Kid's Mixed Martial Arts Classes

Hopefully your child never gets picked on or bullied, but unfortunately there are bullies and they do torment other kids. Our kid’s mixed martial arts classes for kids are specifically designed to give your child the skills to defend and “bullyproof” themselves. There are no rules in a schoolyard or playground fight, someone can try to sucker punch, shove, kick, grab, choke, use a weapon on your child. Many fights start over nothing and can escalate quickly. If the proper supervision isn’t around or paying attention, your child could get hurt. At Wesley Chapel MMA we offer a mixed martial arts program of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, so your child will have the skills and be prepared to defend themselves in all situations.

Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the foundation and cornerstone of our kid’s mixed martial arts program. Using proper Jiu-Jitsu techniques will easily neutralize a bigger person, put your child in a position of control and most importantly keep them safe. Your child will learn how to leverage a bigger person’s mass to their advantage, how to apply joint locks to make the biggest bully stop and the principle of action/reaction, which means if someone shoves or pushes you, you don’t push back, you learn how to pull them towards you and use BJJ to end the fight safely and quickly. Your child should be able to resolve most situations with Jiu-Jitsu and not have to strike anyone. We don’t advocate striking, but your child should understand how to defend and strike, if necessary, from a standing position. We’ve put together a kid’s Muay Thai program that teaches kids how to properly defend, strike and takedown people while from a standing position.

Unlike other sports, everyone starts at Wesley Chapel MMA, so there’s no bench to sit on while some other kids have all the fun and get all the playing time. It’s one team and everybody plays in mixed martial arts. All students are given the same high quality of instruction and get to be part of a team.
