The Combat Therapy Centre team are so excited to offer these free sessions during the January school holidays.

What is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)? MMA is a contact combat sport that incorporates various martial arts disciplines, such as boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and Muay Thai.

What are the times? The sessions will be broken into 2 different age groups to support the physical, emotional and cognitive development of the children and teens:

8-12 years old: 4:00 PM - 4:50 PM 12-17 years old: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Please note that if your child is 12 years old, we are happy for you to decided which session would be appropriate for them to participate in. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch.

What should my child expect?

High physicality and lots of fun
Appropriate training buddies
Learn some basic skills and fundamental self-defense techniques
Connect with other young people who share the same passion for high energy rough and tumble in a controlled environment
Our internationally qualified and experienced instructors will be there to guide them every step of the way

Why MMA for older children and teens?

What do they need to bring?

Wear shorts (preferably no pockets) and t-shirt
A drink bottle with water - it's hot work and we take lots of drink breaks
If your child has a mouth guard, then bring it along. It's totally fine if they don't, it's not imperative for these sessions to have one

Is this sport appropriate for girls?
We have the most amazing girls and young women that attend our MMA and BJJ classes each week. This sport provides them with valuable self-defense skills, enhancing their confidence and ability to protect themselves as well as taking it to the boys on the mat. Learning various martial arts techniques equips them with the knowledge to handle potentially threatening situations, fostering a sense of empowerment and security.
