If you talk to 100 people and ask them if they would like to be able to defend themselves if needed, I would bet 100 would say yes. I would wager the same answer would pertain to children of all ages. So, why is it that this important life skill of self-defense isn’t a requirement for everyone? I’m not sure. As a parent I teach all my kids to swim, ride a bike… and give them the gift of self-defense.

As an adult you should seek this skill out if you aren’t currently training. But it’s hard to know what is a good system of self-defense. When picking a self-defense system you should look for what’s been proven to work instead of what works in theory. Science is based upon proven results. Not because the grandmaster says so. What has been proven to work under duress is MMA. A combination of resistance based martial arts mixed together to give you answers to different self-defense scenarios. 

Now does this mean we are going to expect you to join the competition team and fight? Or that little Johnny or Suzie are going to become aggressive and start fighting other kids in school. No way, no how. 

You don’t have to go to war to learn how to shoot properly. You don’t have to fight to be able to defend yourself. But you do need to practice viable techniques and go through semi-live, safe, situational scenarios in a realistic environment. This alone will improve your odds greatly for survival if you should ever need it. I always say it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Everyone says they are the best. Even within the MMA community, a lot of folks will say their gym is the best and the rest are a distant 2nd. I personally feel that all facilities that teach mixed martial arts are good academies, compared to those that teach antiquated self-defense. So go check out a few and see what works for you. 

If you want to learn how to defend yourself, or one day compete, please don’t hesitate to call or text 952-457-7743 and ask to speak to a coach about getting started.

Our youth Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) program is top notch. Your child will develop true self confidence, learn self control, the long lost art of self discipline. Your child will walk taller, look you in the eye and shake your hand.

Old school American values that seem to be of a bygone age. All while “really” learning how to defend themselves. No “fake” board breaking or screaming a bunch of “yes sir’s”, while practicing outdated, antiquated moves that have been proven time and time again to be about as effective as saddling up the horse and riding to California in January.

Our youth MMA training consists of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, Gracie Jiu Jitsu (GJJ), and Wrestling all combined into a class that will teach them cutting edge self defense. Combined with our 24-point character development program you will be putting your children heads and shoulders above the crowd. We re-enforce old school codes and ethics which have been lost in todays politically corrupt atmosphere where everyone whose feelings get hurt gets a safe space to pet a puppy. Some of our character development points are…..

  • No participation trophies
  • No safe spaces, stand up for yourself.
  • Patriotism, the pledge is said after every class
  • Our god given rights as put forth in the Constitution, bill of rights with all amendments included. Nothing too in-depth as martial arts comes 1st, but we do briefly address said principals.
  • Look people in the eye.
  • The proper handshake.
  • Walking with confidence.
  • Ways to address adults with respect.
  • How to answer instead of giving excuses.
  • How to get and keep a mental and physical toughness.
  • Plus many, many more

Just take 10 seconds to text or call 952-457-7743 to join one of the best networks in the world and one of our courteous staff members will contact you soon

We offer character development for children through our kids mixed martial arts karate program. Your children will learn Mixed Martial Arts, which is a mix of Thai Boxing, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling. Along with awesome self defense, they will learn how to become leaders, to speak in public, to set goals, self discipline, honor and integrity.


  • Get them off their phone for a couple hours
  • Old school self discipline
  • Positive reinforcement on quality life decisions
  • Healthy eating habits
  • Develop extreme confidence
  • Living a clean life
  • Real self defense (no board breaking here!)

As your children age, activities become harder to find to keep them active. Between the phone and the computer, teens are inactive more than ever before in history. When I was a child, everyone was always together in the neighborhood being active. It was odd for a kid to sit indoors… now it’s just the opposite. They gather at each others house to play on the computer or whatever they do (still sometimes a mystery). I just know they aren’t being active.

Mixed Martial Arts is not only cool, it’s the most viable form of self defense on the planet. And the workouts are awesome.

Not only will your teen get a great, fun workout, their confidence will skyrocket as they develop skill sets that really work.

If they are between 10 and 15 years old this class will fit perfectly. But here’s the real cool part. All classes are taught by professional MMA competitors in a cage. If this doesn’t get them off their phone nothing will.

Every single teen that has tried this class has loved it and signed up on the spot!! So call or text 952-457-7743 today to set up you appointment today.

Our environment is stellar. Mixing state of the art MMA training, along with old school American values and common sense, manners, and etiquette, they will develop a healthy respct for parents and teachers as well as learning self discipline and a healthy lifestyle.
