KIDS' PROGRAMS

If you’re looking for the best kids’ program in Seattle to guide your child in the right direction, we may be the perfect fit for you. Combat Arts Academy’s youth martial arts program is designed to help your child improve focus, self-control, discipline, and develop a positive self-image within a fun, safe, and family-friendly environment that emphasizes goal setting and achievement.

At Combat Arts Academy, your child won’t just learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or Muay Thai… they will also learn life lessons to build character and become amazing adults. We firmly believe that those invested in the child’s life are responsible for their education, and this doesn’t just mean parents and teachers, it means us too. We’re here to help your child develop and thrive, both on and off the mats. We engage our students in life skill discussions, how to handle bullies, and what it means to be a friend or sibling… essentially, they learn how to cooperate and get along with each other.

In addition, your child will also develop and improve their coordination, strength, and motor skills, while learning functional and useful martial arts. Once they develop a fundamental understanding of Jiu-jitsu or Muay Thai in our Rising Warriors program, they’ll have an opportunity to move into our leadership and competition team. What’s unique about youth programs at Combat Arts Academy is that no child EVER sits on the bench.

As a parent, within the first month of becoming a part of Combat Arts Academy, not only will you begin seeing changes in your child’s behavior at home, you will also see improvements in performance at school as well. We guarantee that you’ll see positive changes, which is why we offer a 60-day money back guarantee. Contact us to schedule your child's free trial class!
