We are starting weekly online karate classes from the 3rd of August 2024: email dojo@ to get added to the sign-up list. Don’t let the makiwara intimidate you - we’re here to teach you how to punch the makiwara safely and get the most out of your training. Ideal for those new to makiwara and hojo undo, with explainer notes throughout. For old friends of the channel, we hope you’ll enjoy the bit of dojo history we’ve added as well.
Stay tuned to the end for a glimpse of our new DWYSS range!
