A fantastic Environment
As a family of beginners we have never felt out of place. Or not as good as the more advanced pupils here. A fantastic environment and Steve Sensei is especially great at morale boosting for all ages.

Teaches so many valuable life lessons
This is the best thing we could ever have ever signed our boys up to. Our youngest has gone from a timid little boy who would not speak to anyone , to being self confident keen to put himself forward for new challenges. A fantastic club with a warm welcome and teaches so many valuable life lessons.

One of the best decisions we ever made
Enrolling our daughter in karate was one of the best decisions we made. Karate training helped her not only in her physical development, but also largely increased her self-confidence and self-discipline, which helps her at school and in solving difficult situations on a daily basis. We are proud that our daughter can be part of the Samurai team and grateful to Sensei for his enthusiasm, the knowledge and skills he shares, as well as his individual approach to each student. Absolutely amazing Sensei.

Samurai is an excellent school
Samurai is an excellent school, they really take care of their students and make sure everyone can learn at their own pace.
Grading is offered to students when they're ready to grade rather than rushing students through the belts. The training is challenging but always kept interesting.
My family have trained here for years and I'd recommend the school to anyone considering taking up Karate.

Practicing karate helped shape me into the adult I am now.
My first lesson at 16 I nearly didn't show up. I was so nervous. I've always been a nervous kid. Practicing karate helped shape me into the adult I am now. Sensei Steve and Susan and everyone always pushes you to do what you can do even when you believe it's not possible. I've become do much more confident in myself and my abilities because of the amazing teachers I have.
I had a break to go to uni and a back injury prevented me coming back for years, now I've started again and it was the best thing I've ever chosen to do. The team helps me in ways I can't help myself. I highly recommend this school if you are interested in beginning your journey. The kindness and spirit of everyone keeps you going.

Best Sensei . Who never had a doubt
My Dad achieved his brown belt in karate yesterday,
An achievement which is special to him as this is the colour where he left off in his 30’s only to smash it in his 70’s,
Fantastic words were spoken about this achievement from the absolute best sensei who never had a doubt, thank you to all of Dads in house friends and supporters also,

FULL REIVIEW
A review for Steve King – Samurai Karate school
Let me start with, what I’ve found commonly about reviews for business, clubs and groups is it’s normally written by a family member, friend or someone who will be rewarded for it. I met Steve for the first time when he was giving a karate class. I only know Steve for his Samurai Karate school.
Originally When I first approached a karate school it was because I wanted Chloe to develop her confidence around social situations and she had shown an interest in a karate group at school. However, when we went along to the karate group (It was nothing less than chaos) I found this group wasn’t for us.
Moving on and we arrived at Steve’s Samurai Karate school. I sat and watched as Steve taught the class. I could see within five minutes of being in the room that Steve had a great connection with all the children in the room, he knew the strengths and weaknesses of the children and throughout the class he developed their techniques, explained how and why you should do it the way he was saying.
Steve developed the children’s confidence and self -esteem. He certainly broke down Chloes walls of anxiety and lack of confidence
Every lesson, parents are welcome to watch, and you can see exactly what is being taught and the theory behind it all. Steve shares his wealth of experience, explaining all of what he has done, practiced, including mistakes and how he has learnt from those
Steve wants the children to be the best they can be, not just in the Dojo when he’s teaching but when they leave. He implores endless positive life lessons such as being resilient, never giving up, respect and believing in yourself.
Steve is full of passion and offers children and adults the opportunity to practice karate in a safe space.
It’s not a game, it’s a Japanese martial art. Since sitting in his lessons, I have learnt so much about children’s developing bodies and what they should and shouldn’t be doing, as it can cause so much damage, for example not using blockboards to punch and dangerous techniques which will end up causing injuries. I had no idea, and you don’t know what you don’t know.
So to bring this review to a close, if you want someone that has thirty plus years’ experience, is passionate about the process of teaching Karate, has a great understanding of how to teach, you want your child’s confidence to bloom and have a lot of fun in the safe, well planned structured lesson, then Samurai Karate school is the place you want to be. It’s so much more than a Karate school! You won’t be sorry you turned up!
