Beginners and Advanced Students
Beginners and advanced students are welcome at all classes.
To help new students learn the basics and feel relaxed, we pair you with one of our experienced students during your first few weeks.
This helps beginners to build their skills, confidence and then progress to additional training when they feel confident in the basics.
Kids Karate
A typical class starts with a warmup and stretches followed by some karate. You’ll learn a variety of punching, kicking and self-defence techniques which have been organised into a kata. A kata is a combination of self-defence moves put together into a sequence to make them easy to learn. Each different coloured belt will learn a different kata and this series of moves are practised and form part of gradings.
Kids Kickboxing
Sparring is a crucial part of learning self-defence as this allows participants to learn, apply and refine self-defence techniques in one on one, or group settings. Kickboxing is an excellent way to gain reality-based fighting experience in a controlled and safe setting. We wear boxing gloves/soft mitts and padded shin protectors for maximum safety and use light contact.
Kids Self-defence and Jujitsu
After a few rounds of kickboxing, we then move to the mat for self-defence and Jujitsu. Here we cover a range of different attacks and defensive combinations. Children are taught an array of different throws, blocks, break falls (safe ways to fall), joint and wrist locks and other self-defence methods aimed at protecting themselves and neutralising the threat from one or multiple attackers.
All-Inclusive Kids Martial Arts Classes
Our kids’ martial arts classes are all-inclusive, so we take children of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Our instructors work with children so they can learn at their own pace and feel confident and in control. Learning martial arts is more than just self-defence, our classes help build confidence, self-control, respect, discipline and resilience which are great all-round life skills.
Martial Arts Uniforms & Equipment
A stylish black uniform is included as part of your initial membership fee. After this you will need either soft mitts or boxing gloves along with shin guards or shin instep protectors and a mouthguard to participate in kickboxing sparring sessions. We sell all this equipment along with uniforms, belts, eskrima sticks, bokken and saya (wooden sword and sheath) at heavily discounted prices for club members.

Private Tutoring – Martial Arts – Kids and adults?
We support all our students in achieving their goals and offer highly competitive prices on private martial arts training. You do not need to attend our regular classes to access private tutoring.
