The summer holidays are meant to be a time of fun and freedom — but for many families, they quickly become a cycle of screen time, complaints of boredom, and endless searching for new things to do. If your household is already hearing the dreaded “I’m bored!” just days into the break, you’re not alone. Instead of letting the summer slide by in a blur of video games and idle time, why not channel that energy into something positive, active, and rewarding? Karate at Simon Coope Karate School is the perfect way to keep children, teens, and adults engaged all summer long. Whether you’re looking for summer holiday activities in Leicestershire, searching for martial arts classes in Leicestershire, or want to help your child build confidence and focus, our karate programme offers a powerful alternative — and it’s backed by a one-month free trial for new students.
Karate is more than just kicks and punches. It’s a structured, engaging way to beat the summer slump — and it’s open to everyone. Keeps the body active: Our summer karate classes help children and adults stay physically active during a time when routines often fall apart.

If you’re after karate for fitness or simply want a fresh activity that breaks away from the usual summer clubs, karate is a fantastic choice. It’s structured, challenging, and fun.
