Q. Do you do any sparring (free fighting)?

A. Because our philosophy of the Martial Arts is one of self defence we do not teach students in our Little Warriors Martial Arts School to free-fight.  Instead we use attack and defence scenarios which involve avoiding and escaping instead of fighting.

Q. Do you have competitions?

A. The Little Warrior School philosophy is about self improvement rather than being better than someone else.  We understand however that competition can be a good way to focus on training as well refine our technique and form.  We will be holding inter club and national competitions in Kata (forms). Whilst children are at such a young and vulnerable age we do not promote fighting events.
