Five Days. Deeper Learning. Here is Why.
Five consecutive days of training builds skills faster than the same hours spread across weeks. This is not about volume. It is about how the brain consolidates physical learning.
When children train daily, a technique that would take weeks to become instinctive through once-a-week classes can lock in within days. The body and mind are in a continuous cycle of practice, rest, and reinforcement. That cycle is broken every time there is a multi-day gap between sessions.
Five days together also builds something that spread-out training cannot. By Day 3, the group has a shared rhythm. Children push each other without being told to. The energy by Day 4 is something parents who attend the graduation on Day 5 can see clearly in how their child moves and responds.
The two-hour daily session gives enough time to cover warm-up, technique work, drilling under pressure, scenario training, and a proper cool-down with debrief. Nothing is rushed and nothing is cut. Scenario training in particular, the part children respond to most, is in every session without exception.
What Your Child Will Learn
Day 1: Awareness and Presence, 25 May
Children spend Day 1 learning to read the world around them before anything physical is introduced. Most dangerous situations give signals well before contact occurs. This session trains children to notice those signals.
-
The colour code awareness system adapted for children
-
Trusted adult awareness: who to trust, when to question, how to seek help
-
Personal space and recognising when someone is crossing it deliberately
-
Assertive posture and voice: projecting confidence before a word is spoken
-
Reaction drills and directional awareness games
-
Basic movement: stepping and repositioning from a fighting stance
Day 2: Boundaries and Voice, 26 May
Before any physical technique, children need to know how to stop a situation with their voice and their posture. Day 2 works on exactly that, then introduces the first physical responses for situations where communication alone is not enough.
-
Saying no with commitment: assertive communication under social pressure
-
Controlled defensive responses: palm strikes and kicks introduced as a last resort
-
The difference between conflict and bullying
-
Basic wrist release: the most common grab children face
-
Scanning and covering blind spots in crowded areas
Day 3: Defensive Techniques, 27 May
Day 3 is the physical self-defence session of the camp. Children work through the defences most relevant to what they actually face. Each technique is drilled with a partner at a level of contact appropriate to the age group.
-
Two-handed wrist grab release
-
Bear hug from behind: upright and lifted positions
-
Hair, collar and choke release
-
Breaking contact and creating distance after a defence
-
Palm strike and kick mechanics with appropriate targets for children
Day 4: Scenarios and Decision-Making, 28 May
Children apply everything from Days 1 through 3 in connected scenarios. No isolated drills. A situation develops and they have to read it, respond to it, and make decisions as it moves. Scenarios are age-appropriate and conducted without anything that would cause anxiety.
-
Stranger approach: public space, adult unknown to the child
-
Peer pressure: holding a position under group social pressure
-
Physical contact: Day 3 techniques applied in a realistic sequence
-
Help-seeking: finding a safe adult and communicating clearly under stress
-
Team scenarios: two children navigating a situation together
Day 5: Review, Challenge and Graduation, 29 May
The final day covers the full curriculum from Day 1, runs individual and group challenges, and closes with the graduation ceremony. Parents are invited from 10:30 AM.
-
Full curriculum review from awareness through technique
-
Individual challenge round: each child works through a scenario under observation
-
Team relay: group scenario from start to finish
-
Certificate of completion presented individually to each child
-
Parent observation: children demonstrate what they built across the week
-
Post-camp guidance for parents on supporting continued development at home.
What Children Receive on Completion
Every child who completes all five days receives a Raw Krav Maga Kids Summer Camp Certificate of Completion, presented individually on the final day at the graduation ceremony.
The certificate recognises completion of the published curriculum across five areas: situational awareness, assertive communication, anti-bullying awareness, physical self-defence technique, and scenario decision-making.
Children who complete the camp naturally progress into the Junior Warriors regular classes held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1 June 2026.
Frequently Asked
01
What age can children participate?
6 to 13 years. Children train in two age-appropriate groups within the camp. Ages 6 to 9 in one group and ages 10 to 13 in the other. If your child is outside this range, contact us and we will advise.
04
What happens if a child misses a day?
We recommend attendance on all five days for the curriculum to be fully effective. If a child misses one session, the instructor will brief them and they can continue. Missing two or more sessions makes the certificate of completion invalid for that year.
02
Is prior Krav Maga or martial arts experience required?
No. The camp is a complete standalone programme. Children with prior training integrate naturally alongside complete beginners.
05
Does the instructor need to know about any medical conditions?
Yes. Parents must inform the instructor of any medical conditions, allergies, or physical limitations before the camp begins. This includes asthma, joint issues, or any condition that may affect physical activity. All information is kept confidential and used only to ensure your child trains safely.
03
Can parents observe?
Parents are invited to attend from 10:30 AM on Day 5 for the final session and the graduation ceremony. During Days 1 to 4 we ask parents not to sit in, as it affects how children engage with the training.
06
How does this connect to the regular classes starting in June?
Children who complete the camp move naturally into the Junior Warriors regular classes from 1 June. They begin with a recognised skills base from the camp curriculum, which means they settle into the regular programme faster than children joining without camp experience.
