JOIN OUR KIDS MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES IN DONCASTER

Doncaster Sambo & Wrestling is an independent, family owned and run martial arts training gym, currently located near the city centre of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on Carr House Road, in Hyde Park 👋

We are on a mission 🚀 to engage with parents and schools in the local community, to encourage the practice of martial arts; and equip our children with the life skills and values needed, to help them navigate home, school, relationships; all whilst enjoying themselves, exercising with purpose, and learning disciplines which will stay with them for life.

Some frequently asked questions & answers 👍

My child takes part in other sports. Why martial arts?

If your child already pursues other interests outside of school - and more importantly enjoy it - great 😊 We believe that kids should get enjoyment when taking part in extra curricular activities, and we know there are so many things available in Doncaster. We believe martial arts offers an holistic form of exercise - in such a way that your child benefits from physical activity which serves a purpose for self defence, self awareness, and growth; in tangent with acquiring personal developmental skills and values - all of which are transferable on and off the mat 👍

Is martial arts safe?

Martial arts is a contact sport and varies from combat e.g. striking, throwing, to grappling e.g. submissions, holds. All classes are taught and supervised by extremely passionate, and experienced coaches, who quite literally ‘live and breathe’ the world of martial arts. Student welfare is paramount - which is why beginners will be introduced to the basics, such as, learning how to correctly ‘break fall’, submit to an opponent, and be aware of their area. Coaches demonstrate all techniques, and actively monitor participants throughout classes, to mitigate any risk of injury.

What kids classes do you teach?

Children get to participate in the same martial art disciplines as is taught to the adults - this includes Sport Sambo, Combat Sambo, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, No-Gi, and Muay Thai.

What time are the kids classes?

Kids classes run on weekdays, Monday to Friday, and start at 5pm and 5:45pm, (excluding Wednesdays which has one session for kids from 5-6pm).

How long are the classes?

The majority of our kids classes last for 45 minutes, however many of our young students tend to stay for both kids sessions. This is entirely optional.

What age can my child start?

Any child that is aged 7 or over is warmly welcomed to take part in the kids martial arts classes at Doncaster Sambo & Wrestling. New class attendees are encouraged to join, regardless of whether being a complete beginner, or if your child has previously taken part in martial arts before - we would love to welcome them along!

How are the classes taught?

Kids classes are coached as a group, with class appropriate warmups, techniques, and drills, demonstrated by the coach.

Is there room to wait for my child?

Parents/guardians are welcome to stay whilst classes are in progress and watch their child take part. We do politely ask that parents encourage their child to return to the mat, should they walk off without informing the coach.

What is the pricing?

Our mat fees are extremely competitive as we want our kids lasses to be available as a cost effective sports activity for local parents. Our most popular choice is the monthly option which includes all kids classes for just £35 a month (standing order).
