Junior Martial Arts

Junior is for children in Years 2–4. Children do not need any previous experience. New children are welcomed and learn the programme step by step.

The children get to try out Kali, BJJ and kickboxing as part of a structured programme. The content varies from time to time, so not all styles are necessarily practised in the same session.

Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. The children get to try tasks that they don’t always succeed at straight away. We practise pausing, listening, making adjustments and trying again. The aim is for the child to become more confident in tackling challenges without giving up.

Ordinary sportswear without zips, metal or sharp parts is fine. Children train barefoot. Bring a water bottle and a bag for clothes and personal belongings.

Not during the free trial week. All the necessary equipment can be borrowed. Once you’ve signed up for membership, your child will need the starter pack that comes with the membership. Please wait to buy it until you’ve received the correct information from us.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes before the session so that your child has time to get changed, go to the toilet and be ready when we start. If you arrive after the session has started, your child will have to wait until the next session. This is to ensure safety, structure and calm within the group.

When parking outside Ægirsvei 10, your car's number plate must be registered to receive 2.5 hours of free parking.

A parent or guardian must ensure that the child is dropped off and collected safely at the agreed time. Please inform the instructor clearly if another adult is to collect the child, or if the child is allowed to go home on their own. Children must not be left without an agreed arrangement after the lesson.

It’s good to have an adult present the first time. Afterwards, we’d like the training area to be as quiet and focused as possible. Please check with the instructor if your child needs you to stay nearby.

Please record any absences in the membership log. Regular training makes it easier to keep up with the group and is important if your child wishes to take a grading exam later on.

No. Children with a fever, vomiting, a contagious illness, contagious skin conditions or open wounds must not take part in training. Nails must be kept short, and kit and equipment must be clean.

Yes, but grading is optional. We normally hold grading sessions twice a year. Attendance, effort and submitting a correctly completed form by the deadline are important. You can find the dates and deadlines in the term schedule.

The children’s and youth teams generally follow the school holidays. If there’s no school, there’s normally no training. Always check the term calendar for any changes, camps and start dates.

No. The summer camp and Christmas camp are organised as training weekends at KKS. Children are dropped off and collected every day. Participation is voluntary, and information is posted on the relevant camp page.

Families in need of financial support can find out more about the Leisure Fund in Kristiansand Municipality. KKS provides information about the scheme, but applications and assessments are handled by the municipality.

Please label the kit, belt, gloves, sticks, water bottle and bag with your child’s name. Everything must be taken home after each training session. Wash the training kit and air or clean the equipment before the next session.
