We offer group and private classes for children from the age of 4. We run a junior syllabus tailored specifically for children. There are ‘kids’ classes for children aged 4-7 and the ‘Cadets’ classes for children aged 8-15. The classes are split into beginners and advanced. There are no more than 12 children in a class.
There are a whole range of martial arts disciplines out there, but generally speaking they all encourage those things we often struggle to generate in children: physical health and agility, discipline and concentration.
With the concept of ‘goal attainment’ via the belt system at the heart of karate, the sport provides a useful way for children to focus on moving ‘up the ranks’ and the sense of satisfaction and self-fulfillment this brings, building a child’s self-esteem and confidence along the way and giving them experience in exam situations through their gradings.
Karate isn’t just about physical prowess – the sport is also about training the mind and spirit so children learn skills they can take into other areas of their life too; better concentration and reasoning skills, vital for academic success. Karate imparts invaluable physical skills, such as self-defense, which may help a child protect itself if they find themselves in a risky situation.
