Build a braver,
fitter, more
confident kid.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling and Muay Thai for juniors at Training Grounds, Sefton Lane. Clean mats, clear coaching and zero ego, just discipline, friendship and real self-defence.
Sound familiar?
If this is your child, you're in the right place.
They get picked on
Bullying, or even just the fear of it, follows kids everywhere. We build the physical and mental tools to stand tall.
No screens, no go
Pull the tablet away and the meltdown starts. Jiu-jitsu gives them a challenge worth losing themselves in.
A tank of unspent energy
Zoomies at 9pm and a 6am start. A structured class burns it out the healthy way and ends the day calmer.
More than a sport.
A complete edge.
Self-defence
Real skills to stay safe, not just a belt to show off.
Fitness & focus
Cardio, strength and concentration in every single class.
Discipline
Bows, patience and grit that transfer straight into school.
Confidence
Kids walk taller once they know they can handle anything.
Friendship
A team of mates who push each other to be better.
Respect
Humility built in, you bow to everyone, always.
On the mats
Real classes, real kids, every week.
Meet your coaches
Kevin McAlister & John Smith
With over two decades of experience each, Kevin and John have dedicated their lives to mastering and teaching martial arts. Their deep knowledge and genuine passion for helping people grow shape an inclusive, empowering environment: clean mats, clear coaching and zero ego.
"My lad was so shy starting at Training Grounds. Six months on he walks into the room first. Kev and John are brilliant with the kids."
"Best thing we've done in Maghull. No egos, spotless mats, and the coaching is clear enough that beginners never feel lost."
"She used to dread school after being picked on. Jiu-jitsu gave her something that's completely hers. Can't recommend it enough."
