TEACHING LIFE SKILLS FOR ON AND OFF THE MAT
We bring a specialized approach to training kids in the art of Muay Thai. Our classes will teach basic self-defense skills through punches and kicks while educating children on the core values that define Muay Thai — respect, discipline, self-belief and teamwork. Our goal is for kids to grow their understanding of what it means to be a martial artist while learning the technicalities of the sport. Kids are treated with the same professionalism as our adults but with more fun and games.
Classes run 45 minutes and include heavy bag work, 1:1 pad work with coaches, floor exercises and partner drills with teammates. View our schedule here.
12-month, 6-month, 3-month and month-by-month payment options available.

FUN, FOCUS AND FRIENDS FOR OUR YOUNGEST "FIGHTERS"
Most gyms don’t offer kids classes starting as early as three years of age because they require a special type of attention and teaching format. For us, it’s our favorite class! We’ve had success teaching children this young how to follow instructions, listen effectively, work and share with others and form healthy habits early. Our Little Rockys program introduces your child to fitness, focus and friends!
Classes run 30 minutes and include one-on-one padwork with coaches, safe partner drills with teammates and simple floor exercises to teach martial arts basics and flexibility.
12-month, 6-month, 3-month and month-by-month payment options available.

a positive start
During your child’s first day, we’ll ease them into class by giving them 1:1 time with the coach and pairing them up with a fellow student so they always have a familiar face to turn to. See below on what to expect & how to prepare for Day 1.
INSTILLING self-belief
Mastering a new talent is both rewarding and exciting for our young students. Watch your child’s confidence grow as they learn a new skill during each class and look forward to stepping back on the mat for the next challenge.
SHARPENING FOCUS
Students of Muay Thai develop heightened awareness and focus. This improved level of mental clarity and concentration is helpful not only in the gym but during daily life, at home and in school.
building social skills
Learning how to engage, socialize and train with peers will benefit students in other areas of their life. While progress is made as an individual, peers will motivate, challenge and root for each other.
LEARNING SELF-DEFENSE
While you hope your child will never need to put them to use, self-defense skills help children build trust in themselves to do the right thing and defend themselves on their feet.
developing strong character
Beyond the technical aspects of Muay Thai, this martial art emphasizes values like discipline, humility, kindness and respect. We teach these principlies in line with our curriculum to grow our students as well-rounded people and athletes.

Won't martial arts make my child want to fight?
No, and the contrary. Martial arts teach self-defense and that violence is not the answer to problems. We teach respect, humility and kindness and prepare students with the skills they need in the event that they run into unfriendly encounters.
