Our Goals

SAS supports the Every Child Matters Program and Community Cohesion

By working with the Government’s Every Child Matters vision for young people, ‘SAS’ wants every child and young person to be fit, passionate and confident with no limits on what they can achieve in life.

FITNESS
Through our training programmes and Chi Kung (energy cultivation) exercises, we aim to improve on young peoples’ fitness and their mental/emotional well-being. We demonstrate the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to young people and show how maintaining it can be fun.

AWARENESS
By teaching self protection skills through the Wing Chun kung fu, we encourage young people to be more confident, more tolerant and how to deal with negative influences: i.e. peer pressure. We help young people to deal with bullying and to develop a greater tolerance for others and to deal with negativity, as not to resort to violence.

CONFIDENCE & PASSION
We want young people to have a passion to learn and achieve. Through the ASDAN and NVQ courses and kung fu, they will gain the confidence to excel through other mediums of education and arts, i.e. sports instructor training, mentoring, martial arts instructing, etc.

COMMUNITY VALUES
We want young people to inject life and energy back into the communities they are a part of. ‘SAS’ encourages children and young persons to abide by the law and demonstrate positive behaviour. Through peer tutoring they learn to teach and encourage others, organise events; including talent shows, festivals and demonstrations for their respective boroughs. By involving students in the plan and management of their own events, we instill a sense of ownership and pride in their collective achievements.

PERSERVERENCE & DETERMINATION
We support young people, whatever their individual needs. Through this support and positive encouragement they become more settled in their environment and enjoy the programme. By allowing them to engage with us, they develop their social skills. This boost will improve on their self confidence and other qualities will blossom; perseverance and determination, which will further enable them to overcome the barriers to learning and progress in life.
