Energy, Focus,
and Real Skills
Kids Muay Thai at Gracie Barra Davenport is a structured program designed specifically for children ages 6–13. We teach the fundamentals of Muay Thai — punches, kicks, and movement — in an age-appropriate, fun format that keeps kids engaged and coming back.
Muay Thai and kickboxing: our classes teach Muay Thai fundamentals (punches, kicks, knees, teeps), which is what most parents mean by kids kickboxing.
Classes focus on technique over power. Students learn proper form on bags and pads, partner drills with safety in mind, and the mental discipline that comes with learning a martial art.
This program pairs with Kids BJJ and Kids MMA — a complete martial arts foundation in striking and grappling.
