We understand how important it is to teach kids the fundamentals of discipline and respect from an early age.

Find the right fit for your child by reading each of our age-appropriate program descriptions below:

Tiny Thai Boxers

AGES 5-6

This program is fun and interactive and is designed with a focus on basic Muay Thai principles and techniques.

Your child will learn to punch, kick, knee and elbow in a safe and fun environment. They will become more agile and flexible as we develop their athletic skills through body weight exercises, martial arts techniques and games.

As they progress through the program, they will gain the following: approaches to anti-bullying, opportunities to help their teammates, improved social skills and a general working knowledge of Muay-Thai and Boxing techniques.

Junior Muay Thai

AGES 7-9

This is a 1 hour class where participants develop a base in Muay Thai so they will be able to effectively execute and apply basic Muay Thai skills:  Kicks, Punches, Knees and Elbows. They will incorporate these techniques in combinations and through situational drills with a partner or within a small group.

They will increase their athletic capabilities, and they will learn to develop the capacity to overcome challenges through consistent work, and a focus driven approach to problem solving which can be applied both in and outside of the club.

Youth Muay Thai

AGES 10-12

This is a 1 hour class which consists of exercises specific for the sport, traditional Muay Thai techniques, partnered training and “game like” fun sparring. We like to keep sparring time light, as well as make it a fun and positive activity. Our goal during kids’ class is to build confidence rather than anxiety when approached with physical contact.

Our program goals here in this class include:

  • Improving students
  • Understanding of Muay Thai
  • Increasing students knowledge base
  • Application of Muay Thai principles & techniques
  • Preparation for competition for those who are interested
