Karate classes for Children
who have trained in martial arts before
If your child(ren) trained in a martial art (whether Karate or something different) previously and gave-up, or are still training elsewhere but are looking for somewhere new to train for whatever reason, why not bring them to us and see if we can re-ignite their passion?
Our Karate classes strike a good balance between fun and discipline, and we encourage enquiring minds to ask questions as it shows interest and a willingness to learn! We will help your child to progress their abilities and achieve their maximum potential.
Of course, Karate is not just about self-defence. It also also reinforce the values which parents wish to see in their children, such as commitment, self-confidence and a “can do” attitude, good manners, and consideration for others.
Bring your child(ren) along to have fun, make new friends, develop their character, improve their fitness, and learn practical skills which will help to keep them safe from harm.

Generally, we would suggest that children who have trained in martial arts before start in the classes listed above, according to their age group.
With children aged 6-11 years old, if we find that their skills are such that they need to be progressed to a more advanced class, we can quickly arrange that.

Around the age of 11 or 12 years of age (and older), children would normally attend our family class. Here, we sub-divide the class according to ability level, and ensure that students are suitably-challenged in order to ensure their progression.
Of course, we look at all children on an individual basis; we are guided by parents' views, as well as our own observations, when deciding which class would best suit a child.

FREE TRIAL OF karate CLASSES FOR CHILDREN
WHO HAVE TRAINED IN MARTIAL ARTS BEFORE
We offer a FREE trial of up to one month for all "new to us" students, even if they have previously done martial arts somewhere else before. The trial is (a) your child's opportunity to ensure they are going to enjoy and benefit from the classes, (b) your opportunity to ensure you like what we do, and (c) our opportunity to ensure your child is mature enough to participate in the classes.
If your child still has a uniform from their prior martial arts training, they would be welcome to wear that initially (though if it's anything other than a plain white gi, we may ask you to replace it in time), or alternatively they can just wear something loose and casual such as a t-shirt and shorts/leggings/tracksuit trousers instead. We also have Karate gi (uniform) for sale if you want to buy a new one. Don't forget to ask your child to trim their toe nails and finger nails beforehand, to reduce the likelihood of injury during training.
We do require a short "permission form" to be completed before children can participate in our class... we can either send you one in advance by email/post, or you can collect one and fill it out when you bring your child for their first class (be sure to arrive 15 minutes early if you plan to fill it out "on the day", however).

Yes, you read it correctly... the 4th (and each subsequent member of every family) gets their Karate classes FREE! That means no family pays more than £69.00 per calendar month at the very most.
Obviously, some calendar months have 4 weeks in them, others have 5 weeks. You pay the same monthly cost irrespective of this, so on months with 5 weeks in them, you effectively get extra lessons for free!
Please note that all monthly membership fees must be paid in advance at the beginning of each month, by direct debit. We do not accept payments by cash/cheque for monthly membership fees, due to the additional banking fees and administration fees we would incur. The monthly membership fees are also based upon continuous payment, irrespective of any periods of non-attendance. Of course, if ever your child ever wished to cease attending our classes, you can ask us to cancel your direct debit at any time.
As a very established Karate group (we have been teaching in Cornwall for over 16 years!), we already have 80+ existing students paying for their classes by direct debit; join them with confidence!
