[craigbez1 10]

hi can anyone recommend a karate or mma class for my 7 year old son .he had his starter session at castle black belt academy yesterday,he really enjoyed it but when i found out the price i could not believe it.it works out at 25 pound a lesson.surely there is somewhere more affordable than that.any help would really be appreciated and put a smile back on the face of a 7 year old boy.i would prefer a saturday class as i work till 7 in the week.cheers

Try Heian Ryu with classes at Ponds forge or Hillsborough Leisure centre Website here > http://www.hrkg.org.uk/. They practice a style called Shukokai.

I teach juniors at my Jitsu club on Saturdays at Hillsborough Leisure centre 11am to 12.30pm. The first session is free and newbies are welcome all year round.

Greystones Karate on Wednesday evenings. £5 for each 1.5 hour session.

 

Very friendly, no selling, the people than run it do it because they love it. My son's been going there since he was about 7 and he's really shy, but feels comfortable there and enjoys it. He had a taster session at Castle as well and felt it was a bit intimidating. His mum and dad felt the pressure to sign a contract was a bit intimidating too.

 

I think Greystones Karate also do sessions at Beighton on Tuesday.

I can recommend some good Karate instructors' in Sheff: Nev Hamilton: his group is called South Yorkshire Shotokan Karate Association, classes at Livingwell gym and Niagara sports centre. Also Bob Hague who I think teaches in Hillsborough. there are many good mart arts instructors with simple pay-as-you-train.

 

Pilsung Taekwondo also good.

 

Beware of groups like castle bba! Avoid contracts, extortionate direct debits etc.

 

Good luck
