ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
PARENTING YOUNG CHILDREN IS A REAL CHALLENGE.
You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.
The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need.
YOUR CHILD WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
Studying Muay Thai is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the dojo. Lil Muay Thai classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.
KIDS WHO STUDY MARTIAL ARTS LEARN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though muay thai is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.
STUDYING MUAY THAI BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Young children who learn Muay Thai find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
YOUNG MUAY THAI STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO FOCUS
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our Muay Thai classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study Muay Thai tend to be good students, too.
Muay Thai HELPS KIDS LEARN TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION
Muay Thai instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying Muay Thai helps them learn the power of persistence.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.

Redemption Muay Thai is the best thing that has happened to my child and myself. He attends the children program and I attend the bootcamp. Not only do they help the children obtain the skills in Muay Thai but they also establish a sense of family and belonging. My son feels as though he is part of a family at Redemption. Steve and the crew are fantastic teachers that also support the kids and other clients in all that they do. Not just Muay Thai. Thank you for helping my son gain confidence, a healthy self esteem and helping him become physically fit. They are the best!!!

I have been training at Redemption for over 3 years now. My daughter also trains in the kids' classes and has taken part in the march break/summer break camps they offer as well and has absolutely loved them! The coaches/krus there are very knowledgeable and (no matter what your goals are) invest their time and energy into your success. When I first started there, I was out of shape with no prior training experience. They were extremely helpful and taught me everything I needed to know (with no judgement). I appreciate everything I have learned and accomplished there so far. Thank you so much, team Redemption!
