Our 8-12’s karate kids class is tailored to students who are either new to martial arts or transitioning from our 4-7 Years Karate-Skills Classes.
It is common for students to try a free class, and join the club, with no prior martial arts experience. We are the best place for you to start! Students also regularly after training with other martial arts styles. Students do not necessarily re-start with Ishinryu from the beginning as we are skilled at recognising prior learning.
Our primary focus is on providing a collegial and welcoming environment. Your child can not only learn the art of karate but also build new, lasting friendships.



Class Highlights
Welcoming Atmosphere
Our Menai dojo fosters a positive and inclusive learning environment, and our students are all collegial and welcoming. It is common for students to enjoy a free class and emerge with new friends, making the learning experience enjoyable and socially enriching.
Regular Training Schedule
Our 8-12’s kids karate classes are held several times each school week.Our 8-12’s are also welcome at our all ages Saturday class, where many parents choose to train with their children.
Program Tailored for Progression
The 8-12’s class follows the regular Ishinryu Karate syllabus, with each grade able to be “halved” to allow for constant progression and acknowledgement of gaining new skills.
Emphasis on Skill Development
The innovative training program places a strong emphasis on developing confidence, focus and self-discipline. Most importantly, it is also fun.
Introduction to Kata and Controlled Sparring
As students progress they are introduced to kata (pre-arranged forms) and controlled sparring, enhancing their understanding of traditional techniques and practical application.
