A safe, friendly place to train

We offer a safe and friendly environment to train in, with fully qualified (BMABA) and CRB-checked instructors.

Our classes include martial arts, self-defence and karate, providing an enjoyable way to learn practical skills, improve your fitness and meet new people. With martial arts and self-defence skills becoming increasingly valuable, there’s never been a better time to give it a go.

We welcome a large number of complete beginners throughout the year. So, if you’ve always fancied trying martial arts but never got around to it, why not come along and see what Young Gloves Karate is all about?

Who can start training at our Karate classes?

Boys and girls from as young as 4, through to adults in their 70s, can train with us.

Our specialised programmes and activities are designed to help develop co-ordination, concentration, balance, discipline, fitness, self-defence skills and overall wellbeing.

Everyone trains at their own level, whether you’re completely new to martial arts or already have experience.

Feel free to come along and watch one of our martial arts, self-defence or karate classes — or better still, join in!

Boxercise

Young Gloves Karate also offers Boxercise classes at Franche School every Wednesday evening from 8.00pm – 9.00pm.

The class has proved very popular, with everyone welcome regardless of age, gender or current fitness level.

Sessions are designed so you can train at your own pace and level, with everything provided for you.
