Martial arts classes in ED

[mummydaddyme]

Do any other parents send their children to any martial arts classes in East Dulwich? My boys were going to a judo class on a Wednesday afternoon at Dulwich Leisure centre and the guy who runs it was lovely but I wasn't sure if they were progressing as they should. Just wanted to see what else was out there.

Recommend www.waltersfamilytaekwondo.com....daniel is a great role model....has just moved to The Bussey building in Peckham though...but worth it..right opposite Peckham Rye Station (opposite victors lab so you can do yoga while they do the taekwondo.....or a great basement bar nearby selling Vietnamese street food...makes the travel easier!)

Thanks Cora, I'll check that out

There are fantastic children's judo classes in Sydenham, at the new building on Wells Park Road.

They're already quite heavily subscribed, but you could check whether there's any space.

The teacher is Sensei Donna.

My son does Taekwondo at Goodrich on Tuesday evenings. They have regular assessments, they can gain badges and work towards getting different colour belts. All at a fee of course, but my son's really motivated by it, particularly now that he can do sparring. They're called mazuki, the website is http://www.mazuki.com/

I'd recommend Kung Fu at the United Church in Red Post Hill on Saturday mornings. My son loves it and feels very much part of a club. It's great for self defence and fitness but they also learn about discipline, respect and they meditate at the end of each class! They are graded regularly which keeps them motivated and the teacher, Richard, is brilliant. Here's the website...

Yes I would recommend richard's fujan white crane Kung fu class. I have been doing the adult class for 12 years and as a teacher it does instil great discipline as well is improving flexibility, strength and fitness.He also does a children's class on Monday at 6.15pm. Check out his website for more details.
