The Middle East’s only specialist character development organisation
Martial arts, taught well, gives children essential life skills, values, and virtues that stay with them long after the belt goes in a drawer. Our goal is simple: to give children the tools they need to become responsible, compassionate, and respectful members of society.

Small classes help children feel seen, supported and confident in every session
Every class is capped at 13, so your child is coached rather than counted.
Warrior Academy runs martial arts classes for children aged 2 to 18, and families at four Character Development Centres: Al Quoz, Arjan, and Jumeirah Islands in Dubai, plus Abu Dhabi. Our syllabus draws from karate, jiu jitsu, and taekwondo, and every belt is graded. What sets us apart is the reason we teach. The kicks and throws are the vehicle; the outcome we measure is character, through the 3 C’s of Confidence, Conduct, and Concentration. If you’re comparing martial arts for kids in the UAE, start with a trial class and see the difference in person.
