Martial arts is an enriching and empowering experience for every child and comes with a wealth of benefits. Here are some of the ways we can help.
1
Skill development
Martial arts is not only useful for self-defence but also helps develop fine motor skills, such as balance, flexibility and coordination. This, in turn, helps with confidence and more.

Character building
Our karate, jiu jitsu, and taekwondo classes (among others) are designed to showcase and teach respect and courtesy to one’s fellow students and instructors. They also help develop discipline and focus.
3

Our self-defence classes are also highly focused on cooperation, socialisation and teamwork. Your child will learn to develop new ways to handle stressors and exercise greater emotional control.
4
Safety and well-being
At our dojo in Abu Dhabi, our biggest focus is on strong character development alongside learning and practising injury prevention. Building these healthy habits is an absolute must for every child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need to know something about The Warrior Academy? We’ve listed our most commonly asked questions. If you don’t see what you need, please feel free to give us a call, and we’ll be happy to help.
Yes, we have a unique syllabus based around the ITF (International Taekwondo Federation) belt system, and regularly transition students from other styles to our belts, and our students who move on to other styles transition quickly. We are regulated by the WKF (World Karate Federation) and the UAE Karate Federation, meaning no matter where your child trains, their belt level will be recognised.
In our classes, your child is learning all of the important techniques to help them transition from our syllabus to ITF or WTF taekwondo, Muay Thai or even Karate. We have never had a student be turned away because of their belt, quite the opposite, our students are praised for how versatile they are and how quickly they pick up techniques compared to other styles.
When the Warrior Academy started, we were part of the ITF organisation. The challenge we found is that the strict rules and politics of the organisation restricted our ability to really maximise the character development aspect of our programme. Martial arts is great, but developing your child’s character is what sets them up for a happy and successful life as an adult. Since we made this bold change, we have won countless awards for our programme and our transformations.
In WTF or ITF organisation’s it takes around 3-4 years on average to earn a black belt. In our programme, our students take on average 6-8 years. We are so confident in the quality of our black belts that we guarantee everyone who gets a black belt a job in our Academy.
Yes! We have run competitions for over a decade and have had incredible success with our students. Our programme has created over 50 national champions.
Yes! We have strong connections with multiple national teams around the world. In 2021, we worked closely with Team GB Taekwondo to help bring former athletes to the UAE to further their careers.
