A structured martial arts and personal development programme for children and teenagers aged 6–16.
The Team SMAA Youth Programme is a dedicated, structured pathway for children and teenagers who want to develop not just as martial artists, but as confident, disciplined, and resilient young people.
Classes are age-grouped and led by coaches who specialise in youth development. Every session balances technical martial arts instruction with the social and life skills that make martial arts so uniquely valuable for young people.
From learning their first kickboxing stance to stepping into their first competition, our coaches guide every young member at a pace that builds real confidence — never pushing before a child is ready, but always challenging them to grow.
Classes are grouped by age to ensure every child trains with peers at the same developmental stage, with coaching tailored appropriately.
Introduction to martial arts through games, movement, and fun. Building coordination, listening skills, and the very basics of kickboxing in a playful, high-energy environment.
More structured technical training. Members begin learning proper kickboxing technique, partner drills, and pad work — while continuing to develop focus and discipline.
Advanced technical development. Sparring introduced in a controlled setting. Competition preparation available for those who want to compete. Increased physical conditioning.
Transition into adult training programme with guided support. At 16, young members can join our adult Kickboxing and K1 classes alongside the full Team SMAA community.
Each session covers physical martial arts skills alongside the character and life skills that make our programme truly special.

Enrolling your child is simple. Just get in touch and we'll take it from there.
Call, email, or message us on Facebook to express your interest. Let us know your child's age and which class type you're interested in and we'll confirm availability.
We offer a free trial class for all new young members. This lets your child experience the programme before any commitment is made, and lets our coaches assess the right group for them.
If your child enjoys the trial (and they almost always do), we'll get them signed up and started on their martial arts journey as part of the Team SMAA Youth Programme.
What to bring for a first session: Just comfortable clothes your child can move in — t-shirt, joggers or shorts, and trainers. No special kit is needed for the trial. We'll let you know what equipment to get if your child decides to join.
Medical or additional needs? Please let us know when you contact us. Our coaches are experienced in adapting training for different needs and will ensure your child's experience is safe and positive.
The confidence, discipline, and skills they develop here will serve them for the rest of their lives. Contact us today to book a free trial.
