Kidz Thai Boxing

Kidz Thai Boxing is a fun class aimed toward primary school aged kids aged 6 to 12 years. Classes incorporate the explosive skills of Muay Thai Kickboxing in a safe and controlled environment. Muay Thai is known as one of the world's most practical stand up self defence arts and young Thai children often start training at 4 years old. For safety reasons, we start a little later than that and our classes are designed for 6 to 12 year olds.

The techniques of this sport are surprisingly simple and easy to learn and encompass kicks, knees, punches and elbows. Training is non-contact (no sparring) and revolves around the use of the traditional Muay Thai kickboxing tools of the boxers focus mitts, the kick shield and the Thai forearm pads. Training provides cardio activities through Thai boxing drills performed on various training pads and lightweight bags. Due to the high impact nature of the padwork, classes are of 45 minutes duration and participants wear shin/instep protectors and hand mitts along with their traditional Thai shorts and uniform shirt.

The class format is not as regimented as traditional martial arts, although respect and common courtesy is instilled during class activities which start on entry with a bow of respect at the door. Kids love games! Co-ordination and movement are the essence of martial skills and what better way to enhance learning through the enjoyment of games, games that combine martial skills and understanding. What a fabulous gift to give your child, the confidence of self belief in themselves through modern martial interests.

Participants in the Kidz Kickboxing do not wear belts or do belt tests as such. Participants are graded based on training milestones and receive a certificate of recognition as they pass each significant phase (i.e. 10 classes, 50 classes etc).

Classes are held at our Helensvale Headquarters on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 6.45pm.
