We recommend that all participants are over the age of six. However, at our discretion anybody younger may join in so long as a parent / guardian is there throughout. Beyond that, there is No Age Limit! The whole family can join in and train together. No matter what your ability is, there is always something to take away.

Karate has been proven to boost the mental ability of children, and prevents the deterioration of memory in adulthood. So not only will you learn new skills, including Self Defence, but you will feel smarter, fitter, and more relaxed too.

What will you need?

Before beginning any class we require that you fill out a Physical Activity Readiness Form for each participant and send it back to James via email or our Facebook Page (EmpoweringPT). Without this you will be unable to join in, and a refund will not be offered for the missed class.
Other than that we recommend that you wear loose clothing (or a Gi if you have one), and have a bottle of water nearby.

Been looking for a suitable class in the area for my own fitness. Having been a coach myself, ones own fitness takes a... back seat. I have looked at many Gym classes over the years and always found them to be more about the speed rather than the technique and often questionnable methods and styles. So was glad to have stumbled on James Classes. from day one he was guiding the class on technique and form. Clearly years of experience rather than weekend courses which plague modern gyms these days. Would recommend James classes. May even try out some of his others when I find the timeread more

James listens and takes on board any niggles you have. He will work hard to help you correct your technique or give you... ideas to help strengthen your weak spots at home. I attended a Balance Class that he was asked to cover (he was given literally 5 minutes to plan it) with lower back pain and by the end it had eased massively. Everyone needs a James in their fitness journey so that you can improve your fitness without causing yourself injury. Thanks for all your help James.read more

Thank you James for getting an unfit 50 something strong enough to manage a short triathlon. You have been patient and... realistic with setting goals for training and working on areas needed specifically for the triathlon. I would recommend James to anyone wanting a personal trainer.read more

I’ve been going to James’s classes for just under a year and my strength and fitness has massively improved. James... constantly switches things up with different exercises getting us to really challenge ourselves. He’s always on hand to help with technique and offers different variations of exercises if needed. Can’t recommend James enough!read more

I go to a couple of James’s classes and always leave feeling totally broken - it’s a good thing. James adapts his... classes by asking us what we would like to get out of it and always gives us plenty of variety and a complete workout. He’s on hand for advise as well and is genially knowledgable in this field. He’s not the instructor to get his own workout in the class but will actually guide and assist �read more

My daughter took part in a one to one karate session today with James. He was patient, fun and he is extremely talented... at what he does. She has improved technically in just one session and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone.read more

James has been my personal trainer for the past year and has been consistently excellent: his technical knowledge,... which he shares with me along the way, is brilliant and he is focused on long term goals (including strength, power, endurance and condition), whilst making sure that each individual session is well structured, varied, challenging and pushes my limits. Additionally, he is always flexible around my schedule/lifestyle - even helping me to maintain fitness during travelling with a backpacking-friendly workout. Could not recommend James any more!!read more

I fully recommend trying one of James' self defence courses. They are well structured, tailored to the group of people... that attend, very informative and hugely enjoyable. People of any age, fitness or ability can attend and be completely at ease. I persuaded my husband to come with me and although he was reluctant in the beginning he enjoyed it so much we signed up for another course as soon as the first one ended! I will certainly be taking my daughters to his classes now that he runs junior courses so that they can also learn sensible strategies to avoid potentially dangerous situations while having a LOT of fun at the same time.read more
