For your child’s first trial class, just bring comfortable sports clothes (t-shirt and shorts or tracksuit) and a water bottle. We provide all necessary equipment including protective gear. As your child progresses, you may want to invest in a martial arts uniform (gi for BJJ) or specific gear, but this isn’t required for the trial class.

Pricing varies based on the number of classes per week and commitment level. Contact us at (042) 311 1999 for current kids pricing and family discounts. Your child’s first trial class is always free!
Each martial art offers unique benefits for children.

We recommend trying different classes to see what your child enjoys most. Many kids train in multiple disciplines for well-rounded development.
Martial arts builds confidence through achievement and mastery of new skills. Children learn to set goals, work hard, and overcome challenges. The structured environment teaches discipline, respect for instructors and peers, and self-control. These life skills transfer to school, home, and social situations, helping children become more confident and well-rounded individuals.
Yes, martial arts is excellent for bullying prevention. We teach children to walk with confidence, use strong body language, and verbally de-escalate situations. Physical techniques are taught as last resorts for self-protection only. Most importantly, martial arts builds the inner confidence that often prevents children from being targeted by bullies in the first place.

This timeframe allows for proper warm-up, technique instruction, practice, and cool-down while maintaining children’s attention and engagement. Classes are structured with variety to keep kids interested and learning throughout the session.
Yes, parents are welcome to watch classes, especially during the initial trial period. We have viewing areas where parents can observe their children’s progress. We find that some children focus better without parental observation once they’re comfortable, but we’re flexible based on each child’s needs and parent preferences.
