We offer classes in Mixed Martial Arts/Self Defense for children ages 5-12 Monday-Friday. This age group is split up into two classes (5-8 years old and 8-12 years old) to allow for directed instruction at an age-appropriate level. Multiple certified adult instructors are present to ensure proper supervision and individual attention. All children in our kid’s martial arts program begin at white belt. They are then reassessed at regular intervals where they have the opportunity to earn stripes or advance their belt color (depending on their current status). With our children’s martial arts program we are primarily focused on focus, self-discipline, teamwork, and building confidence. Advancement at Brazen Martial Arts is dependent on these key factors as well as individual improvement from the previous assessment rather than predefined milestones.

Many martial arts schools focus either on self defense while standing (Karate, Tae Kwon Do) or while on the ground (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu).  Nearly all altercations start while standing, and most end up on the ground.  At Brazen Martial Arts our kid’s martial arts curriculum places equal emphasis on both standing and ground situations and also how to move between the two in order to ensure your child has the tools necessary to protect themselves.  We teach children that violence is always a last resort.  We focus on teaching them to be aware of their surroundings and to seek help from an adult when possible.

Our Kid’s MMA classes include live wrestling/BJJ rounds so that they are well-prepared for real life and sport situations. Our kid’s classes do not feature live sparring between students for kickboxing. Our coaches will spar with the students to help them work on striking self defense while keeping them safe from unnecessary head injuries.
