Four mornings, four disciplines

What they train

Muay Thai and Kickboxing run Thai-camp style — warm, drill, pads, repeat — so the volume is high and the corrections are constant. Grappling builds toward live rounds at a pace that teaches rather than overwhelms.

Muay Thai & Kickboxing

Run Thai-camp style — the way a fight team actually trains a morning.

Boxing

Hands, head movement and the habit of seeing a punch before it lands.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

No-Gi grappling, positions, escapes and live Randori.

Wrestling

Level changes, takedowns and how to fall without getting hurt.

Skills covered

What they take home

Sparring is taught, not thrown at them. We cover what safe sparring means, how to look after a partner, and how to fall without getting hurt. Athletes are paired by size and experience.

Muay Thai & Kickboxing fundamentals
Sparring fundamentals and a safe sparring mindset
No-Gi Randori — live grappling rounds
Grappling fundamentals: position, control, escape
Fall safety — how to hit the ground and get up
Practical self-defence for their age group

Confidence

Confidence that comes from competence, not from being told they are great. They will be able to do things on Thursday they could not do on Monday, and they will know it.

Leadership

Older campers are given responsibility for younger ones — leading a warm-up, holding pads properly, checking a partner is alright. Most of them have never been asked.

Sport and school together

An honest conversation about training around homework, sleep and a full timetable — so that in October the answer is not 'quit one of them'.

Where it leads

Ready for September

A place in the fall assessment

Campers are prepared for the early-fall assessment for advancement into the Fundamentals II / Intermediate program.

Hours that count

All 12 camp hours are credited toward the Fundamentals II assessment qualification criteria. This is not a holiday-week extra — it is time on their record.

A different kid in September

Four mornings of structured coaching immediately before the school year starts. They walk into the 2026 year fitter, sharper and used to being corrected.

Our young athletes compete, and they place

The kids who show up

Competing is not the point of the camp. But it is where the habit starts — four mornings of being coached, corrected, and expected to show up.
