𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀: 𝗘𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗞𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗻! 🥋💥 Kihon (basic techniques) is where the foundation of karate is built, and today our students focused on perfecting their elbow strikes! Here’s why elbow strikes are a crucial part of Kihon training: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: Kihon helps students refine the accuracy and control needed for powerful and effective elbow strikes. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁: Elbow strikes are perfect for close-range situations, making them an essential self-defence skill. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀: Repeating these strikes within Kihon drills strengthens technique and builds muscle memory for real applications. Every great karateka knows that mastery starts with mastering the basics. Keep training, and keep sharpening those elbow strikes! 👊 #dentokansouthampton #skmamartialarts #totton #gojuryukarate #kobujutsu...

FAQs

Am I too old to start martial arts training?

Never too old. You'll see that each person in our class goes at their own pace, and we respect that. Your safety & enjoyment is paramount to us. Remember age is just a number.

Will I get hurt during the training?

With any contact sport the possibility of over doing it or trying to hard or even not warming up correctly could heighten the risk of injury but at Poole Ju jitsu our instructors pride them self on running safe, fun class. All our instructors hold coaching qualifications which have set standards which we adhere to.

What are the health requirements?

If you've walked in to the gym, your half way there. As long as you can move then you can do Ju jitsu, even if your in a wheelchair. The benefits of increasing your movement, raising your heart rate will improve your overall health.

How much time is needed to learn Ju jitsu?

Depends on your own social life, We have many members who train every session, some once a week and a few who are on shift work and train every other week. Getting in to a regular training habit will eventually reap the rewards sooner.

I'm worried about Covid-19, what procedures have you in place?

We've always have had a very high standard of hygiene at Poole Ju jitsu and pride our-self on setting standards. The pandemic has hit everyone hard, been a physical contact & social sport we have had to put more safety measures in please. We've implemented even more stringent measures to excel government guidelines. So you and everyone can remain safe and have peace of mind while training at Poole Ju jitsu.
