RANGE is a boxing and martial arts gym on Bluewaters Island, in Building 15-SJ. It teaches boxing, kickboxing, MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling and fitness, as one-to-one personal training, sessions with a partner, or mini-groups of up to four, so the coach sees everyone. The gym describes itself as a martial arts club with a structured programme and an app: members' sparring is recorded on video, techniques are confirmed with the coach, and a rank builds up for each discipline. Most of the website is written for adults, with goals like getting fit, losing weight or learning to fight. Its terms and conditions do list kids classes, which a parent or guardian signs up for, declaring any medical condition relevant to martial-arts training. Ages, times and prices for children are not on the site, so message the gym on WhatsApp before you visit to ask what it runs for your child's age.

The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling teach a child to move with control: stance, footwork, balance, punching and kicking technique, and in grappling styles how to fall safely, hold a position and escape. A beginner session usually starts with a warm-up and skipping, moves on to technique drills on pads and bags, and ends with stretching. Sparring comes much later, once the basics are solid, and with protective gear. Children gain fitness, coordination, focus and confidence, and learn to follow a coach's safety rules. Starting ages vary a lot between gyms and styles, so ask the coach what suits your child.

Who it's for

The gym's discipline pages are written for adults, from complete beginners to experienced fighters. Kids classes are listed in the terms and conditions, with a parent or guardian enrolling the child and declaring any relevant medical condition. Age bands for children are not published: ask the gym.

What to expect

The boxing page describes a typical session: a warm-up and skipping, then technique (stance, footwork, punches), then work on bags, pads and the speed bag, and finally stretching and a cool-down. Sparring is only for those who have mastered the basics, and the MMA page says it is introduced gradually with protective gear. The boxing page says equipment is included, so you just come in sportswear. Each discipline page offers a trial session for 75 AED, one-to-one with a coach; the site does not say whether that applies to children, so ask when you book. A parent or guardian signs the membership agreement for a child.
