COMBAT KARATE HUDDERSFIELD
Family Combat Karate class open to ages 9yrs to adult in Huddersfield
At Huddersfield Combat Karate we train SVT Knockdown Karate. SVT (Standing Vale Tudo) Knockdown is an old school ‘all in’ ‘Knockdown’ sport that combines Karate & JuJitsu. Our training comprises punches, kicks, throwing, submissions & some ground striking along with conditioning with its roots in the Kyokushin lineage of Karate. We emphasise ‘Karate-do’ should be a way of life not just a combat sport.
Join us at Huddersfield Combat Karate.
SVT Knockdown Karate is a freestyle knockdown Karate format based on old school Kyokushin rules open to all styles to enter. Regular competitors enter from Kakuto Karate, Gojo ryu Karate, Kudo and Kyokushin Karate amongst others.
At Huddersfield Combat Karate, Combat Karate is not only a sport or a means of self-defence, it is a complex path to personal development that combines physical exercise, mental discipline, and spiritual growth. The martial art as a whole requires not only strength and techniques but also deep inner balance, self-control, determination, and a very strong will. In Combat Karate, the body is used as an instrument of the spirit. After constant hard and long training, the physical transformation of athletes is connected with the inner development of the personality. The qualities each trainee acquires are fundamental for success in martial arts and all aspects of life.
