Junior Muay Thai 

Our Junior Muay Thai program is designed specifically for kids and teenagers who are eager to learn martial arts, build confidence and strength, and improve focus, all while having a great time in a safe and supportive environment.

Muay Thai, also known as the “Art of Eight Limbs,” is an exciting and effective martial art that incorporates punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. It’s a fantastic way to develop self-defense skills, confidence, and athleticism. Our Junior Muay Thai program offers a dynamic approach, blending traditional techniques with modern training methods to ensure kids are learning in a fun, engaging, and challenging way.

Junior Muay Thai classes will:

  • Improve Fitness: Through Muay Thai, your child will gain strength, agility, flexibility, and endurance—skills that translate to all aspects of life.
  • Develop Discipline: Our classes encourage focus, respect, and self-control, empowering kids to excel both in and outside of the gym.
  • Gain Confidence: As children progress in their training, they’ll build confidence by mastering new skills and seeing the results of their hard work.
  • Learn Self-Defense: While self-defense is a key part of Muay Thai, our program teaches kids to use their skills responsibly, emphasizing the importance of restraint and respect for others.
  • Have Fun: We believe that martial arts should be fun! Our instructors use games, drills, and challenges to keep kids engaged and excited about learning.

We want to make sure your child is comfortable and having fun at all times.  And we want you to be confident too.  That’s why we offer a two week trial for all new students.  That way they can try out all our classes to see which is the best fit before deciding which classes they would like to enroll in.  The two week trial is excellent value for money including two weeks of unlimited classes including equipment for a nominal fee.  Parents are able to watch the classes their child attends during the two week trial period to make sure they are comfortable with the classes, coaches, and structure.
