    ‘GROWTH MINDSET’ – HOW CAN MARTIAL ARTS HELP KIDS IN THEIR LIVES OUTSIDE THE DOJO

    Kids need martial arts now more than ever before. Governed by targets, schools have had to sacrifice creative play to desks and data. The skill of being a good learner – usually developed from trial and error – is having to be introduced as an extra thread of ‘growth mindset’ to attempt some balance for the spoon-feeding strategies most teachers need to employ. Luckily for the children in martial arts classes, we have the answers to these issues. Self control, discipline, confidence, teamwork, leadership, perseverance…we teach it all! It’s the ideal way to help children access their education more effectively, and to become more ....

  • WHY KIDS’ KARATE CLASSES LEAD TO GREATER CONCENTRATION AND SELF-DISCIPLINE

    WHY KIDS’ KARATE CLASSES LEAD TO GREATER CONCENTRATION AND SELF-DISCIPLINE

    WHY KIDS’ KARATE CLASSES LEAD TO GREATER CONCENTRATION AND SELF-DISCIPLINE It goes without saying that every parent wants their child to do well in school. Nothing is quite as frustrating as knowing a child is capable of so much more than what they’re showing in the classroom. At the same time, most children struggle not because they aren’t smart or talented enough, but because they have trouble concentrating in school.

Craig Mennie

A phenomenally welcoming club, sensei Liam make everyone who joins feel at ease and has a great style of teaching. Train at the Ayr dojo and been to a few training events at the Stewarton HQ would recommend to anyone looking to start their own Karate journey.

Jim Murphy

Been around Karate for nearly 10 years with my sons. Senjokai stands out with it's dedicated dojo and enthusiastic friendly instructors.

Kirsten Harkness

Senjokai is a fantastic club and I have never looked back since joining with my three children. Sensei Liam is an excellent instructor who is always striving forward to benefit us all. From the Wee Ninjas to the slightly bigger karate kids/adults we are taught, to name a few, fitness, self discipline, self defence, respect and self confidence. I am confident in saying that karate has become a very important and beneficial part of all of our lives and we have all met a great bunch of people in the process. So I would strongly recommend that if you are thinking of giving it a shot, just take that first step and go for it!
