Challenges Our Classes Help Solve

"Every parent wants their child to grow up confident, respectful, and resilient, but today’s world makes it harder than ever. Bullying, peer pressure, online distractions, and low self‑esteem can hold kids back".

This is what we hear from parents every day...

But It Doesn't Have To Be That Way

At Gannon’s Martial Arts, we provide more than just an activity. Our classes give children the skills, habits, and support they need to succeed in school, at home, and in life.

Many parents worry about their child’s:

Confidence when facing bullying or peer pressure.

Focus and discipline with schoolwork and home routines.

Respect - for themselves, their teachers, and their family.

Finding a positive, supportive community.

More Than Martial Arts

A Community That Builds Stronger Kids and Families

Founded by Master Paul Gannon, Gannon’s Martial Arts has grown from a single academy to a trusted community with 24 locations across the UK & Ireland.

While Paul remains the guiding force and visionary, each school is led by a team of professional, passionate instructors dedicated to helping children grow in every aspect of life.

Our mission is simple; to make martial arts more than a sport. It’s a tool for building character, improving discipline, and creating positive habits that shape strong, confident, and respectful young people.

We believe in giving back to the community by providing a safe, welcoming environment where kids thrive, parents feel supported, and families grow closer together.

Creating community: Giving families a safe, positive environment where kids thrive...

Developing leaders: Guiding children step by step so they feel proud of every achievement...

“My 7-year-old had his first class last week and absolutely loved it. The instructor took the time to make him feel included from day one. He’s already excited for his next class!”

Frequently Asked Questions

For Parents of Kids (Ages 5–13)

My child is shy. Will they fit in?

Yes. Many kids start shy, but our instructors know how to gently build confidence step by step. Within a few sessions, most children are smiling, engaged, and eager to participate.

My child isn’t sporty. Can they still do martial arts?

Absolutely. Martial arts is for every child, whether they’re naturally athletic or not. Classes are structured so every child feels included, and progress is celebrated at their own pace.

How does martial arts help at school?

Our training builds focus, discipline, and respect. Parents often notice improvements in listening skills, concentration, and overall behaviour at school after just a few weeks of training.

What if I have more than one child who wants to join?

We offer a simple family membership option, which allows siblings, or even a parent and child, to train together at a reduced combined price. It’s a great way for families to share the benefits of martial arts.

Will martial arts make my child aggressive?

Not at all. Our focus is on self-control, respect, and positive behaviour. Children actually become calmer, more respectful, and more resilient through martial arts training.

What happens if my child loses interest?

It’s normal for kids to try new things, but our classes stay engaging with new challenges, belt progressions, and positive rewards. Most children are excited to keep training once they start seeing their own progress.
