Program Description
Our kid’s self-defence program has been carefully developed over 10 years by owner and 2nd degree black belt Ivan Voronoff while teaching here in Melbourne. It’s based on his 23 years of experience training across Australia and in Brazil. In his classes he focuses on balance, posture, co-ordination and body position. Our kids program is not just about the physical benefits for your child. It will also teach them valuable life skills and core values such as confidence, courtesy, focus, discipline, teamwork, mental strength, and self-control. Your child will also be equipped with a number of non-violent strategies to deter bullies, without becoming one.

What people say
Great place for kids. Our daughter has been training here for a couple of years and enjoys every session. Great for fitness, confidence and learning life skills. And unlike other centres, classes continue through school holidays, which is a huge plus for us.
My partner and I have recently put our 5 year old son into the Academy and it has been fantastic to see the gradual change in his behaviour. We have tried other sports like soccer and tennis, which have all been good, but our son loves jiu-jitsu the most and we can see how the lessons are helping him. He is a hyperactive kid like most, but with constant care and attention as well as firm guidance from Ivan and his fellow teachers, it is helping him develop his respect and calmness.
