed into the club. The people in the club are very welcoming too and will often help if you have a problem with some of the techniques or kata.

Unsafe. Painful abdomen and back after technique practice because they won't use pads during punching and kicking when they are needed and force stretches. They try and do everything so fast you can't learn. If you care about your health, safety and learning there are other clubs in Aberdeen. Karate should be done with gloves all the time. It's been a few months and my back still hurts. The karate club only teaches you punching, blocking and kicking but to defend yourself you need to learn more. It is too traditional to teach the most effective self defence in all situations including grappling.

Brilliant club. Great for adults and children. I've been going with my kids for years. The instructor is a legend in the Karate world. Recognised by the Queen, the Japanese Government and Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeen University. 50 years training Karate. You can go just to train and improve yourself or you can become an international competitor if you have the desire to win medals. I would recommend the club to anyone who wants to train real Karate. It's the thinking persons club. You are very safe here. Any nutters will shown the door right away. We all have jobs to go to the next day. :-)
