About our Kids Program
Our Kids Program caters to 3 different age groups. 5-7 years old, 8-11 and finally our teens Class from 12-15. Led by European Champion Marcus Phelan, our kids programs will develop numerous qualities in your child. Their fitness, ability to defend themselves, their confidence, balance and coordination and much more. Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic alternative to the standard team based sports offered in schools. Your child will learn from one of the best Jiu Jitsu athletes in the country in a fun, safe and professional environment.
5-7 Years Old
The objective of this class is fun. Marcus has designed plenty of games, coordination drills and grappling basics to keep the kids focused, engaged and enjoying themselves!
8-11 Years Old
Still using fun and games, the goal of this class is to develop further your child’s motor skills and build some strength and fitness. This age group focuses on building good, safe grappling skills that will carry them through to the teen and adult age groups.
12-15 Teens Class
Structured much more similarly to an adults class. Our teens class has multiple elements from fitness, strength and gymnastic based warm ups, to clear and concise technical instruction and controlled sparring to finish.

Beginners Course
Begin your Jiu Jitsu journey by joining one of our renowned beginners courses. Every two months we begin a fresh 8 week cycle of our Beginners Course. Start alongside a group of others brand new to the sport and progress together from day one.
The course has 8 different time slots to choose from with early morning, evening and weekend options. It also has both gi (with the kimono) and nogi (submission grappling wearing shorts\tshirt) classes. We cover all the basics in detail throughout the course and the cost includes a brand new kimono and belt for you
Mixed Levels Classes
Our Mixed Levels classes are where you will head after our Beginners Program. Expand your technical knowledge and physical abilities while you progress through the belt ranks.
Train alongside European and World Champions!
Nogi Classes
Jiu Jitsu can be practiced with the Kimono (Gi) and without (NoGi). A faster paced version of Jiu Jitsu with some different techniques in play, we have classes specifically for Nogi training.
Open Mat
Open mat is one of our members favorite times in the week. Every Saturday and Sunday from 1-3pm the mat is free for all students to use as they wish.
Practice some techniques you learned during the week, do some sparring, or just chill and hang out! Always a good vibe and a packed mat.
