Junior Shaolin (Ages 8–11)
Develop Skills. Build Character.
Junior Shaolin is UK Shaolin’s martial arts programme for children aged 8–11 years, designed to develop strong technical foundations while building confidence, discipline and resilience.
As children grow, they are ready to take on new challenges. Through authentic Shaolin Kung Fu, Wushu and Junior Sanda Kickboxing, students learn practical martial arts skills in a structured, encouraging and supportive environment that promotes both personal and physical development.
Training focuses on developing correct technique, coordination, flexibility, strength and fitness, while helping children improve their concentration, perseverance and self-discipline. Students are encouraged to work towards personal goals, celebrate their achievements and develop a positive attitude to learning.
Junior Shaolin provides an excellent balance between traditional martial arts training and modern youth development, preparing children to progress confidently into our Teen Warriors programme.

More Than Martial Arts
We believe martial arts should help children succeed both inside and outside the training hall.
Our instructors encourage every student to develop positive habits that support them at school, at home and in everyday life. Through consistent training, children learn the value of commitment, perseverance and respect while becoming more confident and independent.
Whether your child is new to martial arts or has previous experience, Junior Shaolin provides a welcoming environment where every student can learn, improve and enjoy their martial arts journey.
A Structured Pathway for Progression
Students follow a clear pathway that encourages continuous development through regular training, personal improvement and progressive learning.
As children gain experience and confidence, they are well prepared to progress into our Teen Warriors programme, where they continue developing advanced martial arts skills and leadership qualities.
Suitable for children aged 8–11 years.
