Build confidence, sharpen focus, and develop self-discipline through structured training

Today’s children face more challenges than ever — from technology distractions and inactive lifestyles to peer pressure and bullying. At First 2 Strike, our kids martial arts programs give children a positive, structured environment where they can build confidence, discipline, fitness, and real-world self-defence skills that support them now and into adulthood.

Martial arts offers more than physical training. It’s a form of education that develops mental strength, emotional resilience, and respect for others, helping children grow into confident, capable individuals.

Our Training Approach

We teach a modern freestyle martial arts system that combines proven techniques and concepts into practical training suited to each child. Our focus is on self-defence, confidence, fitness, and personal development — not intimidation or ego.

Through consistent training, students develop:

  • Confidence, focus, and self-belief

  • Discipline, commitment, and respect

  • Structured training that challenges students at an age-appropriate level

  • Goal-setting skills and a strong sense of achievement

  • Practical self-defence and anti-bullying strategies

  • Improved coordination, fitness, and flexibility

  • Positive social skills, teamwork, and friendships

Our training is guided by the Five Tenets:
Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit

Class Structure & Skills

Our kids program includes:

  • Kids (ages 4–6)

  • Juniors (ages 7–10)

Punches, kicks, blocks, combinations, controlled sparring, close-range techniques, pad and bag work, grappling, and basic groundwork — all taught in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

A Supportive Martial Arts Community

​At First 2 Strike, children don’t just learn martial arts — they become part of a friendly, inclusive club where they feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to be their best.

 Adult Strikers & Teen Strikers

the first 2 strike self-defence system

At First 2 Strike Freestyle Martial Arts, our Teens & Adults program teaches a practical, free-flowing martial arts system focused on real-world self-defence. Our training is designed to prepare both body and mind, building confidence, focus, and fitness without the pressure of competition.

First 2 Strike is a freestyle martial art that evolves with its practitioners. We draw from proven martial arts systems to create something effective, adaptable, and unique, suited to modern self-defence and everyday situations.

Our Training Philosophy

Our approach is practical and realistic. Training focuses on:

  • Self-defence - avoidance, awareness and response

  • Confidence and mental resilience

  • Strength, fitness, coordination and conditioning

  • Focus, discipline, and control

  • Progressive training that challenges students physically and mentally

Whether you’re new to martial arts or returning after a break, our classes are structured, supportive, and scalable to your ability level.

Belt System & Progression

Our Teens & Adults program follows a 12-belt progression system, guiding students from White Belt to Black Belt. Advancement is based on consistent training, technical development, and attitude — not competition results.

Students are invited to grade by the Head Instructor once they demonstrate readiness.

We also use Tip Testing (Stripes) to recognise progress between belt gradings:

  • Conducted approximately every six weeks, based on individual progress

  • Rewards commitment and skill development

  • Students must complete a minimum of 12 classes before testing

This system keeps students motivated while maintaining high standards.

Skills You Will Learn

Training includes:
Punching, kicking, blocking, combinations, controlled sparring, close-range techniques, pad and bag work, grappling, groundwork, joint locks, throws & takedowns, weapons defence, and more...

All training is delivered in a safe, structured, and respectful environment.

A Supportive Training Community

​​​​​​​First 2 Strike is more than a martial arts class — it’s a community. Our Teens & Adults program offers a welcoming space where students train hard, support each other, and grow in confidence and capability.

GRAP strikers

Grap Strikers — BJJ & Self-Defence Program

(Juniors, Teens & Adults)

Grap Strikers is our grappling and ground-fighting program focused on real-world self-defence, fitness, and practical skill development. This program teaches students how to stay safe, controlled, and effective in close-range situations where grappling becomes essential.

Our classes combine proven techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gi and No-Gi), wrestling, and judo, blending self-defence principles with selected sport-based methods for a complete and adaptable system.

Training Approach

Grap Strikers training is structured, progressive, and hands-on. Classes are designed to build confidence, control, and physical conditioning while keeping training engaging and enjoyable.

Sessions include:

  • Technical instruction and drilling

  • Live grappling and controlled sparring (“rolling”)

  • Situational training combining striking and grappling

  • Self-defence scenarios involving clinch and ground positions

  • Structured training designed to challenge students and accelerate progress

This approach prepares students for realistic situations where both striking and grappling may be required.

What You Will Learn

Students develop a wide range of practical skills, including:

Takedowns, throws, sweeps, submissions, escapes, ground control, striking attacks and defences, weapons defence, and more.

All techniques are taught with a strong emphasis on safety, awareness, and control, making the program suitable for beginners through to experienced martial artists.

Fitness, Confidence & Community

Grap Strikers is an excellent full-body workout, improving strength, endurance, mobility, and coordination. Beyond fitness, students gain confidence, mental resilience, and problem-solving skills in a supportive training environment.

Whether your goal is self-defence, fitness, or learning effective grappling skills, Grap Strikers offers a challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable training experience.
