Our kids karate classes promote

Respect & Discipline

Respect and discipline are the most important parts of our karate training. At SAMA children are taught this from the very start. They are taught to line up in class, act on orders, concentrate, 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 true 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 40 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!

You do not need to be super fit and it is never to late to start your martial arts journey! Our adult and youths karate classes cost £7 per lesson PAY-AS-YOU-GO.
