Asking for a friend of mine - Does anyone know a good Martial Arts class in Sheffield suitable for a 2 year old?

Above.

My support team leader wants to sign her toddler son up for an MA class in Sheffield, but he's not 2 till November the 14th.

Does anyone know any good classes for Karate or Taekwondo who teach kids that young? I'd ask my Taekwondo teacher but because Laura knows me, and is my support leader, it wouldn't be appropriate as they're not allowed to mix with me outside their official capacity as support staff.

I'll be guessing no.

We don't take any younger than 5/6, and at the moment our youngest is about 8. If there aren't a few of the same age, it can be really difficult for them to fit in. Also, their bones are still forming so any prolonged physical activity can be bad for them. They would need a very experienced trainer.

I'll message our senior trainer to see if he knows anybody.

I'm sure you're right, the insurance for teaching a 2 year old would be a nightmare for a start, if they were to get hurt, and they probably would at that age, the Parents would have a fit.

I've just heard back, and the answer is a resounding no.
