YOUTH & TEEN MMA


Our Youth and Teen Program is carefully structured to help young men and women succeed in our academy and in life.  The youth and teen classes are divided by age groups so that students have the opportunity to work with others of the same stature and maturity, and who share some common challenges outside of the academy.  Our Youth and Teen Program not only builds individuality and leadership, but also great friendships.  Students share common goals and aspirations, creating strong bonds both in class and out.  This strong core of support helps our students easily stand up to peer pressure and other intimidating situations.

Our classes are fast-paced, fun, and energetic.  Our professional team of instructors always ensures that every student’s individual needs are being met.  The curriculum is designed to be challenging enough to keep students motivated, but not so much that they are overwhelmed.  This careful balance enhances the development of confidence, the most important tool we will help them attain.  We understand that young students need to stay excited about what they are doing so they will be able to stay committed and achieve the goals that they set out for.  Our class curriculum includes, but is not limited to:

  • Realistic approach to self-defense: We teach self defense from all types of attacks while using control, not aggression.
  • Innovative methods to handle bullying: Unfortunately, bullying has become an increasingly common challenge for today’s youth.  We’ll help them control the situations by making informed choices and using proper self defense, if necessary.
  • Submission locks
  • Hand & leg drills
  • Speed, timing, & coordination exercises
  • Heavy bag workouts
  • Freestyle kickboxing

Mixed American Freestyle challenges the mind and body to work together, helping young men and women excel in other areas of life such as academics, sports, and social situations.  With consistency, our program will yield a lifetime of benefits, which include:

  • Confidence
  • Leadership
  • Self-Defense
  • Fitness & Health Awareness
  • Respect & Discipline
  • Positive Attitude
  • Goal Setting Ability
  • Increased Focus & Concentration
  • Improved Balance & Coordination

In today’s world, young men and women face so many obstacles.  We’re here to strengthen their minds and teach them life’s lessons through martial arts.  Our instructors maintain a positive environment and provide lots of encouragement.  With the use traditional values such as hard work, dedication, and commitment we’ve seen so many young people succeed in every aspect of life.
