01 / WHAT IS THE COURSE?
No experience needed.
The 6 Week Beginners Course is an introduction for children who are new to martial arts. It gives them a chance to experience the training, understand the class routine and start developing new skills over six weeks.
The focus is on building foundations: movement, coordination, basic technique and learning to train with others. Children can begin at their own starting point, with guidance from Regan.
It also gives you, as a parent, time to see how your child settles in and whether martial arts is an activity they enjoy.
02 / WHAT THEY’LL WORK ON
Skills, class habits and confidence.
A starting point for longer-term progress.
Balance, body awareness and learning to move with control.
An introduction to punching, kicking and pad skills, with an emphasis on technique.
Following instructions, practising a skill and learning the rhythm of a class.
Taking turns, showing respect and encouraging others as part of a group.
03 / FIND THEIR GROUP
Different ages need different starting points. Regan can help you find the right group for your child.
Movement, listening and coordination, with a playful introduction to martial arts.
Basic technique, focus and teamwork, with challenges that encourage progress.
Technique, fitness and personal goals, with room to develop independence.

04 / THEIR FIRST CLASS
Comfortable clothes they can move in and a water bottle are a good starting point. Confirm any uniform or footwear requirements with Regan before attending.
