As summer approaches, parents across Union County, including Indian Trail, NC, start looking for ways to keep their kids active, engaged, and learning. While summer camps are very popular, they often come with rigid schedules, short-term commitments, and hefty price tags. At Union Martial Arts, we offer an alternative: summer martial arts classes for kids, including Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA classes that run six days a week, giving families flexibility and kids the opportunity to grow both physically and mentally all summer long. Our kids martial arts classes in the Charlotte area are designed to be fun, engaging, and skill-building, making it the perfect summer activity.

Consistent Training with Flexibility
Unlike camps that lock you into one- or two-week blocks, our kids’ martial arts classes are ongoing and flexible. Whether your family is traveling or juggling multiple summer activities, our schedule allows you to drop into classes when it works best for you. With sessions running Monday through Saturday, there’s always a chance to train and stay on track without feeling overwhelmed.

Stay Active, Build Confidence, and Have Fun
“Martial arts training is more than just kicking, punching, and grappling—it’s about developing discipline, respect, focus, and confidence.” – Coach Nolan
During the summer months, when school structure disappears, children can easily fall into habits of excessive screen time or inactivity. Regular classes at Union Martial Arts help kids stay active and keep their minds engaged in a positive way.
Our experienced instructors focus on building life skills alongside martial arts skills. Kids learn to set goals, persevere through challenges, and become part of a supportive community. These skills carry over into the school year and other aspects of life.

Safe and Supportive Environment
For parents looking for a challenging, yet safe and structured activity for their children, our academy offers peace of mind. Classes are age-appropriate and taught by instructors who understand how to engage young students while maintaining discipline and safety. We emphasize teamwork and positive reinforcement, ensuring every child feels welcome and motivated.
No Long-Term Contracts
We understand that families value flexibility, especially in the summer months. That’s why we offer membership options with no long-term commitment and the ability to pause or cancel at any time, without penalty. Whether you’re looking for a short-term activity or a path toward long-term growth, we make it easy for families to join us and start training without pressure.
A Community That Lasts Beyond Summer
One of the best things about training at Union Martial Arts is the community. Kids form friendships, learn how to be great teammates, and feel part of something bigger than themselves. For many families, summer training leads to a lifelong love of martial arts and a supportive environment they return to year after year.
