Our kids kickboxing classes will help your child learn:
Kids Kickboxing classes at Union Martial Arts are fun, yet disciplined. Our classes get kids to put down screens and video games in favor of an environment that will build them both physically and mentally. Throughout our step-by-step curriculum, we teach Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai techniques with a strong emphasis on technical excellence. We then combine these techniques into highly effective kickboxing combinations, using heavy bags as targets.
Our classes are designed to give kids the repetition they need to develop proficiency, power, fitness and confidence in their growing self-defense skills. In all of our classes, there is no sparring. Students use targets such as heavy bags to develop their technique.
Our expert coaches make sure your child receives the individual attention they need to develop effective kickboxing technique; blending the styles of Muay Thai, Boxing and Karate into a safe, yet action-packed class that your child will absolutely love. Our high-energy yet disciplined atmosphere gives kids an amazing total body workout, all while teaching invaluable life-lessons on perseverance, respect, focus and character development.

The style of Kickboxing we teach at Union Martial Arts is a modern blend of Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai, with a strong focus on self-defense and MMA applications. Karate is a more traditional striking art, which sometimes includes practices such as “kata”, which we do not do. That said, we do draw on some of the dynamic and fun kicking techniques of Karate in our kids kickboxing classes.
