Free Introduction to Karate for Mum's & Dads with Kids.
To Mums and Dads who struggle finding the time for regular exercise and find it difficult to find time for an exercise class to fit in with having children on a Saturday afternoon! Do you fancy an introduction to Karate and all the exercise benefits which comes with it? We might just have the solution for you, even if it is only a short term activity that gets you out and leads you onto something else – get out and come training. You will be made welcome! We can offer you the opportunity to come and try our class at 3:00-4:30pm (Saturdays only at the moment) and bring your children with you where you can keep an eye on them at the same time while you do your karate training. If your kids are older they are quite welcome to do the class with you if you or they wish.

One Style Many Directions.
All you have to do is to bring yourself training and what your child/ren needs to occupy them during the class and you can tend to them when necessary for things like toilet, drink or any problem etc. Everyone is in the same room and there is plenty of space to play if your children are of a younger age. Your first couple of weeks are free, so all you have to do is get there and give it a go and you will find that we are a friendly bunch and understand what it is like to have to fit in things around kids.
Single Parents; if you are a single parent and struggling to get out to get some exercise or join a group activity other than kid’s stuff, we think that this approach might work for you. Our Saturday class is looked after and taught by a single dad of two and often has to factor in his own children around the operation and success of the class and understands completely how difficult it just can be to work everything in to the week. The club will offer to any single parent the benefit of one month’s free training to see if our approach works for you. If you think that this approach and class is something in which you could be interested in please drop us a line via the email form at the bottom of this page. We look forward to meeting you soon, and folks… “Nothing ventured is nothing gained.”
How do you choose what style; whether it’s Karate, Ju-jitsu, Taekwondo, Judo, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Kung-fu or Karate-jitsu just to name a few different styles which you could be thinking about starting to learn and are not quite sure what is what or what separates one from another, our advice would be to try more than one class and make your own mind up to see what suits you.
