FAQs About Kids Martial Arts at Fight Prime
What ages do you accept?
We welcome students starting at age 5 and tailor classes by age group to keep instruction clear and developmentally appropriate.
Is this program suitable for shy or nervous kids?
Yes! Many of our students start off shy or hesitant. We create a welcoming environment that helps kids gradually build confidence at their own pace.
Will martial arts make my child aggressive?
No. In fact, it’s the opposite. Martial arts teaches control, respect, and how to avoid conflict — not create it.
Do you require a long-term contract?
Nope. We offer risk-free trials so your family can experience a class first and see if it’s the right fit before committing.
Bill Gray (Danny's Dad)., Oregon, WI
“The bully backed down.”
When Danny got off the bus today, and got in the car, he couldn’t stop talking about how he stood up to this bully who had been picking on him for weeks! He said the bully backed down, and everyone saw it! I got so choked up that he looked at me and asked me what was wrong.
I just told him I was so proud of him.
Thank you,
Natalie Cruz (Kayden's Mom)., Madison, WI
“A significant change, in only 2 short weeks!”
Kayden has a bit of a temper, but I’ve already noticed the change. He’s more respectful to me. And his teachers can’t believe it! He calls them “ma’am” and “sir”. No other kids in his class show their teachers this much respect.
It really makes me feel great, and I feel like I’ve done a great thing for myself and my child by enrolling him in this kids BJJ Madison class.
Cynthia Smith (Ashley's Mom)., Verona, WI
“She just can’t wait for ‘kids jiu-jitsu days…’”
At first I wasn’t sure if Ashley would like the program. After all, she’s only 6, so she never really sticks to anything.
Boy was I wrong! She actually gets upset if we ever have to miss a class now. And I can tell she’s more focused, more attentive, and just all around happier after starting this program.
