Our Core Skills Programme Builds Focus, Confidence, and Resilience While Keeping Kids Active and Engaged
Parenting a child in this age group is a whole new adventure. They’re intellectually curious, eager to learn, and starting to mature emotionally. But let’s face it, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with their boundless energy, growing independence, and occasional struggles with focus or self-control.
Your child sometimes reacts poorly when things don’t go their way.
They avoid taking responsibility and might shift blame to others.
You want them to channel their curiosity and energy into something positive and meaningful.
Maybe your child struggles to handle disappointment or gets frustrated when things don’t go their way. Maybe they avoid taking responsibility or tend to blame others instead. You’re not alone if you’ve noticed these behaviours, it’s completely normal at this stage of development. But what if there was a way to guide them toward growth and success in a way that’s fun, engaging, and positive?
That’s exactly where we come in!

“I recently had my 1-2-1 introductory session here with Sensei Dee & it was absolutely brilliant! It was the perfect introduction to help me get started as an adult beginner with no previous experience. Dee was fantastic, she really made me feel at ease during the whole process which gave me the confidence I needed to move forward into her weekly classes. I look forward to getting started!”
“I recently completed my intro sessions with sensei Dee who was brilliant and understanding about some physical limitations when training. Just finished my first session and it felt great. Genuinely fun whilst pushing me to get better and feeling comfortable the whole time. Cannot wait for the next few sessions”
“I have signed my son up for children’s class last year. I was impressed with the mixture of techniques and the fact that Sensei Dee has child psychology under her belt! As I was observing how children develop their skills and followed Solo on social media I gave it a go with a 6 weeks course and I love it! Adults class is for all abilities and you almost feel like it is 1 to 1 the way they teach at Solo. I highly recommend giving Solo a go”
“My son had a placement evaluation last week and his first session week commencing 24th jan. He thoroughly enjoyed his first session and came out beaming with pride with his confidence stripe. I chose solo for the primary basis that it is based on child development and promoting positive social and emotional well-being as well as the physical development. I can’t wait to see how my son develops from accessing solo sessions.”
“I Just got my son enrolled for physical fitness, to build confidence. I got recommendation from my friend. I have to say it is the best decision I have taken. My son is so happy and excited for the next class. For the first time he went to bed on time, no restless sleep. It is the best decision I took and I will continue taking my son there. I highly recommend solo martial arts for kids and adults.”
‘Visited this evening for an introduction and my Son totally loved it! He is so excited to start next week. Dee really listened to what we wanted to get out of joining the Academy and really put him at ease by being so friendly and approachable. She made him feel like he could do it – which as a parent was the most amazing thing to see and observe! Just phenomenal! What an exciting chapter this is going to be. I would highly recommend – 5*”
