Kids Muay Thai

Many people have a preconceived idea about what a Muay Thai gym is like and don’t want to have their kids involved in it.

Thankfully, the days of thuggery involved in martial arts gyms is very much a thing of the past. At our gym, we try our hardest to make a strong point during our kids’ Muay Thai classes that violence is not the solution to the conflict, and the skills they are learning are to be used at training and only to defend themselves.

With obesity becoming more of a problem, it has become important for kids to become more involved in physical activities. Boxing/ kickboxing / Muay Thai are perfect forms of fitness to keep a child or young adult interested in exercise, as it allows them to challenge themselves physically and mentally, with some more advanced techniques requiring concentration and coordination. Enrolling inactive children in Muay Thai will not only help to break an inactive lifestyle but also give them an enjoyable activity that they can work hard at whilst trying to achieve a higher ranking

Our classes are not about breaking our students down to make them amazing fighters. In fact, we don’t have any preference whether or not they ever step inside the ring. The kids’ classes are about giving them tools that will make their school and social lives easier, and not giving our gym a reputation for creating small warriors. We would rather see them happy and confident than see them be a champion fighter because their coach or parent wanted it.
