LIFESKILLS
Life skills they'll always be grateful for We provide Martial Arts classes for kids from the age of 3yrs old. Through our structured training programs, we introduce kids to the principles of Martial Arts and get them started on their journey to developing the skills and attitudes necessary to have the confidence to be able to defend themselves should the worst happen.
Emphasis is on developing mobility, strength, flexibility, confidence, and fitness. Classes are arranged according to age and ability
PREVENT BULLYING
Dealing with Bullying - Our approach at Rivals, we are dedicated to instilling a comprehensive and practical understanding of Martial Arts to stop and prevent bullying from adversely affecting our child and youth practitioners. Bullying comes in many different forms, especially when kids are alone and away from friends or family. In our classes, there is a strong emphasis on identifying the many signs of bullying and learning how to de-escalate without resorting to physical altercations studied in class. We encourage the kids to talk openly about any issues they come to encounter.
The benefits of Martial Arts for your childAs with almost everything in life, starting early in life is the best way to go.
SELF DEFENCE
Our goal at Rivals is simple; to give our children essential self-defence knowledge to empower them with life skills, confidence and a healthy sense of self-esteem learned through Martial Arts. In today’s reality, we must be as vigilant as ever. Martial Arts provides necessary tools to safeguard our kids from a wide array of threats and give them the confidence to do so intelligently and independently should the need arise.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE & SOCIAL SKILLS
Martial arts & Boxing can help children build confidence and self-esteem, which can make them less likely to be targeted by bullies. When children feel confident in their abilities, they are less likely to feel threatened or vulnerable.
Throughout our sessions children interact with others and work as a team, which can help improve social skills and build relationships with peers. This will also help adults thrive in various environments also
What some of our members are saying
Brilliant gym. Joined in Dec and have been attending two classes a week. Everyone who attends classes are friendly and every coach / fighter who has led a class has been really nice and spent a lot of time helping us improve our technique. Loved every session so far! Really tough, but really fun!

Over the years, I have trained at a variety of gyms but none can compare to being at rivals. The coaching is at another level with everyone dedicated to helping each other improve without any egos getting in the way. It's a great atmosphere and I highly recommend it if you're looking for more than just a gym experience
• Nicholas McInally
I started rivals gym in East Kilbride in December of 2022 and since being here it’s been not but amazing from the class mates all the way to the coaches the training sessions are intense and the coaches really push you to be better. I would definitely recommend for anyone who’s looking to start a martial art if it’s for fitness or if you are looking to compete you will not be disappointed as it’s nothing but good vibes and welcoming team.
