(c) BTKA
Washinkai Karate are committed to protecting children
Before letting your child join any club or group, or sending them on any other kind of organised activity these points should be kept in mind.

 

  • Talk to other parents about their experience of the group - are they confident their children are in safe hands?
  • Ask the staff and volunteers if they have been CRB checked and how long they have been involved with the club/group?
  • Ask the Police or Local Authority if they have any links with the group?
  • Is the club/group well-known in the local community? How long has it existed?
  • Is it known to local schools, churches, health centres, youth and community services?
  • Ask how many adults will supervise the children, will your child always be with other children and never left alone with an adult or adults?
  • What are the changing and toilet arrangements?
  • Does the group encourage parents to get involved?
  • Has the group produced a written policy which clearly states its commitment to protect the children in it's care from abuse?
    (c) BTKA
    An Established Syllabus Is Important!
  • Is it part of a bigger organisation with clear child protection rules?
  • Does it state the qualifications and responsibilities of staff and volunteers?
  • Is there a qualified first-aider on hand?

Kihon - Basics

Kihon is the basic techniques of karate, kicking, punching and blocking. These fundamentals of karate must be grasped before a student can advance in karate.

Many good karate-ka (student) quit at an early stage due to the repetitiveness of kihon, however, if you take onboard the attitude of the Japanese that a house can only be built on a solid foundation then kihon is extremely important.
