The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Martial arts for kids covers styles such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Muay Thai and mixed martial arts (MMA). In BJJ children learn to grapple on the mat - holding, escaping and controlling a partner - while Muay Thai teaches striking with fists, elbows, knees and kicks on pads. MMA blends the two. Classes are built around warm-ups, drilled techniques and partner work supervised by a coach, and they build coordination, strength, focus and confidence, along with the habit of listening and waiting your turn. Many clubs take children from about age 3 or 4 in playful, games-led classes, then move them into more technical groups as they grow.

Who it's for

Children aged 3-12 on the kids' programme (the academy's programmes page groups them 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12; the current Le Meridien timetable lists Jiu-Jitsu classes for ages 3-4, 5-7 and 8-12), with a separate teens' programme for ages 13-17. Classes are mixed gender and the programmes are described as open to all experience levels.

What to expect

Start with the free kids' trial class, booked by WhatsApp on +971 56 321 1555. Pick the class that matches your child's age on the timetable - for example the 4:30PM weekday Kids Jiu-Jitsu for ages 5-7 - and the gym has free parking, showers and lockers on site. The timetable lists some adult BJJ classes as Gi and others as No-Gi, but it does not say what children wear, so ask the provider what to bring and whether a gi is needed before the first session. Membership plans renew automatically and need 30 days' notice to cancel, so check the terms before signing up.
