Its Instagram lists karate, kalari (kalaripayattu, the martial art from Kerala), gymnastics, kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, yoga, fitness and Zumba. The club's 2026 Facebook posts show children's karate and kalaripayattu classes, most recently a kids' karate drill in September 2026. It also runs holiday camps for children: a winter camp over the 2025 winter break, a spring camp from 16 March to 3 April 2026, and a Kids Summer Camp for ages 3 to 15 at the Al Nahda 2 centre from 30 June to 29 August 2026, mixing karate, kickboxing, kalaripayattu, gymnastics, kids yoga, arts and crafts and games. Class times, junior age groups and fees are not published, so message the club to ask which children's classes run at Al Nahda 2.

The activity
Martial Arts, explained
Martial arts classes teach children a structured style, such as karate, kickboxing or kalaripayattu, through drills, forms and controlled partner work. Over time they build coordination, balance, discipline and self-defence skills. Most clubs use belts or gradings, so progress is easy to see, and mix fitness games in with technique. Younger children usually train in age-banded groups with shorter, game-based drills, while older children and teens add more conditioning and sparring. It suits a child who enjoys structure and a clear sense of progress, and many families choose it for focus and confidence as much as fitness.
Who it's for
Children and adults. The club's 2026 posts show children's karate and kalaripayattu classes, and its Kids Summer Camp 2026 took ages 3 to 15. Age groups for regular classes are not published, so ask the club which junior sessions suit your child's age. The website says everyone from beginner to athlete is welcome.
What to expect
The club describes its training as results-based, in a friendly but competitive atmosphere, with group classes and personal training alongside the martial arts. Its September 2026 karate video shows a children's class working through footwork drills on padded mats. Session length, fees and kit are not published. A September 2025 flyer from the Al Nahda 2 centre offered a free trial, and 2026 camp sign-ups came with a free uniform, so ask whether either still applies. The Google listing notes that appointments are required, so call or WhatsApp the club before your child's first class.
