Here’s what people generally mean by “fighting classes”, why kids should learn to fight, and a look at our kids class prices for parents interested in enrolling their kids.
What Are Fighting Classes?
The term “fighting classes” can mean many things depending on the context. Typically, it refers to structured martial arts classes, combat sports, or weapons training classes that are designed to teach practical self-defense techniques and personal discipline. Some systems even include knife-based martial arts styles like Kali, which focus on self-defence against a knife, and precision, body mechanics, and awareness. Fighting classes for kids can cover everything from boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai, to traditional martial arts disciplines like karate or Taekwondo.
In other contexts, “fighting classes” might refer to more intense systems like Krav Maga or Jeet Kune Do, both of which focus on rapid self-defense skills and effective strikes in real life situations. There’s also a growing popularity around Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), which combine grappling, striking, and modern techniques into a comprehensive martial arts program.
For kids, the goal isn’t combat—it’s life building skills which equals: safety, self-capability, and self-esteem growth.
Why Should Kids Learn How to Fight?
It’s an uncomfortable truth, but one we can’t ignore—violence exists. From ancient battlefields to modern playgrounds, the subject of conflict has been explored deeply in peace and conflict studies. And while we teach children respect, consideration, kindness, and empathy, we also believe that preparing them with practical self-defense skills is one of the best gifts we can give to ensure their safety.
Fighting classes for kids can play a critical role in helping them manage real life situations—whether it’s defending themselves against a school bully or just feeling confident in their own ability in unfamiliar situations. At Art of Kickboxing, we’ve seen firsthand how our students grow in mental strength, self-esteem, and emotional resilience.
Beyond safety, these classes also create a strong sense of community and belonging. Through martial arts lessons, kids develop friendships, learn discipline, and gain confidence as they master basic techniques like how to throw punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and proper footwork. They build not only physical capability but also develop mental focus and personal growth.
Training in structured martial arts types like Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, also supports better body awareness, coordination, and balance. As their skill level increases, children experience an enjoyable learning experience that supports their fitness levels, posture, and self-control.
