Wado Ryu Karate helping children at Mae’s School
Director of Mae’s Primary School Mayglen Charles says Karate administered at her school twice weekly has aided in the all round development of the children who attend the classes.
In an interview on Wednesday, Mrs. Charles said the Dojo has grown over the months and she is very pleased with the children who seem to be more relaxed and disciplined in classes.
According to the Director some students may seem restless and she observed the exercise is helping them to become settled.
President of the Guyana Wado Ryu Karate Association Sensei Darren Nurse said the Mae’s Dojo started two and a half years ago and he is encouraging the secondary school students to join the classes. Over the years the primary school students would attend the classes but the same could not be said for the secondary students.
Sensei Nurse further stated that the GWKA currently has four Dojo’s located at Banks DIH, Mse’s, Tuschen, and Eccles and the association is seeking to increase the number of Karatekas while building Dojo’s in other regions.
He is also encouraging interested persons to Contact the association or visit one of the GWKA Dojo’s.
The young Karatekas were excited and are encouraging their peers to join the classes.
They said that involvement in the programme has improved on their discipline and some even felt that their involvement has helped them to stay out of trouble.
