What is Juniors Kickboxing?
RMKB’s Junior Programme is primarily a Kickboxing programme, with self-defence skills, techniques, movement, timing, speed work, bully prevention methods, stranger danger awareness and so much more! This group is for ages 7-12 years old, and split into two classes; Juniors 1 for beginners to yellow belts, and Juniors 2 for green belts and above.
We also teach our juniors the difference between verbal and physical attacks and ensure they are adequately trained in dealing with both situations. We strive to ensure our juniors know that physical confrontation is always the last resort and to try all other avenues before resorting to a physical self-defence. We also believe in having a great time! It has to be fun and we have to enjoy it to want to keep training and keep coming back!
Martial arts will benefit your child by:
- Developing their self-discipline
- Boosting their socialisation skills
- Encouraging physical activity
- Teaching your child to set and achieve goals
- Improving self-esteem
- Instilling a sense of respect
- Encouraging non violent conflict resolution
- Improving listening skills
- Developing teamwork skills
When can my child train?
Our Juniors Curriculum is a programme designed for 7 – 12 year olds and is split into two classes, based on level – Juniors 1 & Juniors 2. This is to ensure your child benefits from increased instructor interaction and more focussed attention on our syllabus. You can choose to train one class per week, or choose from our more inclusive membership options to gain access to all mid-week classes and the Saturday sparring class.

What does the juniors training involve?
At RMKB we encourage fun, enjoyment and maximum effort in all of our classes. We drive our students and encourage continuous improvement in all areas.
We use lots of equipment in classes such as Light Bags, Heavy Bags, Kick Shields, Focus Pads, Body Armour, Speed Balls, Blocker Pads and so much more. This means classes are always varied, exciting and full of energy!
During each class, the Juniors will focus on our core martial arts syllabus. Once they have mastered the required techniques and combinations, they will be invited to an examination with a panel of instructors to showcase their skills, with a view to achieving their next graded belt. Your child will be enrolled in our 5 year programme to progress from absolute beginner to Black Belt.
