FIGHTSPUR KARATE
In popular culture, Freestyle Karate is a general term used to describe karate styles that do not fall into one of the many traditional branches. The style of karate practiced in our school therefore falls under this umbrella term.
Classes at FightSpur combines principles of both point-fighting sport karate and kickboxing. It incorporates sport karate's iconic long range attacks, distance control and footwork, with kickboxing's long combinations and inside fighting. This is a holistic system optimised for self-defence and competitive fighting.
The style is based on realism and practicality. Replacing the traditional training methods of kata, kihon and kumite, with a more modern approach, using shadowboxing, pad work, partner drills, agility training and sparring as its primary training methods.
The belt system in FightSpur is unique in karate. Promotions are based solely on performance and competency, and given when the instructors observe that a student is ready for the next rank. The belts are also held to an extremely high level of skill, with a black belt taking roughly 10-12 years of training multiple times a week.
