Introduction

Ninja Tots was set up by experienced Martial Arts Coach and Additional needs teacher, Shane. Culleton. Shane discovered the lack of activity groups in his local community, for kids and toddlers, under 4 years of age. Ninja Tots offers fun classes based around the movements and techniques offered in Martial Arts, but adjusted to cater for the toddlers and young kids, starting from 2. years of age and up to 5.

Shane wanted the classes to be fun based and interactive as well as helping young kids develop key life skills that would help them make the transition to school and other groups as they get older. The promotion of confidence, self esteem, self confidence and determination are deeply rooted in the core of our classes.

Our fun and play structured classes, captures children's imagination, guiding them while they learn how to move in different directions, learn how to stretch and become more flexible as well as learning dynamic movements, kicking and punching.

The classes cater for 2 age groups in particular; GROUP 1 is for 2-3.5 yrs of age and GROUP 2 is for 3.5 - 5 yrs of age.

Parents are an interactive part of our classes especially in the group 1 age category, taking part in the fun with their kids and building their relationship, through fun and positive interaction.

Sinead ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sent my 3 year old son down to Shane & the team, best choice I ever made, Shane is amazing with the younger kids especially teaching them not only kickboxing but how to be part of a team and participate in every aspect of the class.
My son who is now 4 years old looks forward to kickboxing every week asking me every evening 'is kick-boxing on today' loves it!
So happy he has found a sport he likes and it's all thanks to the amazing way Shane & his team include every single kid that walks into the gym.

My youngest joined, aged 3, loves going to Ninja Tots. The coaches are so passionate and energetic in the classes. Amazing team.
Michael ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I put my little girl into Ninja Tots, as she was shy and slow to interact socially with other kids. Ninja Tots has changed her in so many ways. She has become far more socially outgoing and has made some lovely new friends.
