Real-world Krav Maga and self-defence on your doorstep at YMCA Thornton. Our open Saturday morning session welcomes all ages from 5 up — the perfect place for Thornton, Cleveleys, Anchorsholme and Fleetwood families to start. A child's first session is free.
YMCA Thornton on Victoria Road East (FY5 3SX) is home to our open weekend session — and it's just minutes from Cleveleys seafront, Marsh Mill and the centre of Thornton. There's a car park on site and the slot is deliberately family-friendly: all ages 5 and over train together, so parents and children can come along at the same time.
It's the easiest possible way to try Krav Maga. No experience, no kit, no pressure — just turn up in loose clothes and trainers, learn two rounds of genuinely useful self-defence, and decide whether it's for you. Kids' first session is free; adults can trial two classes for £19.99.
Want to train more than once a week? Our Blackpool venues run Monday to Wednesday evenings, all a short drive down the coast. See the full timetable →
