How the two age groups train

Both age groups train side by side in the same session and share some drills. When the session moves on to techniques, we split by age, with an instructor for each group, so every child learns at the right level.

Why five days in a row

Five days in a row build momentum. By the third day the group has a shared rhythm, and children push each other without being told to. Every two-hour session covers a warm-up, technique work, drilling under pressure, scenario training and a proper cool-down.

What your child will learn

Day 1: Awareness and presence

Children learn to read the world around them before anything physical begins: awareness signals, trusted adults, personal space, assertive posture and voice, and reaction games.

Day 2: Boundaries and voice

Saying no with commitment, the difference between conflict and bullying, basic wrist release, and the first controlled defensive responses as a last resort.

Day 3: Defensive techniques

The physical session: wrist grabs, bear hugs from behind, hair, collar and choke releases, then breaking contact and creating distance. Each technique is drilled with a partner at age-appropriate contact.

Day 4: Scenarios and decision-making

Connected, realistic scenarios: a stranger approaches, peer pressure, finding a safe adult, and two children working through a situation together. Nothing that causes anxiety.

Day 5: Review, challenge and graduation

The full curriculum, individual and team challenges, and a graduation where each child receives a certificate. Parents are invited from 10:30 am.

What children receive

A Raw Krav Maga Kids Summer Camp certificate, presented individually on the final day. It recognises the full curriculum: situational awareness, assertive communication, anti-bullying awareness, physical self-defence technique and scenario decision-making.

After the camp

The camp is a preparation course for Junior Warriors. Children who complete it join the regular classes with a real skills base, so they settle in faster. A new Junior Warriors batch is forming now: register your child's interest.

Summer camp: your questions answered

What age can children join?

6 to 15 years, in two groups: 6 to 10 and 11 to 15. If your child is outside this range, call us and we will advise.

Is any experience needed?

No. The camp is a complete programme on its own. Children with experience train alongside complete beginners.

What should my child wear or bring?

Send your child in comfortable clothes they can move in, such as shorts or track pants and a T-shirt, and sports shoes, which are a must. A light meal about an hour before class works best. Pack a bottle of water, a face towel, and a banana or a small snack.

Can parents observe?

Parents are invited from 10:30 am on Day 5 for the final session and the graduation. On Days 1 to 4 we ask parents not to sit in, because it changes how children engage.

What if my child misses a day?

We recommend all five days. If your child misses one session, the instructor will brief them and they can carry on. Missing two or more days means the certificate is not awarded.

What about medical conditions?

Please tell the instructor about any medical condition, allergy or physical limitation before the camp starts. Everything is kept confidential and used only to keep your child safe.

How does this connect to regular classes?

The camp works as a preparation course. Children who complete it move into Junior Warriors classes with a recognised skills base, ready to train alongside the regular students.

Want a seat at the next camp?

Only 15 to 18 seats. Call or WhatsApp to register.
