Is striking safe for kids?

Kids classes are pad- and technique-based. Any partner work is controlled, supervised, and matched by size and experience.

What gear does my kid need?

Nothing for the trial; we'll get you set up. The $99 starter month includes gear to get going.

Can my kid do both BJJ and Muay Thai?

Yes. Champs classes run side by side on Mats 1 and 2, so plenty of families stack both in one trip.
