The Lionhearts now have four children's clubs with over 100 children training, learning self defense, building character and developing a positive can-do attitude.The junior classes contain combined elements of Karate/ Kick boxing/ Taekwondo striking and Judo throwing and grappling giving a best of all arts approach.

Elite Martial Arts is a rapidly growing organisation and in the UK we now have more than 12 adult clubs with over 300 members (training in the Seishin Mizu Ryu style).
