Q: Is my 3 or 6 year-old really ready for martial arts?

Absolutely. Our Martial Miniz program is specifically designed for preschool and early primary-aged kids, age 3-6. Classes are fun, structured, and developmentally appropriate — helping your child build confidence, coordination, and focus in a safe, supportive space.

Q: What if my child is shy or nervous to join in?

Totally normal — and very common! Our instructors are great at easing kids in gently, using encouragement, age-appropriate games, and positive reinforcement.
Kids from Austral, Leppington, and surrounding areas usually warm up quickly once they see how fun and friendly the environment is.

Q: Will they actually be learning martial arts, or just playing games?

Yes, they’ll be learning real martial arts basics — just taught in a playful, kid-friendly way. We introduce important skills like balance, coordination, respect, and listening through fun drills and structured activities designed just for their age group.

Q: How long are the classes, and how big are the groups?

Classes are about 30 minutes, which is the sweet spot for this age group’s attention span. We keep class sizes small so every child gets personalised attention and guidance from our instructors.

Q: Can martial arts training help my child’s behaviour at school?

A: Absolutely! Many parents from Austral, Middleton Grange, Leppington, West Hoxton, and Kemps Creek have noticed significant improvements in their child's focus, behaviour, and self-discipline at school after joining our Young Gunz program. Martial arts builds confidence and responsibility both on and off the mat.

Q: Will martial arts make my child aggressive?

A: Not at all! Our martial arts classes are about building respect, self-control, and discipline. Students learn to manage their emotions and resolve conflicts peacefully, reducing aggression rather than increasing it.

Q: My child isn’t very sporty — will they struggle in martial arts?

A: No worries! Martial arts at United Kempo Martial Arts Academy is perfect for kids of all athletic abilities. We foster a supportive environment where everyone learns at their own pace, gaining confidence and fitness gradually.
