Safe, structured classes that channel energy into confidence and self-control — perfect for beginners ages 6–12.

Bullying is one of the biggest challenges parents face today — and often, the kids most affected aren’t lacking strength, but confidence. At Bushido Academy, our Kids Muay Thai program helps children build that inner confidence through structured training, teamwork, and encouragement.
We teach students to stay calm, respectful, and aware — while developing real self-defense skills that empower them without promoting aggression. As they learn how to defend themselves effectively, they also gain the self-assurance to carry themselves with quiet confidence, which often prevents bullying before it ever begins.
The result? Kids who walk taller, speak with confidence, and know how to handle themselves in any situation — both inside and outside the academy.
In an age of constant distractions, kids need an outlet that challenges their focus and reinforces discipline. Muay Thai is the perfect combination of fun and structure — helping children channel their energy into something positive while learning the importance of respect and self-control.
Every class at Bushido Academy emphasizes attention to detail, perseverance, and accountability. Kids learn to listen, follow direction, and push through challenges, all while supporting and encouraging their teammates. These lessons go far beyond the mat — improving classroom focus, respect for authority, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
Through Muay Thai, your child develops the mindset of a champion: respectful, responsible, and ready to grow stronger every day.


At Bushido Academy, we believe martial arts should do more than teach kicks and punches — it should help shape great kids into great people. Our Kids Muay Thai program focuses on character first, using martial arts as a tool to build integrity, resilience, and leadership.
Through positive coaching, structured goals, and consistent encouragement, students learn that true strength comes from effort, humility, and respect for others. As they earn new skills and ranks, they gain a deep sense of accomplishment — not because they’re competing, but because they’re improving themselves.
Parents often tell us they see their child’s confidence soar, their attitude improve, and their respect for others deepen — proof that the lessons learned on the mat are just as powerful off of it.
