Kids MMA
Classes
Introduce your child to Mixed Martial Arts in a structured, age-appropriate environment. Combining the best of BJJ, wrestling, and striking — built for young athletes ages 6–13.
The Complete
Young Athlete
Kids MMA at Gracie Barra Davenport introduces children to the fundamentals of mixed martial arts through age-appropriate instruction. Our curriculum blends BJJ, wrestling basics, and Muay Thai into a cohesive program that develops well-rounded young athletes.
Classes emphasize technique, control, and respect over aggression. Children learn how the different arts connect — and develop the athleticism, coordination, and mental toughness that serves them well in every sport (and in life).
This program is ideal for kids who already train BJJ or Muay Thai and want to integrate their skills, or as a standalone entry point into martial arts training.
What Kids Learn
- Basic striking combinations (punches & kicks)
- Wrestling fundamentals: level changes, shots
- Ground control positions from BJJ
- Transitions between standing and ground
- Controlled, supervised partner drilling
