For those new to karate and martial arts we hold beginners classes on Tuesday evenings. This practice is orientated towards beginners to give them the basic skills before joining the other classes. If however you have difficulty attending on a Tuesday beginners can be easily incorporated into any of our other classes. It is our experience that beginners can sometimes feel awkward practicing with more experienced higher grades, so we have made Tuesday a night for them to learn the basics and reach a level where they do not feel out of place.
As a club, from instructors down we welcome beginners to any practice. But we recognise that some people prefer to practice with other beginners till they become more competent in the basic skills.
Our Tuesday beginners class is at Kyle Academy, off Holmston Road, Ayr. 7.30-9.30pm in the small gym. Please feel free to just turn up, or give us a call first. You are more than welcome to come along to any of our practices to watch and ask any questions you may have. We will be happy to give you any information you require and demonstrate what we are about.
