Kids Mixed Martial Arts

At Amir Academy, our Kids MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) program in St. Petersburg, Florida is a structured, high-energy training system designed to challenge children both mentally and physically. We focus on building strong bodies, sharp minds, and confident leaders — all in a safe, positive environment.

While we do not promote violence, our students learn practical self-defense skills to protect themselves, recognize danger, and avoid conflict whenever possible. More importantly, they gain the confidence to stand up for themselves, set goals, and push beyond their limits.

What Your Child Will Learn in Our Kids MMA Program

Each class includes:

●Dynamic warm-up exercises
●Technical striking fundamentals
●Grappling and ground control
●Controlled sparring (age-appropriate)

Unlike many youth sports where kids may sit on the sidelines, every child stays active for the full class, promoting:

✓ Strong muscle development

Our program blends elements of kickboxing, grappling, and traditional martial arts to create a complete system that develops well-rounded athletes and confident young leaders.

Our structured belt and ranking system recognizes effort, discipline, and progress. Children learn how to:
