Clear local guidance
Practical guidance for parents and beginners, written around the programmes and questions Martial Arts Lifestyle receives.
Choose Ladies Only Kickboxing if a women-only group and a kickboxing-focused, energetic format matter most to you. Consider Adult Kung Fu if you want the academy's broader 13+ martial arts route using traditional and modern training methods. Both welcome beginners; confirm contact, equipment, current times and group details before trying a class.

Both a parent and a teenager aged 13+ fit Martial Arts Lifestyle's published Adult Kung Fu age range. The public information does not confirm that relatives can attend the same current session or work as partners, so include both names and ages in one enquiry and wait for the academy to confirm the arrangements before travelling.

Age three is within Martial Arts Lifestyle's published 3-5 Ninja Tykes range, so your child is eligible to try the class. Readiness is individual: use the free class to see how they respond to the instructor, group and short activities, then ask what the academy recommends rather than treating one visit as a pass-or-fail test.

Yes. Martial Arts Lifestyle lists age-based programmes from age 3 to Adult Kung Fu at 13+, all at its North Petherton venue. Siblings may therefore have suitable programmes at one location, but a complete timetable and simultaneous classes are not published. Confirm each child's group and whether visits can be coordinated.

Yes. Martial Arts Lifestyle presents its North Petherton Tai Chi class for different ages and fitness levels, using gentle, flowing and controlled movement. A complete beginner should still confirm that the current session is accepting newcomers and discuss any balance, mobility or health consideration before booking a free class.
Read the guide →Martial Arts Lifestyle's Ladies Only Kickboxing is an adult women-only class that combines kickboxing technique with energetic fitness work. Beginners are welcome, but because the academy does not publish a complete timetable, equipment list or session-by-session format, confirm the current class and what to bring before your free visit.
Read the guide →Yes. Martial Arts Lifestyle currently lists Adult Kung Fu for ages 13+, including people with no previous martial arts experience. A teenager and parent should still confirm the suitable session, how the mixed-age class works and any practical or safeguarding questions before attending the free class.

Choose a class that clearly matches your child's age, welcomes beginners and lets you see how the teaching and group feel before committing. For ages 8-12, Martial Arts Lifestyle's local option is Junior Kung Fu; use the free class to observe the environment and ask about safeguarding, progression and current practical details.

If your child is four or five, both programmes may fit by age. Ninja Tykes is the early-years introduction for ages 3-5, while Little Dragons introduces kung fu foundations for ages 4-7. The best choice depends on the class structure that suits your child now, so use a free class and the instructor's recommendation rather than age alone.

Your first class is a chance to meet the instructor, see the venue and try beginner-friendly activities at your own starting level. Wear comfortable sports clothing, bring a drink and arrive with enough time to settle in.
