Seido Karate for Children

Seido Karate is an ancient form of traditional Japanese Martial Art. While still one of the most effective forms of self-defence available, Seido Karate’s main purpose is the cultivation of character, empowerment, self-esteem and everyday confidence.

Seido Karate is an excellent way to get fit, the focus in children’s classes is involvement, discipline, releasing energy, growing confidence, control and learning basic Karate skills while having fun.

The children are judged on their own merits, so while everybody is expected to try their best, we realise that all are individuals and are working to different output levels.

Seido Karate often suits children not interested in team sports.

We also have an anti-bullying strategy
