🥋 Little legs, BIG energy! ⚡

Our 5–7 year olds getting warmed up, getting their heart rates going and, most importantly, having FUN!

Every class is an opportunity to develop coordination, build confidence, learn new skills and discover what our little karate kids are capable of. 💪

Because karate is about so much more than kicks and punches — it’s about growing, learning and enjoying the journey, one class at a time. 🥋❤️ head to our zen-shin website to book your child into 2 free trial classes!

Karate Instructors’ Course

Working through Bunkai, exploring the practical applications of our kata and breaking down the techniques to understand how they work in real situations.

Developing our understanding, refining our technique, and continuing to learn together as instructors.

Keep learning. Pass it on.

Sensei Abian and Sensei Sabah working through a few technical kickboxing drills, focusing on improving movement, footwork and developing a wider range of movement.

Working on jab-cross combinations with a pivot, the coiling step when delivering a hook, and front kick technique, focusing on generating the snap from the hip.

Small details make a big difference.

Sensei Abian perfecting the basics, building stronger technique 💪🏽. Every detail matters!

Footwork pattern drill with Sensei Abian and Sensei Sabah. We worked on different ways of moving around the mat, stepping, pivoting, switching direction, staying light, keeping guard while moving. Small changes in your steps make a big difference to balance and timing. Nice and simple.

Big congrats to everyone who took part in our recent first aid course. Passing this isn’t just a requirement for black belt, it’s a vital skill for life. To grade for black belt, you need a valid first aid certificate completed within the last three years. Well done again to everyone who took part.
