Karate Kids
Aimed at ages 7 and above, Karate Kids develops skills with regular gradings to motivate the students.
However, the main focus is on self improvement and development. We aim to nurture confident children who possess self-control, confidence and a positive mental attitude that empowers them to set their goals high and persevere to achieve them.
This is an individual journey and no comparisons are made. It’s all about enabling our students to progress in their own time and at their own pace.
TEAMWORK & SOCIAL SKILLS
Our group activities help kids become an effective team player.
EXERCISE & FITNESS
Karate is great for cardiovascular fitness, muscle toning and core strength.
HEALTHY HABITS FOR LIFE
We instil habits that help children stay healthy now and in the future.
GOALS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Working towards belt gradings shows kids how to set and work towards their goals. It creates a spirit of hard work and tenacity, not to mention a sense of achievement at the end of it all.
A FOCUSED MIND
Learning the various physical and mental elements required to master karate develops focus and self-control. This is a useful skill for all kids to learn, and can be especially valuable to those who struggle with concentration, impulsiveness and hyperactivity.
LISTENING & RESPECT
Respect is a fundamental part of learning karate and can be beneficial in embedding good listening skills that will be useful for your child wherever they are.
TRAINING FEES
For the Kids, Adults and Family Classes, we operate a pay-monthly system with a pay-as-you-go feel. You choose how often you would like to train and select your relevant payment plan. If you are ever unable to make one or more of your paid for classes, you can attend any other suitable class, one week either side of your missed class.
Training fees are paid monthly by direct debit and can be set up with a debit card at the dojo after your initial trial period.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Not at all! We provide a warm welcome for kids of all abilities, from beginners through to those with more experience. Our ethos of team working means everyone looks out for each other, with somebody always on hand to offer guidance and support to newcomers.
While we do teach fundamentals such as focus and self control, we also have lots of fun. Our aim is to make our classes inclusive and enjoyable for everyone, and to create positive experiences for everyone on our karate programmes.
No, we welcome boys and girls of all fitness levels, with a focus on having fun and developing at a pace that suits your fitness and abilities.
While karate involves an element of self-defence and our classes do include some sparring drills, we discourage our students to view it as ‘fighting’. As with any sport, there is the potential for injury but our instructors are well trained to ensure that everyone learns safely and at their own pace.
For safety reasons and to help establish independence and confidence among the kids in our classes, we do not allow parents and carers to watch the sessions. However, we have a live link to a screen in the waiting area that you are welcome to view. Or why not consider joining in? We run Family Classes where you can take part in our karate classes with your child.
We offer month-to-month memberships, as well as savings on longer plans.
