Martial arts for kids

Some of us may balk at the idea of our kids learning martial arts, but there’s so much more to the discipline than just dishing out karate chops in the playground!

As well as teaching them self-defence skills – so important in today’s world – martial arts build strength and flexibility, and also encourage self-discipline, focus and attention to detail.

We’ve rounded up the best martial arts for kids in your area for all ages and stages. With so many different types of martial arts on offer, there’s something for every child to try.

Whether they fancy the combative karate, with its emphasis on striking poses, the physicality of judo, with its throws and holds, or the Korean art of self-defence, tae kwon do.

Whether your child is a complete beginner or already working through their gradings, our guide will help you find the right martial arts class near you.
