Training - Beginners Training - Adult Training - KatasSeishin-Ryu Children's Karate Training
Karate Kid's The Club has been running specialized children's classes since 1990 (formerly at Lea Valley High School) and takes children from the age of 6yrs -16yrs.
Children's classes are run completely separately from adult classes and run for 60 minutes. The Club instructors help the children enjoy their training in a happy, safe + disciplined environment.
Karate training will improve health, self confidence ,self esteem and produce a sense of worth . Parents and teachers often comment on the improvement in schoolwork and behaviour from children who train regularly.
Our children's program teaches much more than martial arts, it teaches students to be good citizens and helps prepare them for their future lives. The young students at the Club are treated with respect and are taught to respect others. We also instill in our students that wherever possible conflict should be resolved in a non violent manner.
Like our adult classes the children learn the basic techniques of punching, kicking and blocking (kihon), stances, pre-arranged sparring (kumite) and solo drills (kata), but we try to make it more fun and mix the physical techniques with growth skills and problem solving games.

Children are also encouraged in their academic studies and merit badges are awarded for good schoolwork and good behaviour at school and at home.
The Club has a wealth of good instructors and classes are structured according to grade and age. Grading's are held every 3 months or so and are not compulsory but are the way the children progress to a different coloured belt.The classes are run by Paul Shephard 6th dan who is a CRB checked registered instructor and a parent himself with 3 children who have trained at the club.
The Club has a friendly family atmosphere and parents are encouraged to stay and watch the classes.
Parents are also encouraged and welcome to train with the children if they wish.
