Illyrian MMA for kids/parents is a structured class that is great for self-defense, focus, self discipline, self esteem, self confidence, coordination, control, flexibility, respect for others, fitness, and competition. All classes are taught by Shihan James Monette with his team of instructors.
In the peewee group (ages 6 to 8), and the juniors group (9-12) the children learn at a pace similar to the adults. This is why we also have the option for parents to train at the same time as their children. The parents will be learning the same things as the children. Most of the parents train with other parents however some of the older children can at times train with their parents.
In all the age categories, the children are taught how to deal with bullies verbally and if need be physically. The physical way is always the last resort and only if being physically attacked.
They also become very confident in who they are which allows them to make their own choices and not just follow the crowd.
This class is only for children and parents of the children in the class. No other adults are allowed in the class.
