Family Karate Preston

“Be a Leader. Not a Follower.”

Hi there! I’m Robert Salter, and together with my wife Katie, we run Family Martial Arts Centres—a place built by families, for families. As parents ourselves, we truly understand the challenges kids face growing up, and we’re here to support them every step of the way.

At our centre, your child will have a blast learning exciting Karate skills. But what we teach goes far beyond kicks and punches!  We’re all about helping kids build confidence, stay active and healthy, learn practical self-defence, and develop Life and Leadership Skills that will benefit them in everyday life.

Our goal is to help your child grow stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally—in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment. Most importantly, we focus on personal leadership skills: giving children the confidence to

  • say no to peer pressure
  • make smart choices
  • choose good friends
  • and always strive to be their best

How Quickly Will You See Results?

You can expect to see improvements in health, physical fitness, and mental wellbeing within just 30 days. As your techniques improve, so will your confidence.

If achieving a Blackbelt is your goal, we can guide you all the way. However, the main objective of karate is to perfect the art form and strive for personal improvement, leading to self-perfection. This is often a long-term, if not lifelong, journey, making karate a way of life.

For students with ADHD, karate can help improve focus, concentration, organization, and planning. Progress is often noticeable after just a few sessions.

Boost Your Physical and Mental Wellbeing

Karate offers numerous physical benefits and boosts mental health, self-esteem, and confidence. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner, an adult beginner, or a child wanting to learn karate, this martial art allows you to set targets and achieve goals. The coloured belt ranking system promotes self-discipline, motivation, and a sense of achievement.
