Child Frustration Intervention Training
CFIT is the idea Warhorse Training won its award for. Children who are lashing out, shutting down or hurting themselves get a safe, physical outlet. Once the frustration is out, the talking starts.
Parents come to us with children who are self-harming or punching the walls and damaging things. Here they have an outlet to get it out of their system, which then helps them talk about what’s bothering them.
Anton is qualified to support children with additional needs and those on the autism spectrum, and has a track record of fewer eruptions and better communication. Sessions also build patience, teamwork and the habit of following instructions.
The same approach is available for adults as AFIT, Adult Frustration Intervention Training.
Instead of playing with toys, they might try
- Pad drills, kickboxing and karate
- Tyre flips and sledgehammers on tyres
- Slam balls and wall balls
- Breakfalling, taught safely
- Writing words on plates, then smashing them
- Nerf gun fights

The Warhorse Way
People don’t need to fit the system.
The system needs to understand the person.
In your school, nursery or college
Structured frustration intervention that blends therapeutic activity with fitness and fun, tailored for mainstream and SEND pupils.
Schools are seeing more pupil frustration, more disrupted lessons and more stressed teachers, while too many families can’t reach affordable specialist support. Warhorse Training works with teachers, SENCOs, governors and parents to fill that gap, for pupils with SEND, ADHD, ASD, trauma and wellbeing needs.
In-school workshops
Martial arts, fitness and safe frustration outlets. Emotional regulation, resilience, and gross and fine motor skills support for EYFS.
Teacher CPD
Practical frustration strategies, recognising the early signs, and tools that transfer straight into the classroom.
Activity and sports days
Two-hour sessions with tug-o-war, keg runs, tyre flips, battle ropes, baton races, yoga and team workouts. Medals and trophies to be won.
Parent workshops
Emotional regulation strategies and a consistent approach between home and school.
After-school and holiday clubs
The same structured programme, run outside the school day.
What changes
- Pupils
- Confidence and emotional regulation, improved behaviour and respect, better listening and focus.
- Teachers
- Calmer classrooms, reduced stress and more teaching time.
- Families
- Improved communication, stronger relationships and a better understanding of what their child needs.
Funding you can use
SEN and EHCP funding, Pupil Premium, PE and Sport Premium, PTA funds, and local authority and community grants.

I received a 90 minute Swedish massage from Anton this morning. Oh. My. Goodness. I was so relaxed afterwards I couldn’t really talk properly for about an hour. As a massage therapist myself I am super fussy with who treats me, but I’ll absolutely be booking in with Anton again regularly.
“I have the best job in Swindon”
Anton Wilkes started Warhorse Training in 2015 and has run it full-time since 2022, with the help of three volunteers. He estimates he has helped thousands of people since.
He holds 32 qualifications across fitness and other subjects, and works as a personal trainer, martial arts instructor, massage therapist and hairdresser. His clients have entered kickboxing and bodybuilding competitions, run their first 10k, and eased the pain of fibromyalgia.
In 2024 Distinguished Teaching named Warhorse Training the Best Wellness and Personal Fitness Provider in Swindon. The award can’t be bought: it is decided on reviews, verified activity and accreditations.
I just wanted to offer a hand of help if needed and a safe place for people to be.

What clients say

After years of being told I’ll never have a strong upper body due to both arms being permanently dislocated at the elbow, I was disappointed to accept my fate. But then on my 4th session I benched 45kg!
Very great down to earth guy. He’s helped me achieve my first ever 10k, he’s helped improve my mindset and has supported me with my fitness and also my mental health.
Fantastic, professional, reliable, caring. I fell in love with exercise again, which if you know me is something I would have never said.
He always tailors the plan specifically to you and what your body can do, and genuinely cares about your fitness and health.
