Official TMAP introductionReal coaching. Real progress.
The move to high school can feel like a lot
They’re finding their feet. You’re wondering if they’re okay.
Pressure starts to build
Schoolwork, screens and fitting in create stress they may not always know how to talk about.
You want them prepared
You want them to speak up, make good choices and feel able to protect themselves if needed.
They do not need to be “sporty” or confident to start.
Ages 11–15 · Complete beginners welcome
A positive place to grow
More than learning how to fight.
The four-week programme gives teenagers structured coaching, achievable challenges and a welcoming group where effort matters more than experience.
Confidence and focus
Learn to stay composed, listen, make decisions and speak up.
Fitness and resilience
Build stamina while learning to keep going when something feels difficult.
Striking and grappling
Develop practical skills safely through progressive, coached partner drills.
Practical self-protection
Improve awareness, boundaries and the confidence to act appropriately.
The result we are working towards
A teenager who stands a little taller.
Four weeks is the beginning—not a magic fix. It gives them the right environment, coaching and momentum to begin making meaningful progress.
More self-belief
They begin to trust what they can do instead of automatically holding back.
Better focus
They practise listening, following instructions and staying present under pressure.
Greater resilience
They learn that mistakes are part of progress—and that they can try again.
Practical ability
They leave with useful striking, grappling and self-protection foundations.
Everything they need to begin
One simple programme. No hidden extras.
We make starting easy, even if your teenager has never stepped into a martial arts class before.
- ✓Unlimited classes for four weeks
- ✓Their own pair of boxing gloves

Skills for the mats. Lessons for life.
I’ve spent more than 20 years helping young people and adults become fitter, more confident and more capable through martial arts.
Teenagers do not need shouting or empty praise. They need clear expectations, patient coaching, positive role models and the chance to prove to themselves what they can do.
