ABOUT AEROSTRIKE™ FREESTYLE KARATE & KICKBOXING

		Aerostrike™ Combat Programs have created a contemporary free-style martial arts program, combining the traditional values of Karate and the Martial Arts, for adults, youth and children. The Aerostrike™ Karate program helps to develop the mind and body; to learn and develop skills that will only be used in self-defence and in the defence of others. The program also promotes health and personal development. The Aerostrike™ Karate program believes that it is important to instill in students the values of respect, courage and self-control. The aim of training in Aerostrike's™ Free-Style Karate program is to develop a complete person, all three aspects of 'mind', 'technique' and 'body' are trained together.	EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE!! COMPLIMENTARY FIRST LESSON
		As the student progresses all three aspects should develop in harmony. Students are assisted by Sensei Stavros and the team of fully qualified instructors, to develop their full potential.
