The Karate Lion Cub programme teaches the basic karate techniques and includes a level of fitness through fun games. Your child will learn to negotiate space and obstacles safely with consideration for themselves and others and develop strength, balance and coordination.
There is also an element of Personal and Social Education where the children will learn about stranger danger, keeping safe, healthy eating, being respectful, including the Leading Martial Arts club etiquette.

Foundation Karate Programme
Age Range 6yrs – 106yrs
The Foundation Karate Programme has been designed to create a solid base of understanding, knowledge, physical fitness, and some core techniques that can be extremely effective (even on their own).
The methods taught are also expanded on in later programmes to give students a richer understanding of better execution as well as adding additional aspects which compliment previous lessons. All the modules in this karate programme cover some core basic “must haves” such as club etiquette, and how to use the various pieces of equipment safely for all our students.
The karate programme also introduces all the various stances. The programme also includes almost all the Hand and Foot (offensive and defensive) techniques.
How Much?
Tuition fees for the Foundation Karate Programme are £35 per calendar month.
You will only ever pay for two members of your family. Any additional members joining will receive free tuition. This means that if two adults and two children are on the Foundation Martial Arts Programme. The most you will pay is £70 per calendar month for everyone! That’s a massive 50% off.
Advanced Karate Programme
The Advanced Karate Programme reinforces all the modules in the foundation Karate programme as well as teaching new modules.
These new modules must be repeated at least twice within the programme in order to progress to the Senior Karate Programme. This ensures that students have been given sufficient time to be able to practice and execute the techniques to the level required before progressing to the Senior Karate Programme.
The programme has been deliberately designed rotating the modules allowing students to practice and gain knowledge through reflective learning with other cohorts as they progress through the Programme. The modules in this programme contain some advanced and highly effective elbow techniques.
This programme mainly focusses on building technical competence throughout all the techniques shown. This is achieved through the use of efficient and effective combinations that demonstrate how to transition from one technique to the next. Through this series of combinations, the students learn how to not only execute the predetermined combinations but allow them to create their own.
On completion of this programme students will be able to actively move (evading and attacking) transitioning effectively between techniques.
Senior Karate Programme
The Senior Karate programme is where all aspects of previous learning are consolidated.
This programme will demonstrate not only how to combine our techniques (Advanced Karate Programme) but also how the students are able to counter and even to some degree anticipate them. The students are taught a series of fast and effective techniques that are designed to enable them to defend and counter against a number of attacks. As well as this the students are also taught a highly effective series of self-defence techniques.
These techniques are highly advanced and extremely effective when executed correctly. This Karate programme contains a series of counter-move combinations that can be executed in their own right but also to teach students how to string combinations together whilst moving in order to both attack and counter-attack an opponent.

Life Skills Taught
Training in karate allows you develop essential life skills.
Through karate, you will have the opportunity to develop confidence and build self-esteem in a positive and friendly atmosphere. Karate can help train your mind and body, helping you to remain focused, maintain attention and help you stay alert.
Training alongside other students, will help develop your social skills and as you progress through the belts, develop leadership skills as you learn to train other students yourself. As you grow in confidence (at your own pace) you will soon find yourself participating in general discussions, sharing ideas and for some you may even wish to take a class of your own.
Health Benefits
Karate has many health benefits including general fitness, mental health, and wellbeing.
Hectic daily routines which may cause stress and anxiety can be helped with training in karate. The cardiovascular exercise and breathing techniques used can help reduce stress levels especially when the feel-good hormone dopamine is released. Having self-control is a big part of karate and can help people let go of any feelings of anger and negative thoughts.
Karate is a fantastic way of helping you get fit and improves cardiovascular health, building endurance and can also help with weight loss in line with a calorie controlled diet.
Flexibility can also help with blood flow to muscles. Having better flexibility has also been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. So with the chances of increasing a healthier heart, better mental wellbeing and feeling fitter, karate is a fun and progressive way to a healthier lifestyle.
What’s Included
We have no gimmicks at Leading Martial Arts. We openly share all of the fees and costs associated with Karate. We have even structured some of our syllabus to ensure that payment for the various pieces of equipment you will need is staggered to help with costs.
We offer a significant reduction in fees for families training together. We do this because we know that training as a family not only increases the fun but also keeps you motivated. We know this because that’s what we did too. Not to mention a little bit of healthy competition along the way (Parents vs Kids).
