Karate Programmes

We have found the Martial Arts to be extremely beneficial to pre-schoolers and have devised this age-specific programme to enhance basic skills such as co-ordination, balance and control.

This programme is totally non-combative so there is no need to worry about your little ninjas' safety. Instead, we concentrate on basic motor-skills and of course, those important social skills such as respect and etiquette.

Because reward and recognition play such an important part in a young childs development, we here at Samura Martial Arts employ a merit badge system of reward which generates great enthusiasm which creates a great sense of achievement, vital to building self confidence and belief.

The programme is ideal for the 3 ½ to 5 years of age group.

Our Karate Kid programme is by far our most popular, making up nearly 70% of our membership. This is because not only does it benefit their physical and mental development, it's great fun!

Kids today, if not entertained, they are not impressed so we, here at Samurai Martial Arts work very hard to teach our younger members in a safe and informative manner, but always with fun and enthusiasm to ensure we get the best results from them at all times.

Regular belt tests ensure they are always working toward achievable goals, each one another step toward their black belt.

This programme is structured and progressive with greater emphasis of respect and etiquette and is ideally suited for ages 5½ to 10 years old.

People of all ages from 4 to 64 can benefit from the Martial Arts but not all age groups want the same thing from their training.

Our Adult programme adds a more realistic self-defence element as well as higher degrees of fitness training.  This combines to give a great all-over body workout that can pack a punch both on a bag or on the street!

Don't worry, you won't be free-sparring straight away, your first years training will be a slow build up.  We will improve your fitness levels and tone your muscle, develop your coordination and balance.  Only after these goals have been achieved will you be gently introduced to sparring and then only under strict supervision.

For sport, fitness and self-defence, choose Samurai...
