INSTRUCTORS
A school is only as good as its teachers…
Karate For Kids provides a number of instructors from a wide range of backgrounds, ensuring every student has a Sensei that suits his or her style of learning. Our instructors are not only martial artists, but role models who offer support in every aspect of their students’ lives, from empowering victims of bullying to teaching respect and acceptance. All our instructors and admin staff hold valid and current WWCC certificates. Read more about the Karate For Kids teaching staff below.
