“My son and daughter have been attending Robson’s Family Karate since 2020 and their confidence and skills have grown so much. They love going every week and it is such a good activity for not only their physical health but also their mental health.”

Mini Ninjas

Half an hour, pitched at three-year-olds: listening, balance, coordination and the first shapes of karate.

Thirty minutes is deliberate — it is about as long as this age group can concentrate, and the class is built to use all of it. Children work on following instructions, moving on their own two feet, and the basic stances and strikes they will carry into Warriors at seven.

Runs at all three studios. Newry Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 4.30pm; Warrenpoint Tuesday 4.30pm and Thursday 5pm; Kilkeel Monday 5.30pm and Sunday 9.30am.

Warriors Karate

The junior class proper — forty-five minutes of technique, belt work and the discipline that comes with it.

Seven to twelve year olds only, so the pace and the language are theirs rather than shared with teenagers and adults. This is where the belt syllabus starts in earnest, and where most of the confidence parents describe in their reviews gets built.

Newry only. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 5.15pm.

Children of this age are also welcome in the Family Karate class, which runs at all three studios.

Family Karate

All belts, all ages from seven up. Parents and children grade through the same syllabus, in the same room.

Read More

Teenagers and adults train alongside juniors, beginners alongside black belts — which is how a family ends up training together rather than taking turns in the car park.

Kilkeel Monday 6.15pm and Sunday 10.15am; Warrenpoint Tuesday 5.15pm and 6.15pm, Thursday 5.30pm; Newry Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 6.15pm and Saturday 10am.

Newry also runs a sparring class on Saturday at 10.45am, open to everyone over seven.

Kickboxing with no men in the room. Every fitness level, no experience needed, no gi required.

A separate programme from the karate syllabus: striking, pad work and conditioning, for teenagers and adults. Several members came to it having never trained before, and the daytime session exists so that it fits around the school run.

Newry only. Wednesday and Thursday 7.15pm, Friday 10.30am and 7.15pm.

About The Academy

The Family Part
Is Not Decoration.

Robson’s runs karate and kickboxing at three studios across Newry, Warrenpoint and Kilkeel, under school owner and master instructor Jamie Robson. The Family class takes every belt and every age from seven up in the same room, so parents and children grade through the same syllabus rather than taking turns in the car park.

Members who want to go further move into the Junior Leadership Academy and the Instructor Training Program, and most of the team teaching on the mats today came up that way. Workshops run through the year, and classes are on Zoom as well as in the studio.

Joined in January thought I was too old to start this but master Robinson and miss Morgan have both been fantastic… if you’re thinking of starting this is the place to go very good instructors

3 children love attending class. They have learnt discipline, improved confidence, and created friendships. Excellent leadership and help available in and outside of class.
