A POSITIVE FIRST START
A beginner-friendly start to karate
Starting a new activity can feel like a big step for both children and parents. Foundation 8 gives children a clear, structured introduction to karate without throwing them straight into a regular class environment.
Across the 8 weeks, children learn basic karate skills while building confidence, focus, listening skills, balance, coordination and self-control.
Best for children who need:
More confidence
Better focus and listening
A structured after-school activity
A safe introduction to martial arts
