How dangerous is Karate practise?
A. Accidents can happen in any sport, but there is probably more chance of you being injured playing football, rugby or some other sport than when practising Karate. Remember you will not be asked to do anything outwith your capabilities. Everyone has to start somewhere and it will take a few weeks to begin to develop your coordination and balance before you will be allowed to try anything too difficult. Learning the basics takes time and there is no shortcut to regular practise. You should find that training within a structured class with students of a similar level of experience under the watchful eye of a qualified Karate instructor is completely safe.
