Mighty Samurai Program
Made specifically for four to six year olds!
We know that this age group grow and develop every day. They explore their surroundings with curiosity and wonder. It’s an age level characterised by children wanting to try new things for themselves which is why a Martial Arts program that introduces them to early skill-based training will be exceedingly beneficial to their growth and development.
By providing four to six year olds with their own program we can target their growth and development in a way that is exciting and prepares them for success in Karate, school and life.
Mighty Samurais will kick start your child’s further growth and development in a positive, fun, games sense atmosphere.
Junior Program - 7yo upwards
In our junior karate program we focus on incorporating karate skills into a holistic approach to self defence and personal development.
We also teach the children a range of techniques to cope with bullying. These include being environmentally aware, giving the student verbal tools to deal with bullies, right up to hands on self defence.
The results from our Junior program are amazing, with benefits ranging from confidence, to fitness and health, friendship and goal setting.
Once students have reached their blue belt they are able to join our junior leadership team and further develop their confidence and teamwork through public speaking, initiative games and learning how to become an excellent coach.
