Judo Classes for Children Aged 5 - 7 Years in Woking and Guildford
You don’t just want an activity. You want a positive influence. A role model. A team. A safe space where your child can grow into someone strong enough to handle the world — without losing their kindness.
That’s what we offer.
At Fighting Fitness Judo, our Bears Programme isn’t just about learning throws or falling safely. It’s about helping your child build the kind of inner strength that lasts a lifetime — while they’re still young enough for it to become who they are.
🧠 Your Concerns Are Real – And You’re Not Alone
If you’re like many parents today, you’re probably worried about:
-
The endless screen time and lack of real-world interaction.
-
Aggressive or unhealthy online influences shaping how your child sees themselves or others.
-
A world that pushes children to grow up too fast — or not fast enough.
-
Your child struggling with confidence, not standing up for themselves, or finding it hard to connect with others.
You may have even said to yourself:
“I just want them to be confident… to feel good about who they are. To be able to handle themselves — emotionally and physically — and to have fun doing it.”
If so, you’re in the right place.
🌱 What Makes Our Programme Different?
We’ve designed our Bears Programme to do one thing: support you in raising a kind, capable, and confident human being.
This means more than just fitness. It means…
✅ Structured social development: Learning to work with others, take turns, listen, and lead — all in a supportive setting.
✅ Emotional resilience: We coach children to stay calm under pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and keep trying even when it’s hard.
✅ Character-building values: Respect, discipline, and personal responsibility are baked into every class — not bolted on.
✅ A screen-free, safe space where positive role models replace online noise and negative behaviour.
All of this happens through judo — a martial art that balances movement, discipline, and fun.
💬 “But My Child Is Shy… Or Struggles to Listen…”
Perfect. That’s exactly why we built this.
Many of our Bears come in with low confidence, short attention spans, or nerves around group activities. Our coaches meet them where they are, and our class structure helps them develop these skills gradually, without pressure.
By the time they’re ready to move into our Sharks programme (8–12 years), most Bears are already standing taller, listening better, and believing in themselves.
💡 The Transformation You Can Expect
From shy or restless to focused, energised, and proud.
From screen-obsessed to movement-loving and socially engaged.
From unsure to unshakably confident.
You’ll notice the difference — not just in class, but at home, at school, and in life.

ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?

They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.

They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.

They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
PARENTING YOUNG CHILDREN IS A REAL CHALLENGE.
You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.
The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need. That’s exactly what our coaching team deliver at our Woking and Guildford Children’s Martial Arts Classes.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Starting martial arts at our Woking and Guildford Dojo is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the dojo. Our 5-7 Years martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.
STUDYING MARTIAL ARTS BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Young children who learn martial arts find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
Is your child 8-12 Years old? We have the perfect programme for them.

YOUNG MARTIAL ARTS STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO FOCUS
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
Is your child 3-4 Years old? We have the perfect programme for them.

MARTIAL ARTS HELPS KIDS LEARN TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION
Martial arts instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the power of persistence.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.

KIDS WHO STUDY MARTIAL ARTS LEARN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.
