All of our kids classes take place in a safe and positive environment. We focus on building up each student both as individuals and as part of a team. Each program TCAMMA offers is geared towards improving students not only as martial artists but as people. Students are encouraged to have fun while also learning respect and maintaining a disciplined and structured learning environment. Often times this will lead to improvements in other aspects of a child’s personality including confidence, focus, and leadership. Through martial arts and self defense, it is our goal to teach each student how to set goals, pursue them, and achieve them. This mindset creates champions on the mat and champions in life.
Kids Stand Up
This class is built on three martial arts: Muay Thai, Boxing, and Krav Maga. The primary focus is on Muay Thai which is one of the best martial arts for learning how to effectively throw punches, kicks, and knees and learning to clinch as well. Kids will learn proper footwork, balance, coordination, and technique. We use specifically designed pads, bags, and focus mitts to practice striking while keeping your children safe. We will also cover the defense for basic bullying tactics like wrist grabs, shoves, and chokes. This class is fun and high energy.
Kids No Gi Grappling
Our kids no gi grappling class is based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling. Jiu-Jitsu will help the students learn how to effectively use techniques and leverage when defending against a larger opponent. Kids will learn sweeps, escapes, and counters. The wrestling portion of class will allow students to learn takedowns and how to control the situation from escalating or to defend against it. The confidence gained from this type of activity extends towards all areas of their lives.
Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is done in the gi or kimono as known to some. It’s the traditional method that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is taught. Students will learn leverage escapes and counters. They will also learn to use the gi as a weapon to apply collar submissions, arm bars, and control against a much larger opponent. In this class children will gain the confidence needed to go through life with their head held high.

Kids Mixed Martial Arts
This class is a review of what our students learn during the week. There will be punching, kicking, and grappling but the real difference is that we focus on transitioning from one range of combat to another. Blending these concepts together will make each child a true mixed martial arts student and prepare them for a real life situation in which they may need to defend themselves. The Vale Tudo mixed martial arts class combines ranges and property discipline making them a world champion student and a world champion person.
