The United Kingdom is experiencing a significant rise in the number of youth who participate in activities leading to crime or personal destruction. Many experts agree that, all youth are potentially at risk.” The alarming number of school dropouts, illegal drug use, gang involvement, and teen pregnancies evidences this fact.

If the youth of today are to become the parents, teachers, and leaders of tomorrow; positive intervention and prevention programs must be developed and implemented. The Traditional Martial Arts Budokai Sports and Physical Fitness Program has been designed to re-focus negative and destructive behaviour into something positive while teaching self-confidence, pride, discipline, and respect for the rights of others. Our program stresses academic success and physical fitness.
