Monday nights that make you feel good 🥊🥋

We kicked things off with UWE Women’s Kickboxing (5–6pm at Jump Studios), focusing on pad work and sharpening footwork to make striking powerful and effective from different distances.

Then it was straight into Women’s Karate (6.30–7.30pm at Bristol South Aikido Dojo), working on smooth combinations, applying them in pairs drills, and finishing with kata and a good stretch.

Strong bodies, focused minds, and a great way to start the week 💪✨

Last night we kicked things off with kihon, sharpening up the fundamentals and building strong technique from the ground up.

From there we moved into paired drills, this time keeping them free flowing rather than prescriptive. This approach encourages everyone to play to their strengths, adapt to the targets and opportunities that appear, and understand that there isn’t always a single “right” response to an attack. The focus is on awareness, timing, and confident decision making.

We wrapped up the session with kata, with small groups working together to support each other.

A Week at Bristol Women’s Karate 🥋✨

It’s been a full and inspiring week on the mats!

On Saturday I coached the first session of a 6 week self-protection course for a local community group. An amazing group of women who have sadly faced racial abuse. We focused on building confidence, awareness and a strong mindset, alongside practical skills in stance, attack and defence. Their courage and energy were incredible.

Monday brought a kickboxing session for UWE students, working power generation through padwork and sharper, stronger punches. Straight after was my women’s karate class, where we honed precision in our fundamental techniques and brought that to life in both padwork and kata.

Next up is our Friday morning women’s karate session, where we’ve been exploring breakfalls, close-quarters work including throwing techniques, and how to stay effective when the fight goes to the ground.

Add in the behind the scenes admin — replying to enquiries, making course bookings, keeping records up to date. Plus my own PT time and ongoing CPD, and that wraps up a pretty typical week here at Bristol Women’s Karate.

Empowering women. Building skills. Growing confidence. Every single week. 💪🥋✨

Consistency is where confidence is built.
Every time you step into class or practice at home, you’re sharpening your technique, your power, and your mindset. Our women’s karate classes are all about showing up for yourself, again and again, that’s where the real progress happens. 👊✨💜

We’ve been putting in some serious work lately to prepare for the next grading this Saturday! There’s been a big focus on getting the fundamentals right, when your technical skills are solid, speed and power naturally follow.

But learning the movements is only part of the journey. It’s just as important to understand them, the principles that make each technique effective. That’s why our classes are more than just a workout; they’re a study group. The process helps you tune in to your own body and discover how it really moves.

We all have that inner critic whispering “you’re not fit enough,” “you’ll look silly,” “you can’t do that.”

Spoiler: you can 💥

Karate for women — beginners, busy lives, zero experience needed.

Come and prove your inner critic wrong 😉
