Blaze Juniors & Family Classes – Blaze Martial Arts & Personal Safety

Dragon, Junior & Teen Classes

Children's Classes

Different age groups have different learning needs so we offer separate age-appropriate sessions for children, teens and adults.

Dragons, 4-8 year olds
Juniors, 8-12 year olds
Teens, 12-19 year olds
Adults, 14 years +

The Dragons class is a 45-minute parent-interactive class as we find that 4 and 5 year olds benefit greatly from one-to-one support with their learning. They also often feel more confident trying new things when they have the reassurance of a parent close by so we ask a parent to get involved by pad-holding as this helps young children overcome the first hurdle of joining in. This means we can focus on exercising and having fun, which allows the confidence to build naturally &, therefore, more robustly.

Juniors & Teens Classes

The Junior & Teen classes are 60 minutes long and are designed to support the transition when moving up from a lower age group session.

Parents are welcome to spectate the classes in action and we encourage this for open parent-student-instructor dialogue. If your child is under 8 years old then we request that you stay on site for the duration of the class however, when they turn 8 years+ we are happy for you to drop them off and then collect them at the end of the session, should you so wish.

A typical class will involve a joint warm-up, a CV warm-up (varying week to week but ranging from shuttle running to basketball, from pad-work to dodgeball to name a few), after this we move onto the technical part of the class, the grading syllabus and sparring. All our classes are fun but maintain a healthy respect level towards both the instructors and the other students. We pride ourselves on having an excellent group of students and have never had any bullying issues within our classes as we focus on team building and looking out for each other.

Your child will gain confidence and develop skills to handle and overcome bullying should they need it. We encourage children & young people to gently step outside their comfort zone (within the safe parameters of the class), knowing that their experiences with us in martial arts will help develop their social skills, life skills and will set them on their way to a strong and confident pathway in life.

We ensure a high staff-to-student ratio to maintain excellent supervision levels whilst they train as we take safety very seriously. We also limit the amount of students we take on so that the children benefit from smaller group tuition. This does mean that some classes have waiting lists but we prefer not to over-subscribe and will always put safety before profit.

Staff are DBS checked and have extensive training in safe guarding, health & safety, first aid, play work, ACE’s, restorative practice and more. We welcome parents to request viewing our DBS records to offer complete reassurance (In the entire 22+ years of teaching we have never had a parent ask to see our DBS records. For your peace of mind, please feel free to ask to see them at any time). Our Lead Safeguarding Officer is Bryony Pengelly and she can be contacted on 07769 803357, day or night, to discuss safeguarding concerns.

Blaze classes are exceptionally popular and we do have waiting lists in place for some sessions however, we will do our best to accommodate you, especially if your child is experiencing bullying.
