Our Junior Krav Maga classes are designed to help children aged 7–12 become more confident, calmer under pressure, and harder to bully, in a fun, structured, and supportive environment.

This isn’t about turning children into fighters.

It’s about helping them feel safer, stronger, and more self-assured in everyday life.

What Your Child Gains From Our Classes

Parents consistently tell us they see real changes, not just in class, but at home and at school.

Through our Junior programme, children develop:

✅ Confidence to stand tall, make eye contact, and speak up

✅ Emotional control when faced with stress or confrontation

✅ Awareness skills that help them avoid trouble in the first place

✅ Resilience to cope with bullying, setbacks, and peer pressure

✅ Respect and self-discipline that support learning and behaviour

These are skills that stay with them long after class ends.

How Our Classes Are Structured

Each class follows a clear, age-appropriate structure so children feel safe, supported, and successful.

Classes are:

✅ Fun, energetic, and engaging

✅ Carefully supervised at all times

✅ Built around positive reinforcement

✅ Designed for all abilities, not just sporty kids

✅ Children progress at their own pace while building confidence week by week.

✅ A Smarter Approach to Self-Protection

Many parents worry that self-defence teaches aggression or takes years to work.

Our Approach Is Different

We teach children to:

✅ Avoid trouble through awareness and confidence

✅ Use their voice and body language to set boundaries

✅ Stay calm under pressure

✅ Protect themselves only if necessary

This makes your child less likely to be targeted, which is the most effective form of self-defence.

Why Parents Trust Our Juniors Programme

Our Junior classes are part of Krav Maga Somerset, led by instructors with over a three decade of teaching experience and backgrounds in professional self-protection and coaching.

We combine real-world self-defence principles with a child-centred, safeguarding-first approach, giving parents peace of mind while children build genuine confidence.

Why Short, Consistent Classes Work Best

Many parents worry their child won’t concentrate or will become overwhelmed.

Our 50-minute classes are long enough to create real progress, but short enough to:

🎯 Keep children engaged and focused

🎯 Prevent fatigue or overload

🎯 Leave children feeling successful, not exhausted

🎯 This helps confidence grow faster — especially for younger or quieter children.

New Starters Are Always Welcome

You don’t need to wait for a new term.

Children can:

🎯 Start at any time

🎯 Join at a level appropriate to their age and experience

🎯 Progress safely and confidently from day one

We also offer a FREE no-pressure induction class, so you can see if it’s right for your child before committing.
