What types of martial arts does the Glynneath Karate offer?
Our club primarily focuses on teaching Wado Ryu Karate, a traditional Japanese martial art known for its emphasis on speed and evasion. We also offer training in self-defense techniques and kata from the style. One of our instructors is also a black belt in Ju-Jitsu.
What is Wado Ryu?
Wado Ryu translates to “Way of Harmony.” It emphasizes using an opponent’s energy and moving fluidly rather than relying on brute force. However, strength and power cannot be ignored due to style, so we practice for it.
