THINKING OF JOINING ONE OF THESE GROUPS?

then you must seriously consider this!

YOU STILL PAY - IF YOU'RE ILL

YOU STILL PAY - ON BANK HOLIDAYS

YOU STILL PAY - IF YOU'RE INJURED

YOU STILL PAY - WHEN YOU ARE AWAY ON HOLIDAY

YOU STILL PAY - IF YOU STOP TRAINING FOR A WHILE

YOU STILL PAY - IF THE CLUB IS CLOSED  E.G. MAINTENANCE

YOU STILL PAY - WHEN YOU STOP FOR THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD

For these very reasons we think it's unfair to expect parents of children or adults who join these groups to be locked into these money making schemes

We often hear horror stories of people who have a hard time trying to extract themselves away from these direct debit groups.

It is a known fact that you will lose money over a period of time, and if you leave at the start of the month you may lose 1 to 3 months money.

Great for the instructor who gets your hard earned money for doing absolutely nothing

ALL SAMA CLASSES ARE

PAY-AS-YOU-GO

NO-Direct debit schemes   NO-Contracts   NO-Consultations

NO NEED TO BOOK, JUST COME ALONG

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

SOMETHING LOOSE AND COMFORTABLE IE:

TEE-SHIRT, TRACK BOTTOMS, ETC

WORRIED BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU ARE;

UNFIT - TO OLD - OVERWEIGHT - UNCORDINATED

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 is regarded as 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 of the local area's that we teach in

Many students waste a lot of time, effort and money traveling long distances to competitions,

and to be truthful it usually result's in many of them 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 that every child should have the same opportunity as others to compete

Most competitions are very expensive to enter

OUR'S AREN'T!

SAMA competition's are very affordable!

Costs vary from around £5.00 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 and to help our local schools

and not into the pocket of some promoter up north!

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
