OPEN CLASSES

Karate transcends age, making it an ideal pursuit for every member of the family, from youngsters to elders. While karate training is an individual journey, our group classes allow each family member to advance at their own pace within the same engaging session.

At Doryoku Ryu, we recognise the value of family bonds and actively foster this through our family-friendly approach. We offer a special family discount to ensure that everyone can join in the enriching experience of karate training together.

In today's fast-paced world, family time is more precious than ever. With fluctuating work hours and demanding schedules, finding meaningful ways to connect has become essential. Karate provides a unique opportunity for parents and children to bond while pursuing a shared goal. Through the ranks, families progress together, celebrating achievements as a united force.

For our younger students, having a parent, guardian, or older family member alongside them can be a comforting and motivating experience. Conversely, supporting and training with a younger family member can serve as a compelling reason for adults to embark on their own karate journey. Countless adults have commenced their training in this very way, experiencing personal growth alongside their loved ones.
