Al Quoz

Underground Fight Club, or UGFC, is a fight gym in Goshi Warehouse City on 19D Street, Al Quoz Industrial Area 3.

MMA Club Junior and BJJ Club Junior are both for ages 8 to 15 and are taught by Coach Gerson, each twice a week at 5PM. Before those, MMA Striking classes run at 4PM for groups the site labels Kids and Youth, with a Saturday Kids class at 5PM.

The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Mixed martial arts (MMA) for children blends striking, taught through pads, bags and partner drills, with grappling. Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is the grappling side on its own: children learn to control a partner on the mat, escape holds and use positions rather than strength. Kids' classes usually open with a fun warm-up, then drill a few moves slowly and finish with games or light, supervised sparring. Parents often choose them for fitness, coordination, focus and confidence, and for learning to stay calm under pressure. Many clubs start children from about five or six.

Who it's for

MMA Club Junior and BJJ Club Junior are listed for ages 8 to 15. The site also lists MMA Striking - Kids and MMA Striking - Youth classes, without an age range for either, so ask the gym which group suits your child. The gym says no experience is needed and beginners are welcome. Boys and girls are not listed separately, and there is no published information on support for children with additional needs. The rest of the timetable is general boxing, Muay Thai, conditioning and BJJ classes, including a Ladies Muay Thai class.

What to expect

The site's first-visit route is simple: pick a class, message the gym on WhatsApp and come to train. It says it will reply with the first-visit details: what to bring, when to arrive and which class to try first. New members get their first week free; ask whether that covers the junior classes. The site gives a class cap of 12. It does not publish class length, kit rules or what children wear for the BJJ and MMA sessions, so ask the provider before the first class. The gym is in Goshi Warehouse City in Al Quoz, with matted floors and heavy bags.
