The Warrior Academy Al Quoz is a sports school offering martial arts classes for children from age 2 to 13, including karate, taekwondo, jiu jitsu, boxing, and Muay Thai.
Classes run from 3:00 pm to 7:30 pm, with specific times for different skill levels and age groups. The school provides a quiet environment and offers online bookings. Their curriculum is based on the ITF belt system, ensuring students receive high-quality training that supports their development. The academy is committed to helping students transition between styles and is known for its dedicated approach to character building through martial arts.
Yes, we have a unique syllabus based around the ITF (International Tae Kwon Do Federation) belt system and regularly transition students from other styles to our belts and our students who move onto 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 techniques up are compared to other styles.
When the Warrior Academy started we were part of the ITF organisation. The challenge we found is the strict rules and politics of the organisation restricted our ability to really 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 on the quality of our black belts that we guarantee everyone who gets a black belt a job in our Academy.
