Karate training at SMMA
Is karate effective? Read here for my opinion
The style of Karate studied at SMMA is based upon Goju-ryu but is not a formalised, robotic practice that you may find in karate schools. Goju-ryu is renowned for its conditioning and practical close quarter fighting, although at SMMA we utilise the long range techniques of Goju-ryu and resort to the close range principles of Wing Chun when the distance is closed.
For Karate training we wear the SMMA uniform as opposed to a karate gi, giving training a realistic feel to it.
