Two groups

Split by age, not by skill

Both classes teach the same striking, wrestling and submission grappling. The difference is how it is taught.

Intermediate

Ages 5 to 8 · 4:30pm to 5:10pm

All the skills of kids karate plus the self defence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. More focus on confidence, listening and getting along with others, so kids are well on the way to being bully proofed.

Advanced

Ages 9 to 15 · 5:20pm to 6:00pm

This class has it all, with a big emphasis on discipline, teamwork and personal development. Advanced in age, not skill: beginners are welcome.

What kids learn

Skills for the mats and for life

  • Striking. Punches, kicks and knees on pads, with good technique and control.
  • Wrestling. Takedowns, balance and how to fall safely.
  • Jiu jitsu self defence. Escapes, holds and getting back to their feet.
  • Standing up to bullying. The confidence to say no, and knowing when to walk away and tell an adult.
  • Discipline and respect that carry over to school and home.

Gradings

Belts kids can be proud of 練心館

Renshinkan coloured belts take kids from white to black. Gradings run through the year, so kids can see themselves improve and always have a next step to work towards.

From 16, students move into the adult classes and the jiu jitsu belts, white to black.

Questions from parents

My child is shy. Will they cope?

Yes. Head coach Mick Moloney started martial arts as a shy kid who was bullied, so the coaches know how to bring quiet kids out of their shell, one class at a time.

My child is 10 and has never trained. Which group?

Advanced. The groups are set by age, not skill, so beginners aged 9 to 15 start in the Advanced class and learn the basics there.

Can kids train jiu jitsu as well?

Yes. Both kids classes include jiu jitsu self defence, and the Open Mat sessions are open to all ages. From 16, students move into the adult BJJ and MMA classes.

How do I pay?

Weekly by direct debit, by the school term, or casual at $15 a class. All payments go through GoCardless.
