Active40 Karate Program

This program is geared to adults over 40 years old (or those who feel more comfortable working in this age group.

The classes consist of warm ups and physical fitness, karate basics, Pad work, Self Defence and Kata (pre arranged movements). The fundamentals will follow Shito Ryu Karate, and the self defence and pad work will follow the typical Burnaby Karate Academy curriculum. This class will keep you fit regardless of your fitness level, with adapted exercises when necessary. Unlike the high performance programs, there will be little emphasis on live sparring. Students in this program often engage in recreational activities such as hikes lead by one of our instructors.
