OKKO Karate Jutsu

Ladies Only Karate Sessions

The Ladies Only Karate classes have now been in full swing for nearly 9 months now, now although the classes are very small in attendance the Ladies that attend do so nearly every week without fail,the classes originally began as a 10 week Self Defence course, now 9 months later it has become a fully functional Karate class. the Big difference between the OKKO Ladies Karate and the run of the mill Karate classes will be explained through this write up.

The OKKO Karate Ladies classes are held every Thursday at the Wychbold Village Hall, Wychbold, from 7.30pm - 8.30pm at the cost of just £4.50. We invite any lady from the age of 15 upwards to attend the classes, i promise you wont be dissapointed.

OKKO Ladies Karate is the only Karate System that deals solely with Self Defence, the Grading structure is worked up from 9 kyu Grades starting with Red Belt all the way through to Black Belt, the System of Karate is called M.E.M.E or Minimum Effort Maximum Effect, The Ladies DO NOT have to take part in Grading Exams or tests, all belts are awarded both on what the Ladies have learned and also putting all techniques to work within a live exercise (against the OKKO Instructors). also the Gradings are completely Free Of Charge.

A typical lesson will consist of a 10 minute warm up consisting of 5 minute Cardio Vascular may include skipping using the ropes provided, a light stretch up, and then straight into the lesson of Pure Self Defence, Ladies are taught about Awareness, the Dangers of Physical Violence, how to avoid Violent situations, Verbal and non Verbal De-Escalation, and finally how to Kick A** should they need to do so, (both myself and my Instructors bare the battle scars of having a good beating from the ladies).

So what you waiting for? leave the kids with Dad for an hour, meet new people in a very friendly environment, Have loads of Fun, Get Fit, and learn Self Protection skills that really could Save your life. Beat the Credit Crunch cancel that huge Gym subscription being taken from your bank account every month, you know the one that see`s very little use, and attend OKKO Ladies Karate classes for only £4.50 a session.

The only thing we must insist on due to the Law is that after the Fourth week of attendance, All Ladies must purchase a Licence, this is your 12 months of Insurance and also a record of your Grading.

We look forward to seeing you in 2009.
