Martial arts for children in Belgrade

Karate, judo, taekwondo and aikido clubs that take children. Everything here is from each provider's own page, with the date we read it. No prices, no timetables.

Seven providers in Belgrade publish, on a page of their own, that they teach a martial art to children. Three of the international schools in this guide also run it themselves — BIS, EFB and London Gates — which is the half of the picture no activity directory carries.

Not one of these seven states a language of instruction on its own site, so there is no column for it. What that means, and what to ask instead.

We do not publish prices, timetables or term dates for any of these, even where the provider publishes them. They change every term, and an out-of-date class time is worse than none at all. Every row links to the provider's own page, which is where the current schedule lives.

Taken from each school's own activities page. A school is absent from this table either because it names nothing in this category or because it publishes no list at all — which schools publish one is set out on the index.

What this page does not tell you

Three things, deliberately. What it costs — the same rule the rest of this guide follows, and for the same reason: a price we copied in September is a wrong price by spring. When the classes are — timetables are rebuilt every term. Whether there is a place free — only the provider knows, and only today.

What we can tell you is that the provider exists, that they say they teach children, what ages they say they take, and where. That is the part that stays true long enough to be worth writing down.

Questions families ask

Which martial art starts youngest?

Karate. Karate klub Japan takes children from four and Karate za decu runs a group from three. Aikido and judo generally start at four or five.

Are these clubs spread across the city?

More than any other category here. Several run in a dozen or more primary school halls across different neighbourhoods, so there is usually one close by.

Do any of the international schools teach a martial art?

Yes — the schools that do are listed on this page, including one that publishes wushu and one that publishes karate and capoeira.
