MINI MUAY THAI At Greensborough MMA we currently accept children from ages 5-12 in our Mini Muay Thai classes for our Greensborough location only. All instructors hold a Working with Childrens check and we have an early childhood educator with 20 years experience available to assist with any inquiries you may have about your child engaging in Martial Arts. Ages 12 years and upwards are accepted in all our adult classes. Children are monitored closely and paired with the appropriate partners when necessary. We find this works well as the younger students are inspired by the older students and the older students learn how to mentor. Respect and teamwork are skills that all ages learn from this experience. Children benefit greatly from being involved with any form of Martial Arts. From as young as 3 years old, benefits for children include improvements in: confidence self-esteem concentration will power grades challenging behavior self control self defense self respect sense of self worth teamwork respect for others skill development gross motor development hand/eye co-ordination general health It is important that your child's experience in martial arts be a fun and positive experience, one that is guided and supervised closely. We view martial arts as a means of improving quality of life and as an experience that should be enjoyable. Children should look forward to it and it should be one that they learn from. There is no particular style that is best, other than the one your child enjoys most and makes them happy. Children are also taught never to use martial arts as a form of attack or bullying. You and your child must feel comfortable with our Instructor/s and the general environment. We are more than happy to answer any questins as to how we run and structure our classes or, with you remaining to observe. Our classes ensure that all skills taught are age appropriate and that no child feels left out or ignored. Contact us for further information or to organise your free trial class.
