It is well documented that this era is one of the hardest times to be a kid. From overuse of social media, societal pressure to grow up too fast, to the exponential rise of bullying in schools. In fact, one out of every four children suffer from bullying at some point in his or her school career.
Boxing & mixed martial arts training can be a huge benefit for children who suffer from bullying, learning MMA tactics can give children the confidence and discipline to defuse a violent situation. They can learn how to prevent violence, as well as how to defend themselves if other techniques don’t work. These no-punch, no-kick methods allow children to neutralise their bullies while causing as little harm as possible.
Becoming involved in an MMA training program can give children a safe, healthy place to be physically active, as well as a form of activity they can enjoy. That helps build stronger bodies and improve overall health. It also helps children feel more confident about their bodies and develop the strength and flexibility to deal with a difficult situation.
Our kids form a special bond with their classmates and learn to make new friends. Kids who have better social skills and a greater sense of community.
The lessons for our kids are split into two groups 6 – 9 year olds and 9+, we run regular assessments for the older group identifying individuals ready for adult classes.
6 – 9 Years Old
At this early stage we give the children exposure to multiple disciplines. The classes include Boxing, MMA striking and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). The children are taught to treat each other with respect and how to behave in a martial arts gym. This foundation in martial arts is adaptable to self defense situations these young people may face in the world today, whilst also improving fitness and providing a sense of teamwork.
We offer two classes a week for this age group so choose the Bronze package.
9 Years +
With our 9+ group we tailor the classes to children who are just starting their boxing and martial arts journey, plus helping the more advance kids refine their skills. As the children progress through this age group, they can either continue to learn all disciplines or pick one they want to develop (eg, Boxing, MMA or BJJ).
