GK1 YOUTH & KIDS ACADEMY

INTRODUCING THE GK1STRIKING YOUTH & KIDS ACADEMY

The GK1STRIKING Kids & Youth Academy is a structured martial arts programme designed to help children and young people develop confidence, coordination, and foundational martial arts skills in a safe, supportive, and motivating environment.

​

Led by Head Coach Gregor, alongside Coach Jovan, the academy welcomes all experience levels, from complete beginners to confident, active young athletes.

​

Our age-specific classes ensure every student trains at the right pace, with sessions tailored to physical development, learning ability, and emotional maturity.

​

LEARNING EXPECTATIONS

The Academy is structured around age and development stage, ensuring every child trains in an environment that suits their physical, emotional, and learning needs.

​

-Kids Academy (Ages 4–9): a fun, movement-led introduction to martial arts, focusing on coordination, confidence, and enjoyment through games and guided activities.

-Youth Academy (Ages 9–13): a more structured programme that builds on these foundations, introducing technical striking and grappling skills while developing discipline, focus, and resilience.

As students progress from Kids to Youth classes, training evolves with them:

-Striking skills: from simple punches and kicks to controlled combinations, movement, and balance

-Grappling skills: from basic body awareness and control to positioning, takedowns, and ground fundamentals

-Physical development: fitness, agility, coordination, and overall body awareness

BEYOND PHYSICAL SKILLS

Across all age groups, sessions are designed to develop:

​

-Confidence and self-belief

-Focus, listening skills, and discipline

-Emotional control and resilience

-Respect, teamwork, and positive behaviour

​​

All training is age-appropriate, closely supervised, and delivered with safety, enjoyment, and progression as top priorities.
