NOT FLEXIBLE ENOUGH

SAMA classes are friendly and informative, our instructors take all individual skills, fitness,

age and abilities into consideration. The SAMA system for karate & kick boxing is professionally run.

Developed from 40 years of teaching experience. Our classes are run on a progressive grade structure,

where students start at the very beginning. However students must be aware that each belt level is

progressively harder and therefore must be able to cope with this.

Compare SAMA with any other competition,

and you'll see why SAMA Students have the best choice

  

Many clubs expect student's to travel long distances

to competitions, and spend a fortune in doing so

WE DON'T!

SAMA competitions are held in many local area's that we teach in

Why waste time, effort and money traveling long distances to competitions,

and to be truthful it usually result's in students winning absolutely nothing.

Many clubs only pick selected children to represent them

WE DON'T!

We say, all SAMA KARATE KIDS are winners

We believe every child should have the same opportunity as others

Most competitions are very expensive to enter

OUR'S AREN'T!

SAMA competition's are very affordable!

We charge around £5 to enter 3 sections, giving kids a chance to win up to

2 trophies and a medal. Spectators cost around £1.50 for adults and 0.50p for children.

All SAMA children have the opportunity to compete

and their parents the opportunity to go and watch them

The money we make from our competitions goes back into our community

i.e.; local children's hospital, children's charities, our xmas party and to help our local schools

and not into the pocket of some promoter!

However we do not stop our members entering outside competitions.

See archives of our students who have won trophies past and present

in competitions, plus archives past and present of our charity work
