Programmes that open doors

Cost should never be the reason a child misses out on sport. We offer free or subsidised places in age-appropriate combat sports sessions for children and young people from age 4 upwards whose families face financial or social barriers.

Sessions focus on fitness, coordination, discipline and fun, in a safe and supervised setting where everyone is welcome.

Our bullying support scholarships give children affected by bullying a place to train, a mentor to talk to and a group where they belong.

We teach respect, assertiveness and conflict avoidance, and we always encourage children to seek help from a trusted adult. Training is about confidence and wellbeing, never about retaliation.

Young leaders help out in sessions under supervision, learning how to support younger children, communicate clearly and work as part of a team.

Each young leader is mentored, given real responsibility at the right pace, and encouraged to grow in confidence as a role model.

For aspiring coaches, we help with the steps needed to work towards paid coaching roles: relevant coaching qualifications, safeguarding training, first aid and supervised, hands-on coaching experience.

Our aim is to help participants become ready to access paid opportunities in sport.

Talented amateur athletes can be held back by costs: coaching fees, kit and equipment, competition entry and travel.

Where funding allows, we help aspiring athletes overcome these barriers so they can keep progressing in their sport.

We are developing inclusive summer and school holiday camps combining sport, teamwork and fun, open to children and young people of all backgrounds.

Register your interest and we will be in touch as plans are confirmed.

We are developing adapted activities and alternative learning opportunities for neurodivergent children, those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and young people with different learning, behavioural, emotional or social support needs.

The aim is to offer a structured, encouraging environment where every young person can take part in a way that works for them.

We welcome conversations with schools, youth groups and community organisations about taster sessions and workshops that introduce young people to combat sports and its values.
