WELCOME TO MARTIAL ARTS HEROES
INSPIRING AND DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF EVERYDAY SUPERHEROES





What is Martial Arts Heroes?
MARTIAL ARTS HEROES IS A FRESH, INNOVATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME CREATED FOR TEACHERS/COACHES/PARENTS WHO WANT TO TEACH AN INSPIRATIONAL AND REWARDING PHYSICAL EDUCATION & LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMME, THAT ALIGNS WITH THEIR CURRICULUM AND VALUES.
Our Heroes characters are unique with their Super Skills (martial arts based), Superpowers (life skills and home tasks) and their own personal story. All of which combined with children’s love of superheroes, means you have a powerful and unique programme, that develops the whole child, physically, mentally, socially and supports parents too.
Developed by myself and my son, we are the co-founders and multiple, award-winning martial arts school owners, who fully appreciate the challenges, time and effort it takes to develop and create a curriculum with a real ‘WOW’. It can be quite the challenge for even the most creative of teachers, coaches or instructors.
And that’s why we developed the Martial Arts Heroes programme…
Was it easy? No
Did we have to do EVERYTHING from scratch? Yes
Did it cost a lot of time, effort and money? Yes
And we did that, so you don’t have to!
You’ll have access to a first-class programme and support without having to spend the significant amount of time, money and effort it took us. No more staring at the wall or a blank sheet of paper trying to think up lesson plans, no more wondering “how will I engage the kids in their lessons today?” It’s all done for you, which means you can go straight to the good part – helping the children learn.
By incorporating different skills from a variety of martial arts and the fresh, eye-catching brand and syllabus, the programme appeals to not only the children, but teachers, instructors and parents too.
