The Martial arts - Karate at Gurukulam

As reported by our Principal:

Gurukulam initiated martial arts training for their students right from 2004, which is now increasingly widespread in contemporary society. 

Its practice is carried out in different environments and levels of specialization. 

In physical education, they are considered an important part of the bodily culture of movement. The main theme of incorporating the martial arts is to help in the preparation of school students, physical education teachers, considering the possible actions of martial arts. 

The proposal aims to assist and base the pedagogical practice for teachers and students who do not have specialized knowledge in these modalities.  This Karate coaching will definitely encourage the new perceptions for the creation of a safe and motivating environment, enabling the development of students and favoring sports engagement with positive experiences in sports initiation.
