Impact4Kids is not a sport but a carefully structured self-defence system suitable for both boys and girls. It is practical and versatile with skills that are easily learnt. Impact4Kids provides an excellent opportunity for children to not only practice self-defence skills but undertake physical exercise for health, fitness and fun.

In particular we aim to develop your child’s coordination and self-control whilst inspiring confidence and respect.
Our children’s classes are carefully structured allowing practical skill sets to be taught amongst games and fun activities. Whilst discipline and respect go hand in hand with jujitsu our students are encouraged to pursue these qualities with patience and understanding.

Students’ ability and application is rewarded by way of advancement through a traditional coloured belt ranking system.
