Marital Arts for 5 year olds

Post by Carlw »

Hello,
My 5 year old son has an interest in learning martial arts, mainly after seeing various superheroes in action. He might be a bit on the young side - I see there's a tae kwon do school on Kirkdale starting classes for 7 year olds - but does anyone know of schools or instructors in the area who work with a younger crowd?

Thanks!
Belle

My six year old son has been going here since he was three and is now a yellow belt. His teacher Lisa is amazing!

Thanks Belle, will have to look into this! It would be a bit of a trek for us as we don't have a car, but this course does look excellent.

There's a guy who runs Karate at St Bart's School - can't remember his name, but is spoken of highly, so I've pulled his number of the school website; 07939 958 916
He runs this for KS1 and 2 so assume he does local clubs.
