Karate classes for Families
Generally, we find it better to teach adults and younger children separately, which is why we have separate classes specifically for cadet students.
That said, we know that sometimes the only way parents can participate in Karate (due to childcare issues) is alongside their children. For that reason, we do allow mature children to participate alongside their parents in our "family classes". Please note that we do not recommend this approach for very young children (as they generally need a different style of teaching), but typically it would be fine for children from about the age of 10 years and over, and sometimes it can work with younger children.
The plus side of parents training alongside their children is that it gives a common interest and activity to share together, and you can encourage each other to practice and attend classes on days when you might be lacking in energy!
If you are interested in attending our Karate classes as a family, please get in touch... we'd be happy to discuss this with you.

When families attend our "family classes", there are opportunities for parents to train with their children (assuming you want to, of course!). There are also lots of opportunities for parents to have some "me time" and train with the other adult students, and for children to make friends while training with the other cadet students.
FREE TRIAL OF Family karate CLASSES
We offer a FREE trial of up to one month for all "new to us" students. The trial is your family's opportunity to see how friendly we all are, the wide variety of things that we do, and how much you'll enjoy our classes.
There's no need for any special uniform to be worn during the trial period (in fact, we strongly suggest you wait until the end of your free trial period before considering purchasing one). Instead, you can all just wear something loose and casual such as a t-shirt and shorts/leggings/tracksuit trousers. We train bare-footed, so please ensure your toenails (and finger nails) are trimmed prior to class so as not to cause injury during training.
We do require a short form (one per person) to be completed before you can participate in our classes... we can either send you one in advance by email/post, or you can collect one and fill it out when you come for your first class (be sure to arrive 10 minutes early if you plan to fill the form out "on the day", however).

PRICES OF Karate CLasses
Our pricing structure is simple! We have a monthly membership fee that students pay, and in return they can attend group classes on either Thursdays, Friday, or both days at no additional cost.
We also offer a generous “family discount” scheme, which means that families receive a discounted membership rate for each subsequent family member who wants to joins us (providing they live at the same address).
Our (per calendar month) membership fee is as follows:

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 standing order. 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 you / your child ever wished to cease attending our classes, you can cancel your standing order at any time.
As a very established Karate group (we have been teaching in Cornwall for over 12 years!), we already have 80+ existing students paying for their classes by standing order; join them with confidence!
