In our Little Tigers (4–7 years) classes, children:

  • Learn basic karate blocks, strikes and kicks

  • Build balance, coordination and listening skills

  • Gain confidence by achieving small goals

  • Train at a pace that suits them with one-to-one guidance when needed

Our aim is for kids to enjoy training so they want to keep coming back and growing.

Karate gives you a strong physical and mental foundation you can build on for life.

Karate for adults Perth – self defence training for adults

If you’re between 30 and 49 years, you’re probably very busy with work and family. Most of our students in this age range find karate is:

  • A much-needed break from everyday stress

  • Time each week to do something purely for themselves

  • A great full-body workout that improves strength, mobility and posture

When you do karate, you simply can’t stress about anything else – you must focus on what you’re doing. That mental reset is one of the biggest benefits for adults in this age group.
