Dynamic Karate Kids
Year one of the children’s programme introduces Seisan and Seiuchin, the first traditional self-defense sets, the upper- and lower-body basics charts, and dynamic basics such as the jab, cross and jump kicks.
Karate programmes and classes for every age
Eleven weekly classes across four progressive training tracks, plus fitness kickboxing, sport weapon kumite, grappling and extreme karate.
The four training tracks
One four-year path, four stages
Students move through a structured quarterly syllabus. Each quarter adds new kata, new self-defense sets, new basics and — from year two onwards — new Okinawan weapons work.
Dynamic Black Belt Training
Year two deepens the kata work through Seiuchin and Naihanchi, adds Wansu, and brings in break falls and the first escrima stick drills.
Dynamic Masters Training
Year three moves through Wansu and Chinto, introduces kama and nunchaku work, and teaches the first Okinawan bo kata, Tokumine No Kun.
Elite Martial Arts Training
The final year completes Chinto and Kusanku, teaches Sunsu and the Kusanku sai kata, and finishes with the basics of Sanchin and CDT training.

Additional classes
Fitness, weapons and ground work
These classes run alongside the core karate tracks and are open to students from any programme.
Fitness Kickboxing
A non-contact, high-energy workout built from martial arts conditioning. No karate experience required — a good first step for adults who want the fitness without the forms.
Chanbara
Sport weapon kumite with padded swords. Students learn distance, timing and commitment in a controlled, safety-first format.
Extreme Karate
Open-hand forms, jumping and spinning techniques and demonstration skills, led by Senpai Dai Farruh Nunuzov, who comes to us from a wushu, taekwondo and ninjitsu background.
Grappling
Ground fighting and escapes, so students can defend themselves from the floor as well as standing — led by Sensei Robert Henderson.
Not sure which class fits?
Thirty days of unrestricted training, free, is the simplest way to find out. Tell us the student’s age and we will do the rest.
