What Our Ninja Tots Classes Include
Every class is designed to keep young children active, engaged and comfortable while they learn.
Through simple, age-appropriate martial arts and introductory kickboxing activities, children practise listening, balance, coordination, foundational strength and concentration.
Classes are kept small, allowing our instructors to give children plenty of support and attention as they join in, try new activities and grow in confidence.
Your Partner in Parenting
Your child’s health, happiness and confidence are at the heart of everything we do.
Our martial arts curriculum encourages values including courage, commitment, self-belief, effort, discipline and respect for themselves and others.
We work alongside parents to reinforce positive thoughts, words, choices and behaviours that children can carry into nursery, school and home life.
As children develop, Ninja Tots helps prepare them for the next stage of their martial arts journey, including our Little Ninjas programme for ages 4–7.
Building Coordination and Control
Ninja Tots helps children develop balance, coordination and greater control over their movements.
Through games and simple martial arts activities, children learn that movements should be controlled and intentional.
As they develop body awareness and foundational strength, children can become more confident when taking part in physical activities.

Developing Focus and Concentration
Keeping a young child’s attention can sometimes feel challenging, but a clear and positive class structure can make a real difference.
Ninja Tots gives children regular opportunities to practise listening, understanding simple instructions and concentrating long enough to complete an activity.
Recognising their success helps children feel proud of what they have achieved and encourages them to keep trying.
These early habits can support children at nursery, at home and as they become more comfortable in structured group settings.
Learning Confidence, Patience and Resilience
Young children can sometimes become frustrated when they do not succeed on their first attempt.
Ninja Tots gives children a supportive place to try new things, make mistakes and discover that improvement comes through effort, patience and practice.
Our instructors encourage children to celebrate small achievements, treat others with respect and keep going when an activity feels challenging.
This helps children grow in confidence while learning that progress matters more than getting everything right straight away.

Our son Teddy, who is 7 years old, has absolutely flourished since joining. His confidence, discipline, fitness and kickboxing ability have improved beyond anything we could have imagined. Every week he looks forward to training, and watching him grow both as a kickboxer and as a young lad has been incredible.
A huge thank you to Gasan, Blaine, Guyvin and all of the instructors. The passion, patience and dedication they show to every child is second to none. They know exactly how to get the very best out of each student, making every session fun, challenging and rewarding. Teddy is flying under their guidance, and we’re so grateful for everything they do.
A special mention also has to go to Nikki, the centre manager.
