Junior Kickboxing & BJJ

Teach kids respect, self-control and discipline

Split into age groups, our mini (for 4-6 years old) and junior (for 7-11 years old) classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and kickboxing are fun, structured and taught by professional, DBS-checked coaches.

10 benefits your kids will get from learning martial arts

1: Develop discipline

Today, kids are so used to receiving instant gratification that lessons in restraint and discipline aren’t always easy to come by. Martial arts, on the other hand, will teach them the power and reward of patience and discipline.

2: Build social skills

Kids who don’t always thrive in social environments may find it easier to make new friends in a room filled with peers who share a common interest. Those in the playground may not always have much common ground, but martial arts helps build camaraderie with a shared pursuit.

3: Get fit and active

Enrolling an inactive child in a physically challenging pastime (like BJJ or kickboxing) gives them an enjoyable activity that inspires them to keep moving, and discourages a sedentary lifestyle.

4: Increase self-esteem

Confidence comes with achievement. Through martial arts, your child’s self-esteem will get a boost with every new move they master, and with every belt they earn.

5: Respect adults and peers

In today’s culture, kids don’t always respect parents, adults or authority figures. When they come to our classes, our coaches will teach them respect as much as martial arts techniques.

6: Encourage non-violent resolution

Martial arts isn’t about violence. Defensive styles like BJJ and kickboxing teach kids peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution skills, emphasising the importance of avoiding physical altercations.

7: Set and achieve goals

When kids strive for new belts, they are learning valuable lessons about setting and achieving their goals.

8: Improve listening

To master techniques and advance through the belt ranks, kids need to have superior listening skills. Kids who struggle paying attention will benefit from the verbal instruction and one-on-one training we offer in our classes.

9: Value teamwork

Whether they’re breaking boards or sparring new techniques, teamwork plays a crucial role in our classes. Working together to learn new things and accomplish goals is a vital skill we teach in our classes.

10: Learn lessons for life

Confidence, fitness and discipline from our classes can help kids socially and academically, improve behaviour at home, and provide positive life lessons they carry into adulthood.
