Our Program

Building Strong Bodies & Confident Leaders

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

A Complete Martial Arts Foundation

Each class includes:

  • Dynamic warm-up exercises
  • Technical striking fundamentals
  • Grappling and ground control
  • Controlled sparring (age-appropriate)
  • Active games that build coordination and teamwork

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

  • Strong muscle development
  • Improved cardiovascular endurance
  • Healthy weight management
  • Better coordination and balance

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.

Belt Ranking & Character Development

Belts Are Earned, Not Purchased

At Amir Academy, belts are not purchased — they are earned.

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

  • Set meaningful goals
  • Work consistently toward improvement
  • Persevere through challenges
  • Earn advancement through dedication

Earning a new belt is a privilege and a milestone that builds pride, responsibility, and accountability.
