All Levels Gi Class (Kids and Teens)

Followed by our Judo class at 1000-1100, an great combo!

Empire Grappling

Liam 🥇 🥉
Louie 🥈🥈

Liam competed the day before Empire and had a tough day. Bounced back with a great attitude and managed to get gold the next day at Empire.

Louie took double silver, with one of his categories being against someone nearly two years older than him. Incredibly tough task

Excellent attitude and effort from both boys.

Over the weekend we kicked off our very first Kids & Teens MMA class. The mats were busy with a wide range of ages, from our younger athletes right through to teens, all learning together in a safe and structured environment.

It was great to see so much energy, effort, and enthusiasm in the room for our launch. MMA is an amazing way for kids to build confidence, fitness, and real martial arts skills that can be carried into all areas of life.

If your child is curious about martial arts or looking for something new, now’s the perfect time to get started. Classes are open to all levels — no experience needed.
