Thoroughly enjoyable session for the children. Very clear about expectations of behaviour and continuously reinforced karate should only take place under supervision and importance of manners.

The karate sessions have been a huge success and have been eagerly joined by the children right across the school. The delivery is excellent, the manner and the relationship with the
childrenis extremely positive. The level of discipline and respect developing amongst the pupils is clear to see.
Hopefully Sensei Dervish will have a long term presence at Heybrook School.

Crompton Primary School
Crompton primary School enlisted the services of Sensei Dervish 3 and a half years ago to start a karate club to bolster its after school sports provision. Kaizen-do basis its instruction around values of politeness, courtesy, respect and discipline which tie in well with our own school values. The club has stood the test of time and proven to be a challenging and rewarding addition to the range of extracurricular clubs on offer at the school. Sensei Dervish instils the importance of a healthy lifestyle, which can play a vital role in the attitude of pupils, enabling them to improve and challenge themselves and helping to instil a lifelong love of sport.
Head Teacher, Martin Moore of Crompton Primary School
Hodge Clough Primary School
Kaizen-Do Karate has delivered after school clubs at Hodge Clough for some time now and this term I have used our SSP budget to deliver two PE lessons – one for Yr 3 focusing on respect, discipline and self motivation and one for Yr 6 to challenge them to ‘dig deep’ and work through the pain barrier to achieve their best. I don’t generally recommend coaches but his delivery style is great and the kids absolutely love the sessions.
Nicola Smith of Hodge Clough Primary School
Holy Family Primary School
Karate has been a huge success at Holy Family. Sensei has built up a great rapport with all the children and the children have been extremely responsive to his teaching. The pupils have shown improvements in many ways. They now show a passion for a greater range of sports and their energy has been positively channelled through the karate sessions. All pupils have grown in confidence and discipline.
Elizabeth Evans of Holy Family Primary School
Brimrod Community School
‘I am so pleased that we invited Sensei Dervish into our School to teach the children from year 1- 6 Karate. He has an excellent manner with the children. He is extremely reliable and is
doing a fantastic job of teaching the children to be respectful of the sport and each other. Each group is oversubscribed as word gets around and it is really helping to meet the healthy
schools agenda at our school. This is also a fun, creative & healthy way to extend our school curriculum’
Kay Whitfield – Year 6 teacher & sports coordinator – Brimrod Community School
Marland Hill Primary School
Kaizen-Do Karate & Marland Hill first joined forces in February 2009. Since then a group of 10 children have taken part in 2 programs, an initial 10 weeks followed by a further 6 weeks due to the first programs success. Each of the children who have taken part have benefited hugely from the energetic & enthusiastic teaching Sensei Dervish offers. From the start, the children felt more than comfortable around Sensei Dervish and the rapport he has developed with the children is clear for all to see. As a result of the training, not only has the general fitness of the children improved but there has been a noticeable levels of all involved. Watching the children, who before the programme began lacked that all important self confidence, perform knee strikes, snap kicks and mind boggling kata sequences is quite simply amazing. I am sure the partnership between Marland Hill & Kaizen-Do Karate will continue to be a huge success in the future.
Mr Nick Hudon, School Sports Coordinator, Marland Hill Primary School
Stanley Road Primary School
Kaizen-Do Karate offer outstanding value for money and all the children really enjoy each session and follow instructions carefully. There is excellent teaching across all ages and the
children don’t want the teaching to end. Sensei Dervish has been a good role model as well as a great instructor. He has taught the children to show discipline and respect to each other and themselves. We are definitely looking to have Kaizen-Do Karate and Sensei Dervish back in the near future.
Mr Jeff Markham, School Learning Mentor, Stanley Road Primary School
