For the kids sessions we encourage safe but fun practices which allows children to develop their agility, body confidence and coordination. The children’s classes are based around developing core skills involving kata (patterns of movement), basic forms (punching, blocking), and partnership working. Of course the key ingredient is ‘fun’, and we recognise that children develop in their own way, so although we have grading events we monitor progress continually and guide children through their karate so they develop at their own pace.
