As the school year winds down and the sun begins to shine a little longer each day, summer presents the perfect opportunity to try something new, exciting, and beneficial. Whether you’re a parent looking for enriching summer activities in Leicestershire for your child, a teen searching for a challenge, or an adult wanting to stay active, karate is a brilliant choice. With school holidays freeing up schedules and the lighter evenings encouraging outdoor and active lifestyles, now is the ideal time to explore martial arts. At Simon Coope Karate School, we offer structured, beginner-friendly classes throughout the summer that promote fitness, confidence, and discipline — all while having fun. And with our one-month free offer for new students, there’s never been a better time to get started.
Summer is a season of energy, movement, and exploration — all of which align perfectly with the practice of karate. If you’re considering new summer hobbies, here’s why karate should be top of your list. Karate develops strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, offering a full-body workout that rivals many gym-based routines. But it’s much more than just physical fitness. Students also grow mentally through improved focus, resilience, and self-confidence. Our summer karate classes provide a healthy structure for children and teens during the long holiday break. Rather than slipping into inactivity or excessive screen time, students benefit from a routine that is both stimulating and rewarding. Looking for something different from football or dance? Karate is a fun and engaging alternative that builds real-life skills while keeping participants active and social.
At Simon Coope Karate School, we believe karate is for everyone — regardless of age or ability. You don’t need any prior experience to start, just a willingness to give it a go. Children thrive in our karate classes, learning discipline, focus, respect, and confidence in a supportive, structured environment. Parents often tell us how their child’s self-esteem and behaviour improve both at home and at school. Teens and adults find karate an excellent way to stay fit, reduce stress, and learn self-defence — all while developing a meaningful new skill. Whether you’re aiming to get back into shape or simply want to try something fresh, you’ll find our classes welcoming and rewarding. So, whether you’re looking for martial arts in Leicestershire, adult karate classes, or beginner martial arts classes, you’re in the right place.
