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.

My daughter has been attending Cornwall Karate for nearly a year now and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Its a great combination of discipline and fun whilst always being engaging. Often there are games at the end of the lessons, bokken battles on a Friday, she's had the experience of breaking wood with her bare hands and recently had one off nunchucks lesson, as well as beach lessons and meals out socially! It's been great for my daughters confidence and physicality. The teachers are fantastic, welcoming and encouraging, and always professional, we love belonging to the Cornwall Karate family!

My son's been attending for about a year. He loves it. He's gained confidence in his movements and himself, plus he gets to see his friends in a fun environment and learn a valuable life skill. Teachers are dedicated and approachable. Older students also help out which I think is good for role modeling for the younger ones. Lots of extra activities also on offer in addition to regular classes eg. Xmas meal, xmas party, beach karate lessons in summer etc. Price very competitive as you can attend both classes per week. Recommended!

My daughter joined Karate in August 2020, as a family friends were attending and recommended. We tried on the off-chance and never looked back. My daughter has grown in confidence and it’s down to the great teaching from the Sensei’s and the Senpai’s. She learnt much more than just karate, too; the history behind it and trust in others by forming friendships she might not have formed by not joining. Cornwall karate is brilliantly run, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is willing to give it a go.

My 8 year old son, started his first Karate lesson 8 months ago. He loves it! The Karate cadets has a varied age range, for different abilities. They all work so well together, all the cadets are privileged to have more than one instructor to help teach them. The Cornwall Karate team are welcoming, friendly, respectful, and professional. This karate group offers so much of their own time, a website to support members outside of classes, cadets can attend two classes a week and so much more. I believe Karate to be a life skill and I’m glad my son has started his Karate journey with Cornwall Karate. We are truly grateful for all they all do - thank you! Highly recommend this karate group for anyone who wants to learn karate, whether you're with a child, couple, family, single, whatever your age.

Our son has been attending for several months. He started off once a week but as he enjoys it so much he now goes twice a week. The instructors are really great with the youngsters, making it a fun way to learn but still with the necessary discipline.

I have been taking part in Cornwall Karate's classes for almost 4 years now. I have gained confidence and learnt some excellent self defence, as well as a fun way to exercise. The classes take place at Penzance Leisure Centre. The teachers are brilliant at their jobs, they are all so kind and funny. On the website, you can also find helpful videos. When you join you will get a 1 month free trial. Overall I would really recommend Cornwall Karate to those who are looking for fantastic martial arts class.

We highly recommend Cornwall Karate. Kevin and Andy are fabulous instructors. Our 11 year old really enjoys all her sessions. It’s more than just a karate class, it really feels like a community.

Fridays |
Cadet Class 5.30pm - 6.30pm (1 Hour) |

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.
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 or plain black 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).

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.
