Junior Class

At Manchester Dojo we accept Junior Members from the age of 10 upwards.

The Junior Class is held every Sunday Morning 10:00 - 12:00. Junior members should arrive at least 15 minutes early to help lay the mat.

At the end of the class, Junior members are expected to put their practice mat away.

When your child first starts, they should wear loose fitting clothes such as jogging bottoms and t-shirt. If your child decides to continue with their training, you should look to purchase a Gi.
