What our parents say...

I have never seen anyone have such control over a bunch of 3-4 year olds as Sensei Emma, without ever having to raise her voice. I cant even keep two girls in check, yet they all stand and wait their turn-it's amazing to watch! My girls love going to karate and it's a brilliant way to burn off energy whilst also learning some self control and respect. So pleased that we signed up!Shoned Seddon

Sensai Emma is fantastic, she not only brings fun and humour to the Karate class but trains them to build their confidence, improve their strength and become more focussed. My daughter's confidence has improved so much and she can't wait to go to class each week and learn her next move and gain another badge. Would highly recommend any child to attendRachel De Loayza

Emma has the unique mix of a caring and fun teacher with the discipline and skill of a black belt. Her classes engage the shyest of children and challenge the most confident. Would highly recommend Sensei Emma's classes for all!Rachel Williams Chris Arnold
