Building Confident Kids Through Martial Arts in Gloucester
At Kicx Academy in Gloucester, we believe martial arts is more than just kicks and punches—it’s about helping children grow into confident, respectful, and focused young people.
Founded by world champion Stephen Thompson, Kicx has become a trusted place for families looking for kids martial arts classes in Gloucester that focus on life skills, not just sport.
Our team is passionate about child development, using structured martial arts lessons and our Champions Character Programme to teach responsibility, resilience, and respect.
We don’t just build martial artists—we build champions in life. Every child leaves class standing taller, feeling stronger, and ready to make positive choices.
“I cannot recommend Kicx highly enough. Our son, Bailey, loves it. Master T and his team are outstandingly patient and such great fun with the kids—helping each and every child develop resiliency, begin with the end in mind, and listen with their heart. All fantastic foundations for life!”
