My son used to struggle with focus and had trouble staying active. Since starting the Kids Muay Thai program at Bushido Academy, he’s become more disciplined, confident, and motivated. He looks forward to every class, and I’ve seen such a positive change in how he handles challenges—not just in the gym, but at home and in school too!”
