Socks & Shoes Off is a gentle, heartwarming documentary about Tora Black Belt Academy. An unusual karate club in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, run by a formidable yet inspiring woman, who encourages everyone from toddlers to grannies to take their socks and shoes off and learn karate together.


Put the kettle on, make a cup of tea, then curl up on the sofa and spend an hour with the empowering Trieda, her team of massively motivated Mum's & Dad's, and their troop of amazingly awesome kids.

Starring the many members of Tora Black Belt Academy
