Ages 6 to 12
Beginner Kids
Real martial arts and real life skills, for kids ready to build confidence, discipline, and the ability to stand up for themselves and others.
More than martial arts
As a parent, one of the greatest gifts you can give your child is a positive self-image, paired with respect, purpose, and compassion. That's the child who looks out for themselves and for others. Our Beginner Kids program is built to develop exactly that: kids who take what they learn on the mat and carry it into school, friendships, and home.
We do it through classes that are safe, exciting, and genuinely fun, but still challenging. Kids build a positive mental focus, an “I can do it” attitude, and a real love of exercise, along with self-confidence, self-discipline, and respect for themselves and others.
The curriculum
Kids start with the fundamentals and grow from there:
- Boxing and Muay Thai kicks
- Takedowns and elemental Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
- Our Bully Defense Program
- Strength, stability, and conditioning through games and drills
Alongside the physical skills, our mental and emotional curriculum is taught through samurai stories built on four pillars: Focus, Motivation, Belief, and Action.
A clear path forward
Beginner Kids is a one-year program with a real milestone at the end. Students test their skills to graduate to the next level, where they begin more advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and start live kickboxing sparring. Progress here means something, and kids feel it every step of the way.
Confidence that stands up to bullies
Our Bully Defense Program gives kids the tools to handle conflict with calm and confidence. The goal isn't to raise fighters. It's to raise kids who are secure enough that they rarely need to, and capable enough to protect themselves and others if it ever comes to that.
FAQ
Common questions
What ages is the Beginner Kids program for?
Ages 6 to 12. It's the next step up from our Little Dragons program and the starting point for kids new to martial arts.
My child has never done martial arts. Is that okay?
That's exactly who this program is for. Every student starts as a beginner, and the curriculum is built to bring them along from day one.
Do you help kids deal with bullying?
Yes. Our Bully Defense Program is a core part of the curriculum. We teach kids to handle conflict with confidence and to protect themselves and others when needed.
What will my child actually learn?
Boxing, Muay Thai kicks, takedowns, and beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, plus conditioning and a life-skills curriculum built around focus, motivation, belief, and action.
Is it safe? Do they spar?
Safety is built into how we teach. Beginners learn through controlled drills, not live fighting. Live kickboxing sparring only comes later, after students graduate to the next level.
How does my child move up?
Beginner Kids is a one-year program. At the end, students test to graduate into more advanced training, including advanced BJJ and live sparring.
