What it’s like
Kids' MMA, boxing and Muay Thai classes in London, with a free single trial class for juniors and teens before you commit.
If your kid wants to learn to box or grapple, the junior and teen classes here cover MMA, boxing, Muay Thai and strength work, split by age group from the very young up to 17. The bit that'll stick with them is the grappling and padwork, which is what most kids talk about after a first session.
Here's the nice part for you: juniors and teens can buy a single trial class online for free, so you're not spending anything to find out whether they'll actually stick at it. The adult trial is three classes for £20 if you fancy joining in. One to one sessions run £60 an hour, with discounts if you book blocks of 5, 10 or 20.
The gym opens 6am to 11pm Monday to Friday and 6am to 6pm at weekends. Evenings are the busy slot and classes fill up, but numbers are capped by a booking system and you book through it rather than turning up and hoping. Mornings and lunchtimes are the quiet ones, which suits a first class with a nervous beginner.
Two things worth knowing before you sign anything up: membership can only be paused for up to a month, and if you cancel a personal training session with less than 12 hours' notice you lose it. Both are standard gym terms, but they're the sort of thing you'd rather hear first.
