Talk to us about starting your child in our class, or better yet just bring along to one of the kids classes .
Our instructors are Fully Trained, First-Aid certified, CRB Checked and insured to teach children.
With several dedicated coaches on the mat there is plenty of supervision and support. The Fighting Arts Academy kids class started as a way for our coaches to introduce their own children to the martial-arts (serious skills in a family friendly environment). Since then it has gone from strength to strength.
Building Real Skills While Having Loads of Fun
We use fun and games to teach the kids the basic fundamental movements that will be the foundation for their mixed martial arts training as they get older.
They will learn to work with and help other children, as well as getting used to close physical contact with other children in a safe controlled environment. They will gain confidence and learn important social skills too, as well as learning to defend them selves.
This is a fun and friendly class were your child will learn at their own pace and be given the chance to grow and learn how to make right choice and decisions. They will build relationships and learn how to communicate with others. Each child is treated in a way that meets their learning abilities and needs to ensure we can receive the best response from them.
At The Fighting Arts Academy, we want to make Mixed-Martial Arts for Everyone.
Kids classes cater from around 4 years to around 14 years old. From 15(ish) onwards (or by explicit instructor invitation) we encourage our younger members to participate in our Adult Muay Thai or Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes.
Our kids classes are incredibly popular with both boys and girls. We are happy to work with children that have physical, behavioural and learning difficulties and will always do our best to work with parents to help and support.
We are incredibly proud of the our Fighting Arts Academy kids.
We have been awarded team trophies in high level competition, have taught children who have gone on to win British, National and European Championships and now have several assistant instructors (now adults!) who started their own martial-arts journeys in our kids classes!
