Kids Muay Thai

Striking, discipline, and fun — built for young warriors.

At a time when children are inundated with messages from media and peers encouraging immediate gratification through T.V, video games and the like, the martial-arts provide discipline, strong work ethic, focus and outstanding fitness that will guide children during their entire lives.

Martial arts encourage focus, discipline, and physical well-being — and it all starts at a young age.

Talk to us about starting your child in our class, or better yet just bring along to one of the kids classes .

Our instructors are Fully Trained, First-Aid certified, CRB Checked and insured to teach children.

With several dedicated coaches on the mat there is plenty of supervision and support.

The Fighting Arts Academy kids class started as a way for our coaches to introduce their own children to the martial-arts (serious skills in a family friendly environment). Since then it has gone from strength to strength.

Building Real Skills While Having Fun

We use games, drills, and structured play to teach kids the core skills of Muay Thai — punches, kicks, elbows, knees, clinching, movement, and coordination.

Along the way, they build confidence, discipline, and fitness in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.

Our approach balances focus and laughter. Kids learn how to train with intention while making friends and burning energy.

We’re proud to say our Fighting Arts Academy Kids are strong, respectful, and always improving — both on and off the mats. They will learn to work with and help other children, as well as getting used to close physical contact with other children in a safe controlled environment. They will gain confidence, learn important social skills, as well as learning to defend themselves.

This is a fun and friendly class were your child will learn at their own pace and be given the chance to grow and learn how to make right choice and decisions. They will build relationships and learn how to communicate with others. Each child is treated in a way that meets their learning abilities and needs to ensure we can receive the best response from them.

At The Fighting Arts Academy, we want to make Mixed-Martial Arts for Everyone.

Kids classes cater from around 4 years to around 15 years old.

From 16 onwards (or by explicit instructor invitation) we encourage our younger members to participate in our adult sessions.

Our kids classes are incredibly popular with both boys and girls. We are happy to work with children that have physical, behavioural and learning difficulties and will always do our best to work with parents to help and support.

We are incredibly proud of the our Fighting Arts Academy kids.

Kids Muay Thai

All of our kids at the academy have the unprecedented opportunity to learn from directly from professional fighters who compete professionally in Muay-Thai, K1 and boxing. Taught by Affan and a whole host of assistant instructors. We sometimes ask parents who train to jump in and help as well!

Remember that this is not a fitness franchise

We care deeply about each child’s journey.

We train your kids like they’re our own.

Our instructors lead with compassion and structure — and we hold high standards for effort, behaviour and respect. We’re incredibly proud of the Fighting Arts Academy Kids — strong, kind, and capable students who grow both on and off the mat.

Is Muay Thai safe for kids?

Yes. Classes are age-appropriate, controlled, and focused on learning — not hurting.
What age can my child start?

From 4 years old and up.
Do they need experience or fitness?

Not at all. We welcome beginners and help every child progress at their own pace.
What are the classes like?

Classes begin with fun warmups and movement-based games to get everyone active and engaged. Kids learn the technique of proper punches, kicks, elbows and knees using pads, while also developing balance, coordination, and agility through targeted drills. When appropriate, we introduce light, controlled partner work to help build timing and confidence. Throughout every session, we place a strong emphasis on respect, effort, and self-control — creating a foundation that supports not just martial arts, but personal growth in all areas of life.
