From October, 2011, the children at East End Primary School have been learning self defense as part of an after school programme, designed to develop discipline, promote and improve self confidence and respect.
Karate instructor Stacey Boxwell, who has been practicing Shotokan for more than 20 years, said the traditional Japanese martial arts form has been a part of many school curriculum's around the world, for many years.
"I have seen big changes in the kids and they are enjoying it," she said. "There has been a big difference. We get them to learn basic Japanese terminology and we go through a series of kicks, punches, blocks, combinations and stances. It is a way of getting them to use there entire torso in a controlled and disciplined way, which in turn, will help them in other areas of there lives."
On 20th April, the nervous students had their first grading, overseen by Sensei Turnbull, the regional instructor, who visited from Jamaica to conduct the testing.
"Everybody passed the test with flying colors, and an award ceremony was held at the school weekly assembly. Each child was awarded a certificate and a belt for passing their test," said Mrs. Boxwell proudly.
