Tiny Samurais
Martial Arts for Toddlers (Ages 1–4)
Helping little people build BIG confidence.
At The Kickboxing Academy we believe learning starts long before children throw their first punch or kick.
Our Tiny Samurais programme has been specially designed for children aged 1–4 years, introducing them to movement, confidence and essential life skills through exciting, fun-filled parent-assisted classes.
Every session is packed with games, obstacle courses, balance exercises and beginner martial arts movements that develop both body and mind.
No previous experience is needed.
Just smiles, energy and a willingness to learn.

Why parents love Tiny Samurais
Tiny Samurais isn't about fighting..
"Orla is always coming home telling me all about it and her friend Alana Banana. She truly loves coming to Tiny Samurais and tells her teddies and dolls about it when she’s playing! She also shows me the punches and kicks, and her confidence has grown so much"
It's about giving children the foundations they need before starting school and before progressing into our Little Samurais programme.
Children learn in a safe, positive environment where every achievement is celebrated.
Parents regularly tell us they've noticed improvements at home with:
- Listening
- Confidence
- Behaviour
- Independence
- Physical coordination
- Social interaction
Parent Assisted Learning
One of the things that makes Tiny Samurais so special is that parents join in too.
Working together helps children feel safe and supported whilst creating fantastic memories you'll both enjoy.
Our classes are relaxed, welcoming and designed so every child can learn at their own pace.
