Architecture firm Kidz designed a Jiu-Jitsu gym that is meant for children to easily navigate around. The space is modeled on a boxing ring with a wooden amphitheater as the center space. The sports club is the newest of a range of venues across the Middle East and is meant to teach children Brazilian martial arts.
The project architect, Ruben Movsisian shares more on the design, "The idea is that children shouldn't get distracted by anything and at the same time they need to understand the space easily. Big blocks and big ideas – everything was created for children's perception of the world. [...] Children can visually explore and understand how various systems function, a principle commonly applied in school and kindergarten design both locally and internationally."
