Discover your inner Warrior with our diverse self-defence classes in Al Quoz.
Welcome to The Warrior Academy in Al Joud Centre — a leading martial arts training centre where children of all ages can thrive and discover their true potential with our youth martial arts programme.
Our training for children goes beyond just an after-school activity. It’s about physical fitness, character development and a holistic approach to total well-being. Whether you enrol your child in beginner karate classes or you’d like to see them progress through competition karate, your child will be led by some of the best and most experienced instructors in a warm and welcoming environment.
This diverse programme brings together teachings from karate, jiu jitsu, and other disciplines to create a unique experience that transcends the physical to develop mental, social, and personal skills.
At The Warrior Academy in Al Quoz, we’ve refined the art of teaching martial arts into a holistic approach that takes physical and mental development to new heights. Explore the range of advantages you and your child can experience when you sign up with us.
1
As part of our martial arts training program, you can build strength and conditioning through ancient disciplines like karate and jiu-jitsu and modern ones like MMA. Plus, our anti-bullying programmes create a culture where challenging situations can be diffused with mastery.
2
Outside of physical conditioning, our confidence-building, self-defence classes are designed to help each student feel confident in themselves and their abilities. Through self-defence techniques, you’ll feel empowered to handle life’s challenges head-on.
3
Martial arts is as much about the physical training as it is about the mental discipline and development. We create an environment where discipline and focus training are encouraged and where respect for all is a must.
4
Another major advantage of our self-defence classes is that you, your child, or the entire family can enjoy belt progression and rank advancement that helps you feel confident in your abilities as you progress through each stage of the learning process.

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 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.
With a global and expanding presence, we are both proud and humbled to be one of the best martial arts schools for kids. We’ve achieved this through a lot of hard work and dedication to helping every child thrive. With our extensive focus on life skills, our inclusive classes and the welcoming environment we create for each child, we ensure every member of your family absolutely thrives while discovering their true potential.
It’s time to choose the right activity for your child and enrol them in our kids’ martial arts programme in Al Joud Centre, Dubai. We’re conveniently located and very happy to welcome you to our family.
