Quick answer
For children's classes, use the student's current school stage as well as age. For ages close to a programme boundary, or where additional support may be needed, contact ZKS rather than guessing.

Each programme link explains the class purpose, content and age-specific approach. Use this Help Centre article to choose the likely route, then read the programme page before requesting the trial.
Boundary ages: school stage, development, class availability and individual need may affect the best placement. ZKS may recommend a different suitable class after speaking with you or observing the trial.
Students aged 16 and over
Adult and older-teen options include ZKS Taijutsu and Havoc Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling. These programmes have different timetables, clothing and introductory arrangements, so check the programme information and confirmation rather than relying only on the children's trial guidance.
View the current class timetable. If the student is 16 or 17 and you are unsure about an adult training environment, contact ZKS before requesting the trial.
