Progress Through Play

PlayStrong

Courageous. Curious. Capable.

Who We Are...

Real-World Skills, Real-Life Confidence

PlayStrong is a kids’ self-defence system based in Porthcawl, South Wales, centred around building skills through play.

We use fun, task-based games to help children aged 4–14 develop self-defence skills, social skills, and confidence.

No standing in lines, no listening to long lectures — just lots of exercise, fun, and learning that works.

Our Approach...

We use a modern, science-based approach to skill acquisition, where children learn by exploring, experimenting, and adapting.

Instead of repeating boring drills over-and-over, or standing in lines and punching thin air — we use meaningful play that develops self-defence skills naturally.

We understand that a curated and challenging environment is the most effective teacher, and so our kids learn to move well, think quickly, and stay calm

Our values...

Making Mighty Mini Movers!

Our goal is to give kids the tools they needs to thrive

Curiosity First

We create an environment where children are free to explore, experiment, and discover solutions through play. Curiosity drives confidence — and we design every activity to nurture that natural spark.

Courage Through Play

We use fun, dynamic challenges to help kids develop bravery, calmness under pressure, and real-world self-defence skills. Every game builds character, confidence, and a sense of personal capability.

Freedom to Fail

Mistakes are not just allowed; they’re essential. We help children learn through trial, error, and adaptation, building resilience, self-belief, and problem-solving skills that go way beyond the mats.
