Kids Martial Arts in Selwyn & Rolleston
Give your child confidence, discipline and life skills through martial arts. Our kids martial arts programme is designed to help children grow stronger physically and mentally in a fun, supportive environment.
More Than Just Martial Arts
Parents often join their kids up because they want their child to:
- Build confidence
- Improve focus at school
- Learn discipline
- Develop resilience
- Gain anti-bullying skills
- Get active and off screens
Martial arts helps with all of this — while kids have fun and make friends.

We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, ego-free space where kids feel safe and supported.
Your child will learn from experienced coaches who specialise in working with beginners.
Every class focuses on:
✔ Respect
✔ Teamwork
✔ Confidence
✔ Positive behaviour
✔ Personal development
What Kids Learn in Class
Our programme blends multiple martial arts including:
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
- Kickboxing
- Wrestling & Judo fundamentals
- Self-defence skills
- Fitness & coordination
Classes are structured, engaging and age-appropriate.
Kids improve fitness, balance, coordination and self-belief without even realising they’re exercising.
What Classes to Attend
On your free trial week it is best for kids to try a couple of different styles out as well as a gym session:
For example do 1x BJJ, Judo or Wrestling class, 1x Kickboxing or MMA class and then 1x strength class.
This will make the most out of your free trial week
Kids will often then pick to do one or two of the combat sports of their preference but they are able to train in all of them at any time whilst a member. Kids who are keen or competing should also consider attending our strength sessions regularly to improve their motor skills and athletic abilities.
