Questions
Questions families ask
Anything else you’d like to know? Give us a call, we’re happy to help.
Do I have to train with my child?
Only if you’d like to. You’re welcome to join in with Little Champions and Karate Kids, stay and watch, or take some time for yourself while they train. It’s up to you.
My kids are different ages. Can they all come on Saturday?
Yes. Classes run one after the other: Little Champions at 8:40am, Karate Kids at 9:30am and Teens & Adults at 10:30am.
My child is shy. Will they be OK?
Many little ones feel braver with Mum or Dad beside them for the first few classes. You’re welcome to join in until they’re ready to fly solo.
We have Saturday sport too. Can we come some weeks?
Of course. Classes also run during the week, so you can train whichever days suit.
Do we need any experience?
No. Most of our students started as complete beginners, and every class is adapted to where you’re at.
Do I need to be fit to join in?
No. Fitness, strength and flexibility are things karate builds over time. You go at your own pace.
What should we wear and bring?
Comfortable clothes like a t-shirt and track pants, and a water bottle. We train in bare feet.
Can we book a free trial for the whole family?
Yes. You can book everyone in the same booking, and each person’s first lesson is free.
