ESKA – Norfolk's Premier Karate Club

SEN Class

What is our SEN Class?

We run a Special Educational Needs (SEN) class at The Dojo Norwich every Friday from 5:00pm – 6:00pm for children aged 6 years +.

This class is supported by funding awarded through Norfolk County Council’s Family Hubs Programme.

This is a dedicated session designed to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where individuals with additional needs can experience the many benefits of Karate.

These benefits include

Improved Focus and Coordination

Karate helps develop motor skills, balance, and concentration.

Boosted Confidence and Self-Esteem

Students will build confidence in their abilities and gain a sense of achievement.

Physical Fitness and Fun

Classes are engaging and promote healthy movement in a way that’s enjoyable and tailored to individual abilities.

Social Interaction

A friendly atmosphere fosters new friendships and teamwork among participants.

Life Skills Development

Learn self-discipline, respect, and perseverance in a supportive setting.

All content taught within this class will be adapted to ensure everyone feels comfortable, included, and able to progress at their own pace.

Gradings

Our SEN class provides students with a full grading progression through the belt system by demonstrating what they have learnt in class.

We offer two grading options for our SEN Class students.

SEN Class Gradings – these gradings take place during our grading months (March, June, September, December) within one of the regular SEN Classes (please note this session runs slightly longer than normal on grading days). Students will demonstrate their Karate within the familiar group setting with an examiner present to assess their performance in the supportive and structured environment of their usual class.
Private Gradings – these gradings are ideal for students who benefit from quieter settings, prefer 1:1 attention, or are unable to attend the SEN Class Grading. These sessions provide a calm, personalised grading experience. Private Gradings are available throughout the full grading month (subject to availability).

You can view upcoming dates on our Calendar. For more information on the grading process, visit our Gradings Page.
