Who Is The Kids Self Defence Program For?

This Program Is For Kids Aged 8-12

And... For Parents who want their Kids to learn to protect themselves

The Kids Self Defence Program teaches personal safety awareness, conflict avoidance and self-defence physical skills to avoid or deal with situations such as bullying, or other threats to your child’s physical safety.

For Parents who want their Kids to have more confidence

Kids who learn self-defence become more confident in the techniques they are taught as they progress through our program. But, more than this, the confidence they develop extends into all other areas of their life, helping them to confidently navigate today’s world.

For Parents who want their Kids to develop discipline and other key life-skills

More than just keeping your kids safe, our kids self defence program teaches discipline, respect (for themselves and for others), concentration, coordination, spatial awareness and self-control.

Our classes will improve your child’s mental health and can reduce general anxiety by giving them a more active lifestyle.

Having the skills to be able to keep themselves safe should they need to, will naturally boost their own self image and how they portray themselves to others.

What to Expect From Us…

  • Our permanent training centre in Dawley, Telford is conveniently located with the entrance on George Street Car Park, at the back of Tesco Extra on the High Street. Parking is free, as is complimentary tea and coffee that you can enjoy while watching your child’s class from our seated viewing area.
  • Our kids self defence classes are disciplined, yet fun and provide a safe and encouraging environment for your child to progress at their own individual pace. Our goal is for every child to leave every single one of their classes with a sense of accomplishment and self-belief.
  • Your child’s class will be tailored to support your child, regardless of their level of experience or current fitness. Children are encouraged and supported to take part in all aspects of the class, but are always able to speak to the Instructor if there is any part of the class that they are uncomfortable with.
  • The techniques that you’re child will learn will be taught from our structured syllabus, ratified by our Governing Bodies and will provide the opportunity to progress through our belt system along their journey to achieving their Junior Black Belt in KAPAP Krav Maga.
  • Your child will be taught by our experienced and supportive Instructors, who are fully insured and have been properly vetted through DBS Enhanced Checks. All our Instructors are First Aid and Safeguarding qualified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whereas most sport martial arts focus on preparing students for competition, our program focuses on preparing students for real-world situations where your child’s personal safety could be at risk. 

Conflict avoidance, break-away techniques (from being grabbed or held), situational awareness, knife awareness and UK self-defence law all feature in our program, as well as physical martial arts skills.

No. Although the vast majority of our our Foundation Program students continue on into the Junior Self Defence Program, we welcome and support students who have no previous experience of martial arts.

Initial stages of the syllabus focus on conflict avoidance and basic defences and strikes. Striking techniques are first practised without direct contact with a training partner. 

Only when your child is confident enough and comfortable to do so will they be introduced to light sparring under closely controlled professional supervision. Sparring is not a mandatory part of the program and your child is able to chose whether or not to take part in this element of a class.

Our kids self defence program will increase your child’s confidence, to reduce the risk of them becoming a target. 

It will increase their reaction speeds and personal safety awareness and, together with the self defence techniques that they will learn, will help them to successfully stop an attack and respond appropriately to the situation.

All of our programs are geared towards teaching personal safety awareness and realistic self defence skills that will help to ensure the safety of your child – skills that will stay with them for life. 

Competition fighting has rules, real-world self defence situations do not. Although there is an element of sparring in our programs, we do not train for competition fighting.
