🥋 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒.

Ask someone who's trained for a few years what they remember most and it probably won't be every kick they learned.

It'll be the people.

The classes.

The competitions.

The trips.

The laughs.

And the friends they made along the way.

You might join martial arts because you want to learn Tae Kwon-Do...

But there's actually a lot going on in a Ninja Kidz class. 👀

Our 4–6 year olds are learning how to:

🥋 Listen and follow instructions
🎯 Focus on a task
🤝 Take turns and work with others
💪 Improve balance and coordination
⭐ Build confidence trying new things
👊 And, of course, learn martial arts!

At this age, we don't expect children to stand perfectly still for 45 minutes — they're 4, 5 and 6!

We want them 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬, while gradually introducing the discipline and structure of martial arts.

For many of them, Ninja Kidz is their very first experience of being part of a class.

And watching their confidence grow from those first few nervous weeks is one of the best parts. 🥋

🥋 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

One of the great things about martial arts is that there is always another level to work towards.

Another skill to improve. Another challenge to take on. Another person you can learn from.

That's true whether you're putting on a belt for the first time or competing at international level. 🌍

At JR Martial Arts, we want our students growing up around people who train hard, set big goals and continue pushing themselves.

Because sometimes the best way to show a young student what's possible...

It was so lovely getting back to a bit of normality tonight as the schools went back and students returned from well deserved holidays. A warm one tonight in all 3 classes. Well done everyone. 🥰

🥋 What actually happens at your first martial arts class?

Being nervous about walking through the doors for the first time is completely normal — especially for children.

We keep that first class simple.

👋 Meet your instructor
🥋 Join in with the warm-up
👊 Learn some basic martial arts skills
🤝 Train alongside the rest of the class
😄 And hopefully leave excited to come back!

You don't need to be fit.

You don't need any experience.

And you definitely don't need to know what you're doing before you arrive.

That's what we're here to teach you.

Fancy giving it a go? 👇🏻

🥋 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗦

Learning how to kick and punch is only a small part of what we do.

One of the biggest things we want our students to develop is 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

The confidence to try something new.

The confidence to make mistakes and keep going.

The confidence to stand in front of others.

And the confidence that comes from seeing yourself improve week after week. 👊🏻

That’s what martial arts can give a child — and it goes far beyond the training floor.

𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀.

🥋 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘆?

August is a great time to get started.

Our classes are designed to help children build 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 — while making friends and having plenty of fun along the way.

No experience needed. Everyone starts somewhere. 👊🏻

We have classes available for:

🥷 Ninja Kidz – Ages 4–6
🥋 Junior Tae Kwon-Do – Ages 7–12
👊 Teens & Adults – Ages 13+

Want to come along and give it a try?
