Who we are

One system.
Every range.

Tiger Kai is a modern, globally evolved martial art — advanced fighting and self-defence drawn from Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, Judo, Aikido, Wrestling, Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. One integrated system that trains you standing up, in the clinch and on the ground.

Our gyms run a full boxing ring, an MMA cage, thick padded flooring, thai pads, shields and a complete gym floor — plus a nutrition, supplement and clothing shop. Our instructors are internationally graded and nationally titled, and we're affiliated to boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, kickboxing and Krav Maga bodies, so our students can compete from club level right through to international, amateur to pro.

Children

Bully‑proof
your child.

Safe, short, interesting, challenging, informative. We blend gymnastics, martial arts and creative movement into one curriculum — so children learn to defend themselves while they're having too much fun to notice.

Martial arts is proven to help children build attention skills and cope with the challenges of ADD and ADHD. It builds independence, optimism and self-acceptance — and it takes away the quiet fear that makes a child a target in the first place.

If size counted, elephants would be king of the jungle.
