Our GB Kids Muay Thai & MMA Program is a kid’s beginners program to safely introduce our little champions to foundational techniques during childhood kids brains are still under development any striking art taught to kids if not carefully crafted poses risks to the child’s brain development
In our school, our program is taught with ethics and responsibility respecting the most critical years of a child’s life. Our program is deeply rooted in safety practices and craft tailored for kids to allow our Muay Thai and MMA little champions to develop their striking abilities without the side effects associated with other contact sports.
Instead of excessive sparring our program emphasizes proper striking form, footwork, striking, and take-downs defense as well as clinching and distance management. As our little champions progress, they engage in more advanced combinations, drills, and conditioning exercises to enhance speed, accuracy, and power. Sparring is kept to a minimum.
