A fun, structured introduction to karate and martial arts designed especially for pre-school and reception class children.
No payment required · No obligation
Little Tigers martial arts classes are carefully structured to suit the attention span, confidence levels, and physical development of pre-school children.
Each session follows a familiar routine, helping children feel safe, settled, and confident as they learn.
A gentle warm-up
Children begin with simple movement games that improve balance, coordination, and listening skills — all in a calm, supportive way.
Basic karate movements
We introduce fundamental karate techniques using age-appropriate drills that focus on control, posture, and focus rather than power or contact.
Confidence-building activities
Children practise following instructions, taking turns, and working independently, helping them build self-confidence and concentration.
Fun, structured games
Games are used to reinforce learning while keeping sessions enjoyable and engaging — without overstimulation.
A positive finish
Classes end on a high note, reinforcing good behaviour, effort, and respect.
Starting karate at Invicta is simple and relaxed. Your child has plenty of time to get comfortable with the classes before you decide whether you'd like them to continue.
Your child can attend as many appropriate Little Tigers classes as they like for two weeks. This gives them time to meet the instructors, become familiar with the class routine and enjoy karate without any pressure.
If your child enjoys their trial, they can join our Little Tigers Membership. The first month is £59, then £38 per month, with training available up to three times per week.
As they continue, your child develops confidence, focus, listening skills, coordination and routine through structured, age-appropriate karate classes.

Every child is different. Your 2-week free trial gives them time to settle in and gives you the chance to see whether Little Tigers feels right for them.
Many parents wonder whether their child is ready for karate at age four. Little Tigers is designed specifically for children aged 4–6, using short, structured activities to help develop confidence, listening skills, coordination and focus.
The emphasis is not on competition or intensity. It’s about creating a positive first experience, encouraging good behaviour and effort, and helping children feel comfortable and proud of what they achieve as they learn.
Not sure whether your child is ready? That’s exactly what the 2-week free trial is for. They have time to settle into the classes, and you can see how they respond before deciding whether to continue.
