Children’s Shotokan Karate Lessons

Designed with the modern generation in mind, our “Children’s Program ” is based on traditional Karate with modern teaching techniques. Our children’s programme is designed to develop early school-age children and provide them with success for life. Your child’s new educational programme will develop them mentally and physically, teaching easy and basic Martial Arts skills in a relaxed, safe and FUN environment.

Watch the increase in fitness, strength, balance, flexibility, confidence, and self-esteem to help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. They will become better students at a school, better listeners at home and more ambitious towards the future!

Your first lessons will typically consist of a simple warm-up and stretch, basic karate blocks, punched and kicks, simple fitness training, etiquette and safety talk. We separate the beginners from more experienced students. You won’t be expected to work on particularly challenging or complicated moves during your beginning lessons. The purpose of this is to give you a taste of karate and to see if you like it.

Our goal is to help your child grow into a respectable and confident young individual. We encourage all students to behave in a disciplined and respectful manner. Our instructors regularly communicate with parents regarding their child’s progress ensure each child reaches their full potential. While the predominant focus of karate is to develop character, students also learn basic self-defence skills. All instructors regularly promote that children MUST NOT misuse their karate under any circumstances.
