FightClub Helps Create Healthier, Safer, More Respectful and Confident Children.
Dear Fellow Parents,
At FightClub, we don’t just focus on punching and kicking, more importantly, we focus on your child’s mental growth.
Our kid`s martial arts training program teaches the importance of self-discipline and self-control. Class structure provides life-long self-defence skills and teaches the value of staying healthy and staying in shape. Our approach is to educate your children to gain knowledge that is practical and usable in their everyday life going beyond the principles of traditions and techniques in the martial arts.
We teach how to punch and kick, but we don’t stop there – our classes contain lessons in manners, anger management, non-violent conflict resolution, goal setting, self-improvement, and team building.
​
Youth martial arts classes are available on Monday and Wednesday from 7:30-8:30 PM.
HOW DOES YOUTH MARTIAL ARTS WORK?
We train side-by-side, all ages and abilities, to support and learn from each other. This provides an opportunity for children to take a leadership role and teach other children the skills they have learned and also to be a good example in and out of the FightClub school.
This is one of the few sports that allow boys and girls to train together. This gives brothers and sisters an opportunity to practice together and learn from one another as well.
Many team sports are seasonal; FightClub is a year-round affair. Having this consistency helps build upon discipline, and allows children to progress very quickly.
At FightClub we make a point of nurturing your child’s self-esteem and confidence. Though we try to challenge the kids, we make sure the drills and techniques are easy enough to do.
To sum things up, “we focus on character development.”

Join us for youth martial art classes on Monday and Wednesday from 7:30 - 8:30 PM.
