Martial arts is more than just another after school activity - it's a fun and exciting way to get your children to stay active, build confidence, and develop important life skills. How Martial Arts Classes Can Support Your Child
From learning to focus and disciplining their minds, to developing physical strength and coordination, kids who train in martial arts are constantly challenged and motivated to grow. Plus, with the supportive community of fellow students and instructors, there's always a sense of teamwork and camaraderie in the dojo which helps build lifelong skills and memories. Hicks Family Martial Arts in Peterborough runs an award-winning martial arts programme. They have produced several British, European and World Champions with high quality instructors teaching a range of classes. If it’s something you think your child could benefit from, now is an ideal time to give it a try as they’re offering a completely free, two week trial. Hicks Karate Family Martial Arts Centre offers classes for a range of ages at Unit 4, Vicarage Farm Road, Fengate, Peterborough as well as classes in Orton, Eye, Werrington and Deeping.
