🥋 A short story about consent…

I was teaching Black Belt Club last night, and the students were doing body sparring.

The way we teach sparring here at The Factory is that before you begin, you and your partner agree on the level of contact you’re both comfortable with. You communicate, you listen, and you respect each other’s boundaries.

About 20 minutes into the session, I reminded everyone that every time they change partners, they need to agree the level of contact again.

I also explained something really important…just because you agreed to something 20 minutes ago doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind now.
Maybe you’ve had enough. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you simply don’t feel comfortable with that level of contact anymore.

You can change your mind.
You can say, “No contact now, please,” and the other person respects that…that’s the important part…No questions…No pressure…No making someone feel bad for changing their mind 🥋

One of the students came over to me after class and said, “Lucy, that’s a really good way to teach consent!”
Absolutely, I thought, and how amazing that the takeaway from a sparring session was consent around their own bodies (we’re doing something right, I thought!) ❤️

Consent isn’t something children should only hear about when they’re older. We can teach it naturally from a young age, through boundaries, communication, respect and understanding that you are allowed to change your mind.

This is exactly why martial arts is about so much more than learning how to kick and punch, and why our classes aim to deliver a well-rounded programme that supports the child as a whole.

Yes, we teach physical skills, of course we do, but we’re also teaching young people how to communicate clearly, how to listen to others, how to respect boundaries, how to speak up when something doesn’t feel right and how to understand that another person’s “no” should always be respected without judgement and that’s what they should expect for themselves too.

Those are skills they can take far beyond the mats, and to me, that’s one of the most valuable things we can teach🥋❤️

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL… AND BACK TO ROUTINE! 🥋
Parents….who’s ready?! 😬

The start of a new school year can bring a lot of change for children.
A new teacher, a new class, new expectations, friendship worries, more homework, and after weeks of summer freedom… suddenly having to sit still and concentrate again 😅

For some children, going back to school is exciting…For others, it can knock their confidence or leave them feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unsure of themselves.

That’s where our martial arts classes can really help 💪

We currently have spaces for children aged 7–14, and here’s what we offer;

🥋 We help children build CONFIDENCE so they feel more comfortable believing in themselves.

🎯 We work on FOCUS and LISTENING… skills that carry straight back into the classroom.

💪 We teach RESILIENCE… learning that getting something wrong isn’t failure, it’s part of getting better.

🤝 We provide a positive social environment where children can make friends, feel part of a team, be themselves and learn that there are friendships to be had outside of school. 🏫

🧠 We give them a healthy way to burn off energy, reset after a busy school day and leave class feeling good about what they’ve achieved.

One of the most important things our martial arts classes can teach a child is, “I might not be able to do it YET… but I can keep trying.”

So if you’d love your child to start this school year feeling a little more confident, focused and capable, why not let them give martial arts a try?

📸 Take a look at some of our brilliant young martial artists in action!

📩 Message us to find out about classes for ages 7–11yrs or 11-14yrs and book their first FREE session.

New school year. New challenges. New confidence. 🥋💪

🥋 WOOHOO… CLASSES ARE BACK TODAY! 🥳❤️

After our summer break, we’re so excited to get back on the mats and see everyone again! 😁🥋

We can’t wait to welcome back those of you joining us today, and for those still enjoying the last of the summer holidays, we’ll see you very soon! ☀️❤️

A little reminder for parents…after having some time away, getting back into the routine of classes can sometimes feel challenging for children. You may even be met with a little resistance and that’s completely normal!

BUT…these moments can also be a great opportunity to teach something really valuable…we don’t give up just because something feels difficult 💪

Encouraging them to get back on the mats, even when they’re not quite feeling it, helps build resilience, commitment and confidence…skills that go far beyond martial arts 🥋❤️
Remember, you’re not on your own! If your child is struggling with coming back after the break, just drop us a message and we’ll be more than happy to help 😊

See you on the mats! 🥋👊
