Parent Offer - 1/2 price membership

Many of you sit and watch your child learn & have fun in the karate classes.

Why not join them on the mat and have fun too.

Many parents have taken that scary first step and have enjoyed so much that they wished they did it sooner.

Martial arts is a great way to bond with your child, learning and having fun together and the bonding doesn’t stop on the mat, it continues at home to.

Plus the added benefit is that your body gets fitter, your mind gets sharper and you are learning to defend yourself.
If you would like to join your child on the mats, speak to reception and we will size you up for a suit and 1/2 price membership, it’s as easy as that.

The hard bit is taking that 1st step.
