Father’s Day Fun at Shotokan Karate Ryu: Dads and Kids Learn Karate Together

The Shotokan Karate Ryu celebrated Father’s Day this year in a special way inviting fathers to join their children for a free karate lesson, and it was a great success!

The fathers and their children arrived on Sunday morning, excited to share this experience together. The lesson started with some warm-up exercises, and then moved on to learning some new karate moves. The fathers were just as enthusiastic as the children, and it was heartwarming to see them all working together.

After the lesson, fathers were asked for their thoughts on the experience. One father said, “Thank you for the lesson. I am amazed at how much is involved. It was a great experience”. It was clear that the fathers enjoyed the lesson just as much as their children did.

The Shotokan Karate Ryu has been teaching traditional Karate in Bishops Stortford and Stansted for over 20 years, and believes that karate is more than just a physical activity. It teaches discipline, respect, and self-confidence. Sensei Donna, 5th Dan, commented “it was wonderful to see the fathers and their children learning together”

Thank you to all the fathers who joined us for this special event. We hope you had a great time and that you will continue to support your children in their karate journey. And to all the mothers out there, don’t worry, we have something special planned for you too!”.
