Where and when is the class ?
Might Mites training takes place in the Jubilee Hall, Greenhill Road, Alveston on Fridays from 4:30 pm until 5:15pm
What is the age range ?
The recommended age range for this class is ages 5 – 9. However, if a child of 4 is both physically and mentally mature enough, they will be welcome. It is expected that any children in the class will be able to take themselves to the toilet, if necessary.
Older children can attend our seniors sessions (ages 10 years to adult) at Alveston Youth Centre on Monday evenings 7:30pm to 9:00pm
Do the classes continue during the school holidays ?
Yes they do. Children still need activities to do during the holidays.
What style of martial art is taught ?
Training is based on Taekwondo but elements of other styles are also included.
What are the levels of physical contact involved ?
Taekwondo is renowned as a heavy impact style but, at this stage of their development, children are not ready for this level of contact. Any sparring or partner work will be conducted on a strictly light-contact or non-contact basis.
What should my child wear ?
Please wear light, loose fitting clothing. Ideally, track-suit trousers and T-shirt. Also, as the hall has a hard floor, light training shoes or “daps” are recommended.
Uniforms can be purchased at a later date, when you are sure that your child is going to continue training.
Do parents need to stay ?
Parents are encouraged to stay and watch for the first lesson, to ensure that what is being taught is right for your child. From the second lesson, this is not necessary. The instructor is Criminal Records Bureau checked and the venue is child friendly. The children will be adequately supervised at all times.
How much does it cost ?
Training is £3.00 per session.
Membership is £15.00 per year. This includes personal accident insurance and registration with the Amateur Martial Association. Membership is a requirement from the second lesson onwards.
Uniforms are not a requirement but, as they are designed specifically for this kind of training, they are recommended.
Uniforms can be supplied at low cost for members : £13.50
