Give Your Kids the Lifelong Gifts of Personal Success, Confidence, Discipline, and Self-Defense
People often associate martial arts with self-defense, but martial arts offer children much more than the ability to protect themselves. They also help children become strong, fit, disciplined, and confident, teaching them skills they’ll carry for life.

I’m Rolles Gracie, owner here at Rolles Gracie Academy.
Over my many years teaching martial arts, one thing I’ve enjoyed the most is training children and watching them grow.
Martial arts classes for kids are about more than punching, kicking, and earning a colorful belt. They’re about building character, discipline, focus, confidence, and respect.
To be sure, these classes develop muscles and flexibility. More than that, however, they build strong minds and strong spirits, which will serve them well in all areas of life.
Regardless of a child’s level of fitness, as they learn different techniques and feel the difference in their movements, they grow in self-esteem and self-awareness.
The best part? Martial arts are fun.
I’ve seen lots of kids light up learning martial arts, so I feel confident that your children will love them, too.
Please check out more information about how our martial arts training might benefit your child, then call us at the number below if you have additional questions.
Thank you, and we hope to see your child there!
Any of these challenges?
Every child has unique challenges. Even children who are intelligent sometimes have trouble paying attention at school, at home, or in other important situations. Maybe they’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, but it still feels like you have to tell them to do something repeatedly before they do it.
Maybe focusing isn’t the problem. Perhaps they feel awkward or shy, or they have trouble making friends. Perhaps they’re being bullied. Maybe they wish they had more confidence.
THE DIFFICULTIES OF RAISING CHILDREN ARE NEAR ENDLESS
Raising children is never easy, but it only seems to get tougher with each generation and the complications of technology and modern life. However, you don’t need to cajole, plead, raise your voice, or be stern to change how they behave and set them on a positive path.
You can teach your children the value of hard work, self-discipline, and respect in a natural, effective, and empowering way through martial arts. Martial arts classes for children also promote fundamental habits of safety, fitness, and health.
YOUR CHILD WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
Children absorb things readily—far more quickly and easily than adults do.
We’ve noticed this time and again with martial arts. Martial arts training is the type of activity that adapts to every person’s skill level. Even if your child has no experience in martial arts, you’ll notice a difference in their posture, knowledge, and growth sooner rather than later.
That’s because one aspect of learning martial arts is discovering the best qualities within yourself. Enrolling your child in martial arts teaches them not just physical skills but the ability to face other challenges and thrive.
LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS
Friends aren’t your only concern as far as your child’s character development goes. Social media alone gives you plenty to fret about regarding questionable and negative influences.
Martial arts classes can be a productive and nurturing environment for your child’s character, giving them building blocks for success and the courage to stay true to what’s right, even when you’re not nearby. We’ve seen how positive interactions with their instructors and teammates as children learn various techniques draw out and enrich other parts of their personalities, making them shine.
FITNESS DISGUISED
Our busy schedules mean that many families eat on the go during the week, which doesn’t make for the healthiest diet. Laptops, tablets, and video games —plus hoverboards and scooters — don’t encourage regular exercise either. About 1 in 6 children aged 2 to 19 is considered obese, statistics show.
Our martial arts training provides children with plenty of exercise and also plenty of fun. Our games, drills, and other activities avoid making training repetitious so that children learn to enjoy moving their bodies.
As our young students become healthier, they become stronger, sleep better, and develop a healthy appreciation for exercise that stays with them as they become adults.
SELF-DEFENSE FROM PREDATORS AND BULLIES
Every parent wants to keep their child safe yet also to know what to do when they’re in trouble, even if they never have to use those skills.
Our martial arts classes for kids teach how to take the tension out of a situation without using violence if possible. That said, we also emphasize how to recognize when using force is necessary.
We meet children at their fitness level and train them in the skills they need to protect themselves in a variety of circumstances so they can feel confident whether they’re facing a stranger in public or a bully in the school hallways.
TONS OF F-U-N !!
We’ve talked a lot about discipline, but we always remember that children are children. They deserve to grow and learn at their pace — and to have fun!
While the regular school day might not always make learning a pleasurable experience, we assure you that your child will enjoy coming to our martial arts sessions. We make learning rigorous yet fun by ensuring that our students are never bored and that classes don’t feel repetitive, even as they learn new techniques.
We pride ourselves on fostering a happy and supportive environment that encourages laughter as much as mutual respect. As they develop their skills, they’ll look forward to martial arts training as an opportunity to blow off steam and make new friends.
