Outcomes
What Kids Learn
Our program develops the whole child — not just their athletic skills.
Problem-Solving Under Pressure
Grappling is live problem-solving. Every scramble forces kids to read, react, and adapt in real time — a skill that transfers directly to school and life.
Practical Self-Defence
Wrestling and BJJ teach control without striking. Kids learn to manage distance, take someone down safely, and hold position — the most practical self-defence skills there are.
Earned Confidence
Confidence from grappling is earned, not given. Kids who learn to stay calm underneath a heavier training partner carry that composure everywhere.
Safest Combat Sport
No punching, no kicking. Wrestling and BJJ have the lowest injury rates of any combat sport for children — contact is controlled and progressive.
Resilience & Sportsmanship
Every round ends with a handshake. Kids learn to lose, adjust, and come back stronger — not just physically, but in how they handle setbacks.
Full-Body Athleticism
Wrestling develops grip strength, explosiveness, balance, and coordination in ways that ball sports can't. Kids build an athletic base that supports any future sport.
Safety
Safety & Environment
Your child's safety is our top priority. Here's how we ensure a secure training environment.

Qualified Olympic-Level Coach
Coach Artem Kotov brings international coaching credentials including Olympic team experience. Every class is led by a qualified professional who understands child development and age-appropriate training.

What Parents Say
Hear from parents who trust MKA with their children's training.
“Coach Artem is an outstanding wrestling coach. Since training with him, my son has never been stronger or faster - and most importantly, he absolutely loves the classes. The sessions are intense, and my son often trains 2 or 3 hours back to back, but Artem creates an environment that pushes the kids while keeping them motivated and engaged. The improvement in my son's strength, speed, and overall athleticism has been incredible to see. Highly recommend Artem to any parent looking for serious training and real results.”
Aaron Conway
Google Review
“MKA is great if you want your child to learn proper grappling with real takedowns, top control and realistic self defence. Coach Artem has a clear system for kids, building from the basics so they understand both wrestling and BJJ and learn to enjoy working hard. I hesitated to write this because I don't really want the gym to get too crowded, but good coaching in Singapore deserves support. If you or your child are serious about improving and open to learning, you'll really appreciate this place.”
