The instructors are child orientated and make the classes great fun for the children in a very friendly way, making this a great way to introduce young children as young as 5 to the world of karate.

Classes are run by Sensei Mark (5th Dan) and Libby (4th Dan) Donaghy and black belted students. All instructors are first aid certified, registered at the Scottish Karate Board and are checked by the Police for Child Protection.
