Kids Martial Arts Classes
Info for parents
Learning a martial art is a great way for kids to build confidence about themselves and their body, to improve their coordination, and to develop self-discipline. Our classes are fun and engaging without the stiff formality you might think of when imagining a traditional martial art.
Free trial class
The best way to learn whether training at our club is right for you is to come along and see for yourself. Reach out by email, social media, or phone to let us know you'll be coming along, then have your kids join in on the day. Our instructors will give you them introduction, an opportunity to train with other club members, and some demonstrations of techniques.
Please contact Paul on 027 253 3139 or email us and we'll talk you through what to expect.

What do we teach?
We teach a style called Hapkido, which comes from Korea. The kids syallbus is modified to avoid any overly dangerous techniques and focuses on skills that even smaller bodies can master.
