Martial arts for kids 3 to 15
Kids today live on screens.
They're less active, less confident, and less prepared for the real world than any generation before them.
If your child struggles with focus, shyness, or standing up for themselves, you're not alone.

Martial arts for adults 16 and over
Want to do something active?
But most options feel boring, and there's no one to hold you accountable.
Something is missing, and another monthly membership you never use won't fix it.

Discipline
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
A grappling-based martial art.
You learn how to take someone down. Get to a strong position. Then submit them.
You learn to defend yourself using technique instead of strength.
That means it works for everyone, no matter your age, size or fitness level.
Discipline
Muay Thai
A striking and clinch-based martial art.
You learn how to punch, kick, elbow and knee.
You'll also learn how to clinch and trip an opponent.
That means you'll get fit and learn to defend yourself. All while staying on your feet.

Friends from day one
Your child trains with students who cheer each other on.
Many close friendships start here, so they feel part of the group.
-
Confidence beyond the mat
They learn to look people in the eye, speak up and stand up for themselves.
That confidence stays with them after each session.
Adults

Keep up with your kids again
Build strength and stamina without staring at a treadmill.
Stairs feel easier, energy lasts longer and clothes fit better.

Walk home without worry
Each session teaches practical ways to protect yourself or your family.
These are tested techniques that work under pressure.

Friends who notice you're gone
This is an academy where people know your name.
Training partners become friends and notice when you miss a session.
From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel incredibly welcome by Professor Pindi and the rest of the team. This is clearly a place where both beginners and experienced practitioners can grow and feel at home.

Let us get this out of the way
We're the most expensive academy in Coventry
We know. We've heard it. And honestly, we'll probably never be able to compete on price.
We don't run massive sessions, we don't cut corners on coaching, and we don't pack the mats to make the numbers work. That makes us expensive.
And we think that is the point
Thankfully expensive
Sessions stay small. Your coach knows your name, ability and limits.
It means clean mats, qualified instructors, and a place where nobody gets overlooked.
You trust us with yourself or your child. Some things should not be a bargain.
Training here, and training elsewhere
Drag to compare.

Common questions
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Most students start with no Jiu-Jitsu or martial arts experience.
Your first session covers the basics at a steady pace. A coach will guide you and help you settle in.
What age groups do you cater for?
We run age-based sessions from age 3, plus adult sessions from age 16.
See our kids pages or schedule for the right group and current session times.
What if I just want to try it once before committing?
That is why we offer a free trial session. You can meet the coaches and step onto the mats before you decide.
It is a simple way to see if the academy feels right for you or your child.
Is it safe? I don't want to get hurt.
Like any contact sport, Jiu-Jitsu carries some risk. We manage it with close coaching and a steady start.
You learn the basics first and only move on when you are ready.
There is a free session with your name on it
Walking in the first time is the hard part. Tell us you are coming, and we'll handle the rest.
