Training For Every Age

Classes For The Whole Family

Find the right training for you at Paradigm Martial Arts.

Ages 3–4

Little Ninjas Beginner

The very first step. Games, imagination and movement, with gentle punches and kicks hidden inside them.

Read More

Standing tall in a ninja stance, the “ninja breath” that keeps them calm and focused, and moving around the mats with balance and control. The goal is not perfection — some are ready to move up early, others want longer to find their feet, and either is fine.

Monday to Friday, 4.30pm to 5pm. Saturday, 9.30am to 10am.

Little Ninjas Advanced

The next step up — more skill, more discipline, and exactly as much fun as the first one.

Read More

A sharper stance and better balance, stronger and more controlled punches and kicks, and agility built through pad drills, movement games and mat work. Teamwork, discipline and respect for the people they train with come with it.

Monday to Friday, 5pm to 5.30pm. Saturday: all-level Little Ninjas 10am, Advanced 10.30am.

Junior Beginners

Where it stops being a game and starts being a martial art — without anybody being thrown in at the deep end.

Read More

Sharper punches, faster kicks and stronger combinations, built through pad work, bag drills and controlled sparring in a safe environment. Stamina, strength and coordination come from the fitness side; discipline, resilience and goal-setting come from the rest of it, and they transfer off the mats.

Monday to Thursday, 5.30pm to 6.15pm. Friday 5.30pm and Saturday 11am run as combined all-junior classes.

Junior Advanced

Things get real. Advanced combinations, and the spectacular kicks parents remember from eighties martial arts films.

Read More

Simple drills turn into flowing sequences of attack and defence, sharpening timing, precision and the creativity to use them under pressure. Jumping spinning back kicks and tornado kicks are introduced here, which is where most of the fun comes from.

Intermediate and Elite train separately on Tuesday and Thursday — 6.15pm and 7pm — and combined on Monday and Wednesday at 6.15pm.

Adult Kickboxing

Fun, fitness or competition — one class covers all three, and you decide which one you came for.

Read More

Striking drills, pad work, bag work and conditioning, at an intensity that burns fat and builds stamina rather than boring you. Alongside the fitness: stress relief, strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, practical self-defence, and the focus and discipline that come with learning a technique properly.

Wednesday, 7.15pm to 8pm.

Sparring And Fighters Training

Where the skills get tested. Light-contact sparring for anyone who wants it, and an invite-only Elite Fight Squad behind it.

Read More

Sparring is controlled, safe and entirely voluntary — it is about timing, distance and strategy, and about getting comfortable being in there, not about hurting anyone. Sometimes there are tears; that is part of it, and the coaches have all been there themselves.

The Elite Fight Squad is the club's competition team. Entry is by invitation, selected on potential and dedication rather than belt colour, and the training is a step up again.

Open Sparring, Friday 6.15pm to 7pm. Ask a coach about the Elite Fight Squad.

Absolutely Amazing, We took our three year old to Paradigm‘s little ninjas and all the staff made us feel very welcome. Our son was the one of the youngest in the group and all the staff and other ninjas made him feel very welcome. Can recommend to all!
