At Bushido Academy, every Kids Muay Thai class is age-appropriate and intentionally structured. From Little Strikers (ages 6–9), to Junior Strikers (10–12), to Teen Strikers (13–15), each level is tailored to match the physical, mental, and emotional needs of that age group—ensuring safe skill development, personal growth, and lasting confidence.

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!”
