Our Services

Cubs Kickboxing (age 4 - 7)
Our Cubs Kickboxing classes are a high-energy introduction to martial arts designed especially for younger children.
At this age, we focus on building strong foundations through movement, imagination, and structured fun. Each session develops coordination, balance, listening skills, and body awareness through exciting drills, partner activities, and confidence-building challenges.

Junior Kickboxing (age 7+)
Our Junior Kickboxing programme is designed for children ready to take their training to the next level.
These sessions focus on technical development, physical fitness, and mental resilience. Students refine their technique, improve strength and coordination, and begin to understand strategy, timing, and controlled sparring (where appropriate).
Daytime Home-Education Sessions
Our Home-Ed Kickboxing & Social Club is designed specifically for home-educated children who need structured physical activity, social interaction, and skill development during the daytime.
These session blend structured physical activity with space and time to socialise in a safe environment.

Personalised 1-1 Sessions
Our 1–1 Kickboxing Sessions provide personalised coaching designed to help your child progress and are an excellent way to take your child’s skills to the next level.
These sessions identify your child’s specific goals whether that’s preparing for a grading, improving a particular skill, or gaining confidence. Each session is then structured with those goals at the centre.
1-1s are also perfect for children who struggle in traditional class settings. With focused attention and a calm environment, your child can develop at their own pace without the pressure of a group.
