Children's Martial Arts

Give your child the perfect start with our fun, high-energy Lil Dragons classes! Our class are all designed to build confidence, respect, and focus, and each session combines exciting martial arts skills with essential life lessons and exercise skills such as core stability, balance and body awareness. Through carefully planned games, teamwork, and parent-child activities, your little one will develop balance, coordination, listening skills, and even learn important safety topics like stranger danger, road safety, and fire safety. With badges to earn every month, as well as a full belt progression programme, there is always something new to learn — keeping children engaged, active, and eager to come back for more. As our classes are drop off sessions, we don’t have parents staying to watch*, we offer a class every month where parents/carers can join their Lil Dragons on the mats to see what we’ve been up to. # All of our instructors are DBS checked, qualified and insured, and hold some sort of background in education first, before being a martial arts coach. We feel this is important at The Factory, as we recognise, children shouldn’t be trained as ‘mini adults’, and so our wealth of experience in child development, special educational needs training, safeguarding and coaching means that we create the very best environment for your child. Classes are only 30 minutes long, so we can keep your child focussed and engaged. Children don’t need to be drilling kicks and punches for hours on end to learn, in fact, that’s detrimental to their enjoyment and their health. So we carefully structure our classes to be fast-paced, fun and full of useful skills and drills. Help your child grow stronger, safer, and more confident — all while having the most fun and staying safe! *Just a note, we don’t allow parents to stay and watch as we feel children build more confidence without parents there. They also benefit from greater focus and improved communication skills.

Fuel your child’s growth and confidence with our Junior Team Kickboxing classes, designed to go beyond martial arts training and support their development as well-rounded, empowered and confident individuals.

Holistic Development Our classes are not just about kicks and punches—our classes nurture confidence, respect, and discipline, fostering character alongside physical skills. Progression and Development With badges to earn every month, as well as a full belt progression programme, there is always something new to learn — keeping children engaged, active, and eager to come back for more. As our classes are drop off sessions, we don’t have parents staying to watch*, we offer a class every three months where parents/carers can join their Juniors on the mats to see what we’ve been up to.

Help your teen unleash their full potential with our dynamic Teen Squad Kickboxing classes — crafted to build strength, character, and self-belief through exciting, skill‑filled training. Dynamic & Engaging Training Each session is packed with challenging drills and fun martial arts skills to keep teens active, engaged, and progressing toward Black Belt excellence. Building Better Humans More than just striking and fitness — teens gain invaluable life skills like confidence, self-discipline, anti-bullying strategies, and self-defence, all delivered in an empowering, supportive environment. Controlled Sparring and Self Defence Teens learn the art of controlled sparring, designed to test and sharpen their abilities safely and effectively. However, sparring is not the main focus of our club, and we don’t take students to competition level. More importantly, we believe more in ‘real world’ self defence so that students are confident and have the ability to be able to defend themselves out in the streets in our ever challenging world. Goal‑Driven Motivation Monthly challenges to earn badges push your teen to show what they’ve learned and strive for excellence. With a clear belt progression—leading all the way to Black Belt—they stay motivated, focused, and proud of their progress.
