Children can start from age 4. Our Tiger Tots programme is specifically developed for children aged 4–6.

All new children aged 4–12 begin with a personalised 1-to-1 trial lesson, allowing us to assess their confidence, readiness and the most suitable programme for them.

For children aged 4–12, the personalised £10 1-to-1 trial lesson provides a calm, focused introduction before joining regular classes.

It allows us to get to know your child, assess their confidence and readiness, introduce them to the way we teach, and recommend the most suitable programme for them.

If you enrol on our £59 6-Week Confidence & Karate Programme, the £10 trial fee is credited towards the programme cost.

Teens and adults aged 13+ can choose either a free in-class trial week or a personalised £10 1-to-1 trial lesson.

Your child does not need a karate uniform for their trial lesson. Comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely, such as a T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms, is ideal.

If they enrol on our £59 6-Week Confidence & Karate Programme, a customised Seven Star Martial Arts uniform is included as part of the programme.

Tiger Tots classes are 30 minutes and students attend two classes each week. Dragons & Family and Teens & Adults classes are 60 minutes, with two classes each week.

Our programmes are structured around regular twice-weekly training, so students are expected to attend both weekly classes wherever possible. Consistent attendance is important for progress, confidence and long-term development.

Yes. Children’s safety is a priority throughout our karate programmes.

Our Neath centre has a large matted training area, with classes taught in a structured and supervised environment. Techniques and activities are introduced progressively and appropriately for each age group and ability level.

Our instructors and leaders are trained in first aid, and we have established safeguarding and child protection procedures in place.

Parents or guardians are required to stay and watch their child’s classes from our dedicated viewing area.

We aim to make our programmes as inclusive as possible, and the structured nature of martial arts can work particularly well for many children with additional learning needs.

Every child is different, which is one of the reasons children aged 4–12 begin with a personalised 1-to-1 trial lesson. This gives us the opportunity to understand your child’s individual needs, confidence, communication and physical abilities before recommending the most suitable programme.

Where it is safe and practical to do so, we will make reasonable adjustments to help your child participate and progress.

We ask parents or guardians to let us know about any additional needs, medical conditions or physical limitations before the trial so we can discuss how best to support their child.

Our 6-Week Confidence & Karate Programme is £59 and provides new students with a structured introduction to regular training.

For children aged 4–12, the first step is a personalised £10 1-to-1 trial lesson. If your child enrols on the 6-Week Programme, the £10 trial fee is credited towards the programme cost.

Teens and adults aged 13+ can choose either a free in-class trial week or a personalised £10 1-to-1 trial lesson before starting the programme.

During the programme, we will explain the ongoing training options clearly so you can choose the one that best suits you or your family.

The 6-Week Confidence & Karate Programme provides a structured introduction to Seven Star Martial Arts and regular karate training.

It includes six weeks of classes, a customised karate uniform, temporary access to our Members Online Training & Syllabus Platform, weekly progress and reward systems, and parent support resources.

For children aged 4–12, the £10 personalised 1-to-1 trial lesson is credited towards the £59 programme cost when they enrol.

During the programme we will monitor progress and help you understand the most appropriate next step.

Towards the end of the six weeks, we will explain the ongoing training options available. There is no need to make a long-term decision before experiencing the programme and seeing whether Seven Star Martial Arts is the right fit for you or your child.
