About Paladin Fitness Club

Paladin Fitness Club is a martial arts and fitness gym in Mirdif, next to the football academy between Mirdif City Centre and the sports society. Alongside adult, personal training and posture/rehab sessions, it runs dedicated kids' and teens' classes. The club's 2024 timetable shows boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai for 4-10 year olds and a separate group for 11-17 year olds most weekdays, plus BJJ Kids and a taekwondo kids/youth class. The kids' and teens' package also lists karate, MMA and functional training. The club is led by Jalal Seyedi, who says he started taekwondo at 13 and has spent four decades in boxing, kickboxing and fitness coaching, training people "from age of 5 to 80 plus". The club's own kids page talks about coordination, focus, discipline and confidence, with belt ranks marking progress. Sessions are bought as packs, from a single 120 AED session up to 60 sessions, which suits families who want to try one class before committing. It has 4.9 on Google from 141 reviews.

The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Martial arts cover a family of combat sports and self-defence styles. Striking arts such as boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai teach punches, kicks, knees and footwork, usually on pads held by a coach rather than by fighting each other. Grappling arts such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) work on the ground with holds and escapes, while taekwondo and karate are traditional kicking and striking styles with belt gradings. Children build coordination, balance, strength and stamina, and classes lean on listening, discipline and respect for the coach and training partners. Many clubs in Dubai start children from around four or five, in short, game-based sessions grouped by age.

Who it's for

Children and teens. The club's timetable groups kids' striking classes as 4-10 years and 11-17 years (one Tuesday slot is 11-14), with separate BJJ Kids and Taekwondo Kids/Youth classes. The packages page describes Kids Classes as 15 years and under and Adult Classes as 16 and above, so ask which group suits a 15-17 year old. Beginners are welcome; the site does not mention special-needs provision, so ask the provider.

What to expect

Kids' classes run in the late afternoon on the club's timetable: boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai for 4-10 year olds at 4:30 PM, with an older group at 5:30 PM. The club's photos show barefoot training on mats with gloves and coach-held pads. A single session is sold on its own (120 AED, valid one day, VAT inclusive, on the club's 2024 price list), so you can book one class before buying a pack. The site does not say what kit to bring or whether gloves are provided, so ask the provider when you message them. Adult members can also book a fitness assessment with a physiotherapist before starting a plan.
