Classes

All beginners will be run through a 3 stage induction
The module is broken down into a 3 stage induction of Sanjuro basics that all new students will be taken through to ensure that they can safely and confidently participate in a class with the main body of students.

The Sanjuro foundation module is run on location in all Sanjuro martial arts classes so students will be able to go through it in the class they have chosen to participate in. Once they have completed the course they will have the foundations for understanding basic technique, enabling them to develop and build Sanjuro around their own personal needs and developing abilities.

Module criteria
This module introduces all new students to a step by step guide of the basic foundation principles and techniques used in Sanjuro martial arts.

Students must complete each stage (before moving on to the next) demonstrating they can perform the required techniques, safely, under control and with a clear understanding of their practical application.

A pre-exercise questionnaire form (PARQ) needs to be completed and handed to the instructor before commencement of the module. Once completed all students will be taken through basic preparation for a class including Sanjuro body conditioning and flexibility training.

Do I need to be fit or flexible?
We work with your current abilities and help to develop them at a pace that you’re comfortable with.

Will I get hit?
We focus on control during training but you do need to feel the power that can be generated with good technique so you will be hitting & holding
‘focus pads’ and ‘kick shields’ as part of your training.

As you progress you also have the option of non or light contact ‘Play’ (sparring).

Please inform your instructor of any injuries or problems that might affect your ability to train so that appropriate alternatives to various exercises and techniques can be given.
