Edge Kids Karate
Give Your Child The Skills, Confidence & Attitude To Take On Whatever Life Has To Offer
Edge Martial Arts prides itself on offering individual and dedicated instruction to help children reach their own specific goals, be that building their social skills, self-defence, fitness and all the skills that will get them through their day-to-day life.
The problem is that there are just too many instances of bullying and the threat of escalating violence in and outside of school is all too real. However you don’t want to instill fear into your kids and usher them into a martial arts program where they feel daunted and outside of their comfort zone.
Yes kids should have the ability to be confident and stand up for themselves, but how that happens is more important than what they are learning. Our kids programs have been specifically designed to provide essential self-defence skills, but is presented in a way where the learning comes as a by-product of having fun.
So if you’re looking for an activity that gets kids moving, provides an opportunity for social interaction and is goal orientated, then we have a selection of programs to suit all levels, ages and interests.
