Karate Classes for children and teenagers in Sandbach & Congleton

Cheshire Karate Academy runs several sessions a week dedicated to the teaching of Karate to Juniors and Teenagers. These sessions are held after school and in the evenings and last up to 1 hour. We normally take children from 6 years upwards but this is dependent upon the individual child. All classes are run by fully qualified instructors who are DBS checked.

Cheshire Karate Academy strongly believes in Safeguarding our students and our association has two nominated Child Welfare Officers who can be contacted at the following email addresses: Sensei Matt Taylor at matt.sensei@twyfordkarate.club or Carly Barrett-Greening at waveconnections@outlook.com.

At What Age Can a Child Learn Karate?

We advise that children can start to learn karate at 6 years old. However, our instructors can also advise on younger children starting lessons depending on a variety of factors. If you’d like your child to start training in our kids’ karate classes, don’t hesitate to speak to us to advise you on the best course forward. We’re always more than happy to see people wanting to get their kids into karate classes, and we’ll discuss how your child can benefit from joining our Cheshire Karate Academy.

Why is Karate good for Children & Teenagers?

Karate helps in child & youth development, improving both physical and mental health. The key benefits are:

• Confidence & self-esteem: those who train in Karate are less likely to be bullied.
• Focus and concentration: Your child's/teenager's education can be enhanced, as their focus and concentration increases through karate training.
• Respect, positive attitude and behaviour: Karate teaches your child & teenager how to be respectful to others.
• Discipline and perseverance: school work can be greatly improved by the discipline learned during a karate class.

Students progress at different rates therefore the age of students in each class are indicative and may vary, at instructor's discretion.
