Meet Your Instructor: Sensei Luke Rollason, 2nd Dan

Our Birstall Karate Class is taught by Sensei Luke Rollason, a 3rd Dan Black Belt with years of training and teaching experience. Sensei Luke started in the club with his son many years ago. 

The Birstall class runs every Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Highcliffe Primary School, Greengate Lane, Birstall, LE4 3DL. Students are welcomed into a supportive environment where progress is celebrated, and learning is enjoyable.

Luke works with both children and adults, tailoring his teaching to suit different ability levels. Whether you are taking your very first class or working towards your next belt, you will be guided step-by-step.

What Makes Karate Great for Children

Parents across Birstall choose karate because it does more than get children active.

Karate helps children:

  • Develop discipline, focus, and confidence
  • Learn respect and responsibility in a positive environment
  • Improve coordination, balance, and strength
  • Feel included, no matter their personality or starting ability

The structure of karate can be especially beneficial for children with ADHD or ASD, as the clear routines and expectations provide a sense of stability while still being engaging and fun.

Why Adults Love Training Too

Karate is not just for children. Many adults in Birstall enjoy our classes as a fun, motivating alternative to the gym.

Training offers:

  • Improved fitness, strength, and flexibility
  • Better coordination and posture
  • A healthy outlet for stress after work
  • Clear, achievable goals through the belt system
  • A welcoming group of like-minded people to train with

Whether you want to get fitter, learn self-defence, or take on a new challenge, karate in Birstall is a great choice for adults at any stage of life.

What to Expect in Your First Class

If you are new to karate, your first class in Birstall will be friendly, welcoming, and beginner-friendly.

You do not need a uniform or special equipment to start. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, bring a bottle of water, and arrive ready to join in.

A typical first class includes:

  • A warm-up to get you moving
  • An introduction to basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks
  • Partner or group drills to practise new skills
  • Plenty of encouragement from both instructors and fellow students

Your first month is free, so you can take your time to see how much you enjoy it before making any commitment.

A Club That Grows with You

Many of our students start as beginners and go on to train for years, earning new belts and even becoming instructors themselves.

Karate at Simon Coope Karate School is taught through a clear belt grading system, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Along the way, you can choose to take part in local and national competitions, though this is always optional.

The Martial arts Birstall location is part of a wider network of classes across Leicestershire, so you can also train at other venues such as
