Welcome to the Children's Shizenryu Homepage

True martial arts are about learning how not to fight

Our children’s classes are specifically tailored to give children a broad base in the empty hand arts with the emphasis on safety and a moral understanding of the implications of their actions.

Shizenryu has a unique approach in helping children to be in harmony with both themselves and others. A child’s best defence will always be the invisible halo of confidence that helps them avoid situations that lead to conflict. We encourage children to help one another and always act in a polite and courteous manner. Shizenryu has gained a deep respect from both state and private schools. This respect has been fostered because we care a great deal about the children and their progress.

Shizenryu does not encourage aggression as this can lead to fear, which is always a poor substitute for respect. We believe in developing inquisitive minds that are able to solve problems. We do not  give them all the answers, instead we nurture a mental attitude that is able to solve problems by thinking it through for themselves.

Children learn how to resolve confrontation and avoid making enemies. They learn self-defence, but more importantly they learn self-confidence, self-respect and a path to self-discovery. In a world increasingly filled with stress and conflict these lessons are survival tools for children of all ages.

Shizenryu is ideal for growing children as it develops concentration, awareness, co-ordination, physical and mental discipline, good health, vitality, team work and motivation.
