Leamington Martial Arts

Our Little Dragons classes begin from 4 years old, giving younger children a fun introduction to Martial Arts Leamington through games, movement and simple techniques. As children grow, they move into Junior Basics and Junior Advanced classes where they develop confidence, discipline, coordination and respect. Families travel from across Leamington Spa, including Lillington, Sydenham, Newbold and Brunswick, because our structured classes allow children to progress safely alongside others of a similar age and ability.

For your first Leamington Martial Arts class, comfortable sports clothing such as a t-shirt and jogging bottoms or shorts is usually ideal. There is no need to buy a uniform before attending your trial lesson. Once you decide you'd like to continue, we'll explain any uniform requirements and answer any questions you may have. Students from across Leamington Spa, including Milverton, Crown and Campion Hills, regularly attend their first lesson with everyday sportswear before deciding whether martial arts is right for them.

Not at all. One of the biggest misconceptions about Leamington Martial Arts is that you need to be fit before beginning. In reality, fitness develops naturally as your training progresses. Every class is structured so beginners can work comfortably at their own level while gradually improving strength, flexibility, balance and stamina. Whether you're joining from Leamington Spa town centre, Milverton, Lillington or Newbold, you'll never be expected to perform beyond your current ability. Progress comes through regular attendance rather than previous fitness.

Absolutely. Many parents choose Martial Arts Leamington because their child lacks confidence or struggles in group situations. Our classes provide a supportive environment where children are encouraged without being pressured. As they develop new skills, achieve goals and work alongside other students, confidence often grows naturally. Families from Leamington Spa, Lillington, Sydenham, Brunswick and Crown regularly tell us they've noticed improvements in focus, communication and self-belief both inside and outside the training hall.

Yes. We teach Wing Chun Kung Fu in Leamington for Junior Advanced students and adults. Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese martial art that focuses on efficient movement, close-range techniques, balance, coordination and practical self-defence skills. Classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as people with previous martial arts experience.

Our younger students follow a slightly different programme. Little Dragons and Junior Basics learn kick-boxing before students can progress into more advanced training. Sifu John Kelly has trained in Wing Chun Kung Fu for 18 years and has taught it for 15 years, providing structured Kung Fu training for students from Leamington Spa and the surrounding area.

No. Although people searching for Karate in Leamington, Karate classes in Leamington or children's Karate in Leamington may come across Leamington Martial Arts, the classes we teach are not Karate. Little Dragons and Junior Basics learn kick-boxing, while Junior Advanced students and adults learn Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Sifu John Kelly has previous experience training in Karate, as well as Shaolin Kung Fu and Jeet Kune Do, but the current Leamington classes do not follow a Karate syllabus. If you are comparing Karate Leamington classes with other martial arts in Leamington Spa, you are welcome to try a free class and see whether our style of training suits you or your child. Adult beginners and children are both welcome, and no previous martial arts experience is needed.
