Our classes are designed for people who want to practice a martial art in a family friendly environment without all the macho aggression usually associated with karate. Our students learn more than just how to kick and punch, they learn self-discipline, etiquette and respect, which can help them develop into better individuals. Our system is suitable for the whole family enabling you to spend some quality time together, having fun and keeping fit in a safe, friendly environment with like-minded individuals.

By engaging in a group activity the children learn important social skills and by performing in front of each other their confidence grows at an unbelievable rate. The classes are taught in a relaxed but disciplined manner with the emphasis on having fun. The younger children play games which help improve their motor skills such as running, jumping & hopping which require balance & co-ordination while the older children's activities encourage skills such as teamwork & co-operation.
