Why Kids MMA at Martial Arts of Waco Builds Stronger, More Confident Children in Central Texas

At Martial Arts of Waco, our Kids MMA program is designed to help children in Waco, Hewitt, Woodway, China Spring, and surrounding areas develop strength, discipline, and confidence in a fun and structured environment. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) combines elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, and kickboxing—giving kids the opportunity to learn real self-defense while improving their fitness and coordination.

Parents often seek out martial arts for kids to help with focus, confidence, and behavior. At our Waco martial arts academy, we go beyond teaching kicks and punches. We instill values like respect, perseverance, and accountability. Every class follows a structured format that includes warm-ups, technique drills, partner work, and games that reinforce skills.

One of the biggest benefits of our Kids MMA classes is the positive change in mindset. Children learn how to set goals, overcome challenges, and push through difficulty. This growth mindset prepares them not only for martial arts, but also for school, sports, and life.

Our certified coaches are passionate about helping each child grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally. The goal is not just to create young athletes, but to raise strong, kind, and resilient individuals who can stand up for themselves and others.

Classes are available for kids ages 5 and up. With classes seven days a week and flexible schedules, parents can easily find the right time for their family. We welcome new students all year long and offer a free week of training to get started.
