The Warrior Academy runs adult martial arts classes at three academies: Al Quoz and Jumeirah Islands in Dubai, and Al Wahda Mall, Abu Dhabi. Adults train in the same syllabus as our children: karate, taekwondo, jiu jitsu, boxing and Muay Thai, taught as one well-rounded system.
What you’ll learn
Classes cover striking from boxing and Muay Thai, kicking from karate and taekwondo, and grappling and self-defence from jiu jitsu. You build fitness, confidence and practical skills, working towards belts that are earned at gradings.
Who it’s for
Complete beginners are welcome, and so are adults returning to martial arts after a break. If you’d rather train alongside your child, see our family martial arts classes.
Where adult classes run
Al Quoz is at Al Joud Centre, a short drive from Al Safa, Umm Suqeim, Al Wasl, Al Barsha and Business Bay. Jumeirah Islands is close to Jumeirah Park, The Springs, The Meadows, Emirates Hills, JLT and Dubai Marina. Abu Dhabi is at Al Wahda Mall. Check each academy’s class times for the current adult schedule.
Questions adults ask
Do I need any experience or fitness to start?
No. Instructors adapt drills to your level from the first session, and fitness builds as you train.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable sports clothing is fine for a trial class.
