At Nemesis Martial Arts, our junior classes start from 8 years to 15 years. All of our classes start with a warm up program, where the children are given cardio vascular exercises along with stretching, press ups and sit ups. Following the warm up the rest of the lesson is spent on teaching kickboxing techniques, shadow sparring, pad work, sparring drills & Karate drills which include traditional Katas so that children understand all aspects of our chosen arts.… At the end of each lesson the children are asked to 'Pad Up” and take part in small sparring sessions, these are completely optional. There are ten belts in our curriculum and all of the students have to work hard to achieve the standards required to progress through to their Black Belt. Before any student is allowed to take a grading, they must first demonstrate that they can perform all of the required techniques for that belt, to a high standard. We do not believe in giving belts away, they must be earned through dedication and hard work. We find that this gives all of our students an immense feeling of pride as they attain the different colour belts. Students who wish to push themselves have the option to attend additional squad training sessions or if they wish they can compete at small novice competitions if they show willing, which can then prepare them for the larger competitions as their confidence and ability grows. At Nemesis we have created several British & World Champions from scratch which acts as testimony to the quality of the martial arts we teach. The club has been successful in attracting hard working, committed parents who have instilled in their children that being successful through hard work is the only way to live, as such, find Nemesis a logical choice for their children's extra curricula activity of martial arts.
