Life skills they'll always be grateful for
We provide Martial Arts classes for kids from the age of 3yrs old.
Through our structured training programmes we introduce kids to the principles of Martial Arts and get them started on their journey to developing the skills and attitudes necessary to have the confidence to be able to defend themselves should the worst happen.
Emphasis is on developing mobility, strength, flexibility, confidence and fitness.
Classes are arranged according to age and ability.
At Rivals we are dedicated to instilling a comprehensive and practical understanding of Martials Arts to stop and prevent bullying from adversely affecting our child and youth practitioners.
Bullying comes in many different forms, especially when kids are alone and away from friends or family.
In our classes, there is a strong emphasis on identifying the many signs of bullying and learning how to de-escalate without resorting to physical altercations studied in class. We encourage the kids to talk openly about any issues they come to encounter.
As with almost everything in life, starting early in life is the best way to go.
Our goal at Rivals is simple; to give our children essential self-defence knowledge to empower them with life skills, confidence and a healthy sense of self-esteem learned through Martial Arts.
In today’s reality, we must be as vigilant as ever. Martial Arts provides necessary tools to safeguard our kids from a wide array of threats and give them the confidence to do so intelligently and independently should the need arise.
"The discipline as children don't always listen to their parents, role models as some children don't have male or female role models in their family life, Loghan's confidence has grown so much especially him being an only child it learns them to stand up for himself when appropriate, and also the irony is fighting doesn't solve anything unless in a controlled environment like a fight etc, the bigger person walks away. Loghan stamina and his ability to concentrate teachers are always commenting on it and I honestly believe it's kickboxing thats embellished that."
Gillian Murray
"I chose to send my son Kian to kickboxing because I wanted him to be taught discipline, sportsmanship and respect. With his autism he expects to win all the time and get his own way and since he's started classes he's much more calmer and more disciplined with himself. He works well when things are structured and loves learning the combinations for grading. He loves going and loves showcasing what he's been taught to anyone that'll listen to him."
