For adults, karate is a full body workout that uses every muscle group in your body. Stamina, muscle tone, flexibility, balance and strength will all improve as a result of practicing karate. As with all exercise, practicing karate improves your mood. Performing martial arts relieves stress by releasing endorphins which remain active in your body for up to four hours after exercise. The 5 guiding principles of Shotokan Karate are: • Seek perfection of character • Be Faithful • Endeavour • Respect others • Refrain from violent behaviour
