We are a local Martial Arts school in Blackpool. We are a friendly club that does not accept any form of bullying! At Zen we teach people from the ages of 3 years and up. We have set classes for set age groups as listed below:
  • Munchkins (3 years - 4 years)
  • Little Dragons  (4 years - 7 years)
  • Juniors (8 years - 15 years)
  • Adults (16+ years)
​​We also offer other lessons including:
  • Self defence/Weapons (3+years including adults)
  • Fitness (3+years including adults)
  • Private/One-to-One sessions (3+ years including adults)
  • Body conditioning (Juniors and adults)
  • Ladies only classes (16+ years)
​We like to take students to tournaments throughout the year if they want too. But only if they and ourselves think they're ready for tournaments as we don't want to put them in if they're not ready just to get beaten up. That will knock their confidence. We want to help boost their confidence not knock it. 
We also take the children out for a nice party every Christmas just as a little treat to them to say well done which they all enjoy. There they get a meal and a drink for a small fee to book your place. 
We like to hand out regular awards to students as another way to say well done and also to help boost their confidence. We do monthly awards (student of the month etc.) and yearly awards (student of the year, best attendance, best fighter etc.) 
We help ALL students learn discipline, respect, co-ordination, balance and more. We have various girl and boy champions in the club as well as having 12 black belts.
