Kids Martial Arts Classes in Dartmouth
At Fit Plus Martial Arts Dartmouth, we believe every child can benefit from the discipline, confidence, and fitness that martial arts provides. Our kids’ martial arts program introduces children to two of the world’s most effective martial arts: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Muay Thai Kickboxing.
Led by experienced instructors, our classes are safe, fun, and tailored to kids of all ages and skill levels. Whether your child is brand new to martial arts or looking to build on existing skills, our team will help them reach their full potential.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for Kids
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) focuses on grappling, submissions, and ground control. Kids learn how to use leverage and technique rather than strength, making it one of the most practical and effective martial arts for self-defense.
BJJ not only teaches your child how to defend themselves — it teaches life lessons like patience, discipline, and perseverance. As your child’s skills grow, so will their confidence and self-esteem, both inside and outside the gym.
Muay Thai Kickboxing for Kids
Our kids’ Muay Thai Kickboxing classes introduce striking techniques using punches, kicks, elbows, and knees in a safe, structured environment. Muay Thai is known for building stamina, agility, and coordination.
Through engaging drills and training, kids improve their fitness, balance, and motor skills, while also learning respect and discipline. It’s one of the best ways to keep children active and healthy while teaching them self-defense.
Benefits of Martial Arts for Kids
1. Self-Defense
With bullying and safety concerns, self-defense skills are more important than ever. Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai give kids the ability to avoid, escape, and protect themselves if necessary.
2. Health & Fitness
Too many kids today spend hours in front of screens. Our kids’ martial arts classes keep them moving with workouts that improve cardio, endurance, flexibility, and conditioning. Training at Fit Plus ensures your child stays healthy while having fun.
3. Confidence & Self-Esteem
Martial arts helps children build confidence in their abilities without encouraging arrogance or bullying behavior. At Fit Plus, we promote a healthy balance of humility and self-assurance.
4. Fun & Community
We believe training should be fun! Our instructors create an encouraging, positive environment where kids make new friends and enjoy learning martial arts. A child who enjoys training will stick with it — and that’s when growth really happens.
