Kids Karate
We currently run over 50 seperate children's karate classes across our areas spanning from Eastbourne to Battle. Taken by fully qualified instructors with many years of experience our classes are held straight after school, evening and weekends giving parents flexibility and choice.
Our weekday straight after school classes last for 45 minutes. Our evening and weekend classes last for 45 minutes for beginners, increasing to 1 hour once children pass their first belt (red belt). We normally take children from 4 years up depending on the individual child.
Our kids karate classes are £5 per lesson PAY-AS-YOU-GO, so this means if your children don't attend for any reason you don't pay! Compare all this to many other martial arts groups and children's activities and you may be surprised!
Our kids karate classes promote
Respect & Discipline
Respect and discipline are the most important parts of our karate training. At SAMA children learn this from the very start. They are taught to line up in class, act on orders, learn to behave, control their anger and control their techniques. They also learn that karate is not to be used to hurt people at school or outside.
Confidence
Mixing with other children in class decreases parent separation anxiety and helps children gain more confidence. In time we find that many children start to build confidence in themselves helping them at school and with their social skills.
Self-defence
Our students are taught that karate is only to be used as a means of self protection. The philosophy of karate is that the first move starts with a defensive one not an attack.
Co-ordination
SAMA karate classes are great for helping children improve their all round co-ordination.
Healthy Exercise
Our special exercise programme, developed from over 30 years of teaching helps children build a healthy body for the future. Benefits include: strong bones, muscle strength and improved fitness.
Adult & Youths Karate
We base our karate on the older traditional roots of Chinese philosophy and Okinawan karate. Etiquette, health, self-defence and discipline of body, mind & spirit are important factors within our training.
The style we teach is Wado-Ryu karate. The philosophy of Traditional Karate to strengthen the spirit and train the heart, mind and body to never give up!
