Helping Young People
Find Purpose
Through
Discipline, Movement
& Growth
At The Way Forward Academy, we use the structure and discipline of martial arts to help young people grow — mentally, physically, and emotionally. Our sessions support behaviour, confidence, and self-esteem in a safe, engaging environment.
Mixed Martial
Arts (MMA)
A combination of striking and grappling disciplines that builds discipline, focus, and resilience.
Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
A ground-based martial art that teaches calm problem-solving, self-control, and confidence.
Boxing &
Kickboxing
Striking arts that develop coordination, discipline, and respect.
Wrestling
Fundamentals
A physical, technique-based discipline that improves strength, effort, and determination.
All sessions are delivered in a safe, structured, and controlled environment, led by experienced professionals who understand the needs of children — including those with SEN or behavioural challenges.
We don’t just teach martial arts — we mentor young people to build life skills, learn self-defence, and pursue something meaningful.
Reviews
"Kieran has an extraordinary talent for working with children, especially those with challenging behaviors. He approaches each young person with genuine care, patience, and understanding, helping them to channel their energy in productive ways through MMA and personal training.
His ability to connect with and inspire these children is truly admirable, and he consistently encourages them to believe in their potential to better themselves."
