At Essence Bjj Lafayette, we have Muay Thai classes for kids that are made just for them. Muay Thai, which is also called the “Art of Eight Limbs,” is a style of fighting that uses strikes, holds, and knee and elbow strikes. Our hardworking teachers create a safe and interesting place for kids to learn and grow. Some of the benefits of our Muay Thai program for kids are:

• Physical fitness: Training in Muay Thai is a great way to work out your heart and lungs. It also builds strength, agility, and endurance. By doing drills, pad work, and conditioning exercises, kids will get more fit overall and learn to make healthy choices.

• Self-Defense Skills: Our instructors focus on teaching useful self-defense skills in a safe and polite setting. Children will learn effective ways to strike, move on their feet, and defend themselves. This will boost their confidence and give them the skills to protect themselves if they need to.

• Discipline and concentration: Training for Muay Thai takes discipline, concentration, and mental strength. Our classes stress the importance of discipline, respect, and sticking with something, which helps kids learn important skills for life that go beyond the training mat.

• Self-Esteem and Confidence: As kids get better at Muay Thai and reach new goals, they will gain more confidence in their skills. Our teachers give praise and encouragement, which helps kids feel good about themselves and gives them a sense of accomplishment.
