The school summer holidays are a highlight for most children — but for parents, they can be a juggling act. With six or more weeks of unstructured time, keeping kids entertained, active, and away from screens can quickly become overwhelming.
Too much time indoors?
Endless YouTube or gaming?
Struggling to find something fun and worthwhile?
You’re not alone — many parents across Leicestershire face the same challenge. But there’s a simple and proven way to turn that extra free time into something meaningful: karate.
At Simon Coope Karate School, we’re offering a one-month free karate trial for new students this summer. With classes across multiple local venues, it’s never been easier to keep your child active, engaged, and learning something new.
If you want something that goes beyond just filling time, karate is an ideal choice.
Our summer karate classes are:
Active and energising — ideal for burning off extra energy
Focused on balance, strength, and body coordination
Designed to build discipline, respect, and resilience
Social, confidence-boosting, and seriously fun
Unlike team sports, karate allows each child to develop at their own pace, with the support of experienced instructors and a positive class environment. Whether your child is outgoing or more reserved, our sessions are tailored to encourage progress, confidence, and enjoyment.
And let’s not forget — kids love it. Kicking pads, learning moves, earning belts — it’s a mix of challenge and fun that keeps them coming back for more.
You don’t have to travel far to get started. We offer karate classes in Leicestershire for children at convenient venues across the county, including:
Each location offers the same warm welcome, quality instruction, and structured approach to learning. No previous experience needed – we cater to complete beginners as well as returning students.
We know trying something new can feel like a big commitment. That’s why we’re making it risk-free this summer.
New students can enjoy one month of free karate classes at any of our martial arts Leicestershire locations. That means:
No upfront costs
No uniform required to begin
No pressure — just a chance to give it a go
Whether your child is looking for a new hobby or simply needs a positive outlet over the summer holidays, karate is a brilliant choice.
We understand that starting something new can feel daunting, especially for younger children. That’s why we focus on making the first experience friendly, fun, and stress-free.
Here’s what to know before your child’s first karate class:
What to wear: T-shirt and jogging bottoms or leggings — no gi required to start
What to bring: A bottle of water and a willingness to try something new
What to expect: Clear instruction, a welcoming atmosphere, and beginner-friendly exercises
Most of our students join with no martial arts background at all. Our job is to make them feel confident, comfortable, and excited to come back.
If you’re looking for a fun, safe, and meaningful way to keep your child active this summer, karate could be the perfect fit.
At Simon Coope Karate School, our expert instructors and supportive classes help kids build confidence, discipline, and focus — all while having a great time.
