Chi Rei Kai Karate

Hello my name is Mary and I have been practicing karate for over Ten years. I feel that Karate do (The way of Karate or a ‘Karate Lifestyle’) has helped me build my confidence in social situations and in life in general. The thing I like about Karate do most is that there is always more to learn and develop. To be a better version of yourself is a daily objective.

I achieved my Shodan in 2014 and my Nidan in 2018 and more recently acheived Sandan. My favourite kata is called Sochin and I really enjoy how grounded and solid it feels. I love teaching and I have a real sense of pride for the Students when they grasp the various concepts within Karate-do and I feel a great warmth when I realise that those Students are sharing the same admiration for Karate-do as I do.

Life is short so enjoy your journey for as long as it may be.
