Kids of All Backgrounds and Abilities Welcome

Our experienced instructors are trained to work with kids of all abilities, including those with neurodiverse needs, creating a safe space where every child feels seen, validated and supported. We also separate children by age so that training is appropriate and tailored to their development:

- Kids Krav (ages 5–8): Fun, foundational self-defence, balance, gross- motor skills, personal space management,  and listening skills.
‍
- Kids Krav (ages 9–11): More advanced self defence techniques, decision-making, focus and self-discipline. 

For younger kids, we also offer Kinder Krav for ages 3–5. These sessions include activities and games that enhance your child’s physical development, balance, coordination and spatial awareness – all the fundamentals for learning Krav Maga. 
‍

Structured Learning With Strong Foundations

With a high instructor-to-student ratio, each child receives the attention, guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.

Through engaging and interactive lessons, your child will learn valuable skills while also reinforcing important values such as:

- Self-respect
- Anti-bullying strategies
- Emotional regulation and resilience
- Understanding when it is appropriate — and not appropriate — to use what they’ve learned

As your child grows, they can continue their journey with us through Teens Krav (12–15) and then into Adult Krav Maga (16+), ensuring a smooth and supportive progression at every stage.

How is Krav Maga different from other martial arts for kids?

Down Aroow Image

Krav Maga stands out because it’s built around real-world self-defence, rather than competition . It's designed to be accessible, empowering and easy for kids to learn. Our classes cover things like: 

- Practical skills they can use to stay safe in everyday situations 
- How to recognise danger and create space to get help 
- Simple, instinctive movements rather than complex patterns 
- Confidence, resilience, and problem-solving under pressure

What should my child wear to their first class?

Down Aroow Image

Your child can wear:

- Comfortable gym clothes (shorts/leggings and a t-shirt)
- We train with bare feet but your kids can keep their socks on if they prefer 
- A full water bottle

No special gear or outfits are required; simply come with a positive attitude and a willingness to have fun.

Do you offer kids boxing or jiu jitsu classes?

Down Aroow Image

We focus on kids’ Krav Maga, which covers striking, movement and practical self-defence. While it includes elements similar to boxing and jiu-jitsu, it is not a traditional boxing or BJJ program. Instead, our training emphasises real-life skills, confidence, awareness and safe decision-making.

Is there a free trial class?

Down Aroow Image

Even better! We offer a two-week, obligation-free trial for $40.  Your child gets two weeks of unlimited Krav Maga classes so they can experience the class, meet the instructors, and see if it’s the right fit.
