Helping children discover their potential since 2012.
At Młodzi Wojownicy, we use martial arts as a tool to support children's physical, cognitive, emotional and social development.
We are Monika and Konrad, the people behind our Child Development Center.Together, we bring experience in working with children, teaching, business management and running our own organization.
We offer development-focused classes where children learn new skills, take on challenges, build relationships and grow in confidence.
Over the years, we have refined our teaching methods, developed our team's skills and gained experience while participating in the growth of the international SKILLZ methodology.
We started in Konstancin. Today, you can find us at Galeria Ursynów.
We have been working with children since 2012.Our first classes took place in Konstancin-Jeziorna. We later moved to Natolin in Warsaw, and today our Child Development Center operates from its premises at Galeria Ursynów.
Over the years, we have supported children at many stages of their development, from their first attempts on the mat to taking on challenges with growing independence.
Our practical experience, ongoing training and everyday work help us continually improve the quality of our classes.

Today, we are part of the international SKILLZ community, using its evolving programs, teaching resources and instructor training.
Konrad is the coach children genuinely enjoy spending time with.

Children enjoy his classes, love training with him and know they can count on his support.
At the Center, Konrad is responsible for teaching, training quality and developing our coaching team.He shares his experience with other coaches, mentors young leaders in S.T.O.R.M. TEAM and applies new SKILLZ teaching tools in everyday practice.
He is also Nikodem's dad, which gives him valuable insight into both a coach's and a parent's perspective.
On the mat, he combines experience, intuition, energy and a natural ability to work with children.

Management, Operations and Business DevelopmentMonika oversees the operational, administrative and business side of Młodzi Wojownicy.
She makes sure that behind the classes children and parents see, there is a well-organized and properly managed business.
Her responsibilities include day-to-day operations, registrations, documentation, financial matters, planning, event and camp logistics, and all the other essential tasks involved in running the Center.
She holds a degree in English Philology with a teaching specialization.She has also developed her skills in management, marketing, graphic design and UX/UI design, with a focus on creating intuitive, user-friendly digital experiences.
She brings these skills together by creating materials, developing our websites, improving the registration process and making it easier for families to access our services.
While training is underway on the mat, Monika takes care of everything that needs to happen behind the scenes. Today, tomorrow and in the months ahead.
From a great class idea to a well-run Child Development Center.
Children and parents mainly see what happens on the mat.Behind every class, however, there is much more: coach preparation, group organization, event planning, administration and the daily work of the entire team.
Preparing the classes
Konrad develops the programs and their practical delivery, trains instructors and ensures the quality of each class.
Keeping everything running
Monika manages the business operations, including timetables, registrations, logistics, finances, administration and planning future initiatives.

Together, these two areas make it possible for children to take part in regular classes, special events and each new stage of their SKILLZ journey.
Child development is at the heart of everything we do.
We use martial arts to create opportunities for children to develop new abilities, build relationships and experience meaningful progress.
More than movement
We support children's physical, cognitive, emotional and social development.
Every child has their own pace
We recognize individual differences and adapt activities to children's ages and abilities.
Trust and respect
We build positive relationships, encourage cooperation and maintain clear, understandable rules.
Training should be fun, too
We offer challenges and teach new skills, and after stretching, we always end each class with a game.
We learn from experienced educators and put that knowledge into practice.
The SKILLZ methodology, developed by Melody Johnson, continues to evolve through instructor experience, new resources and training focused on child development.
We use Teaching SKILLZ, Brain SKILLZ, Confidence SKILLZ and other tools that support our coaching team.
We also develop our skills through SKILLZ and SKILLZ Premier Institute training, including neuroscience, metacognition, emotional intelligence and class management.
The knowledge we gain translates into practical decisions during classes: how we give instructions, choose challenges, motivate children and respond when they encounter difficulties.
Explore our teaching methodology (Polish page) →Child development continues beyond the training mat.
The skills children practice during SKILLZ classes are valuable in everyday life, too.
Concentration, self-control, patience, cooperation, communication and managing emotions all matter at home, at school and in relationships.
This is why we also support parents by sharing knowledge about child development and practical ways to help children grow every day.
One of these resources is Parent SKILLZ, a program designed to help parents better understand their children and build meaningful relationships.
