The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Mixed martial arts gyms usually teach children one discipline at a time rather than full MMA. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is ground grappling: kids learn to take an opponent down, hold a safe position and escape, using leverage rather than strikes. Gi classes are done in the traditional kimono, No-Gi in a rash guard and shorts. Kids kickboxing teaches punching, kicking, footwork and defence, usually on pads and bags. Both build balance, coordination, fitness and confidence, and grappling in particular teaches kids to stay calm under pressure. Children are grouped by age, and at some gyms the youngest classes start from age 3.

Who it's for

Children from age 3. The timetable groups BJJ 1 Kids and Mini Falcons at ages 3-7 and BJJ 2 Kids at ages 8-12; Kickboxing Kids and Kids No Gi are marked all levels. The gym's martial arts page describes its kids jiu-jitsu as for children and teens aged 5-9 and 10-15, so confirm which group suits your child when you book. Adults have separate classes, including a Ladies Muay Thai class.

What to expect

According to the gym, each kids jiu-jitsu class runs through a mobility warm-up, technique drills, sparring and games, with partner drills and team-building exercises so children learn together. Gi classes are trained in the traditional kimono; No-Gi classes use a form-fitting rash guard and grappling shorts, and kickboxing uses gloves and hand wraps (the gym sells all of these on its site). There are showers and a toilet on site. Trial classes, prices and what beginners should wear on day one are not published - ask the provider when you book.
