The Kung Fu classes helping kids with confidence
A martial arts centre in north London has been able to increase the number of classes it offers, as well as increasing support for families on low incomes, thanks to funding from BBC Children in Need.
Children and teenagers at the Shaolin Temple Cultural Centre in Enfield learn the martial art of Kung Fu with a master who is an Iranian refugee. The young students say it helps them with their mental health – and for those who are neurodivergent, it is a brilliant discipline to boost focus and communication.
