Our Kids Programs
Kids 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu
Introduce your child to the exciting world of submission grappling with the only 10th Planet Black Belt in the state of Michigan!
Final Round is privileged to have a recognized instructor certified in both Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and Erik Paulson's Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW).
Beginning students will learn the fundamentals of grappling without using a Gi (traditional uniform). Intermediate and advanced students will progress through the unique and creative Jiu Jitsu techniques that have made 10th Planet famous, such as rubber guard, lockdown, and twister. They will also incorporate the fusion of CSW techniques that combines diverse arts such as Sambo, Judo, catch-as-catch-can wrestling, dumog, Shooto, and folksyle wrestling.
Our Jiu Jitsu program will give your child a fun, enriching, and challenging workout appropriate for any skill level. Grappling develops functional strength and a remarkable endurance that will transfer over to other sports. If your child has prior Jiu Jitsu experience, our classes are sure to expose him or her to new techniques that will give them a competitive edge.
Kids Muay Thai
Teach your child the striking methods of the "science of 8 limbs" under the tutelage of a 4-time world champion!
Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. This art uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. It has become the foundation for many MMA fighters’ stand-up game because of its effective use of hands, feet, elbows and knees. Muay Thai blends these tools into powerful combinations thus earning the nickname, “the science of eight limbs.”
Our Muay Thai classes will provide a mixture of shadow boxing, bag work, partner drills, striking pads, and friendly sparring. These training methods will develop your child's strength, endurance, agility, flexibility, and overall physical wellbeing.
As your child masters attacks, blocks and evasions, he or she will progress through the Dragon Leg curriculum earning different colored arm bands to recognize their level of achievement. While the opportunity to compete will be available to all advanced students, it is entirely optional.
Why should my child take martial arts classes?
Discipline & Focus
Nothing develops a strong work ethic and increased attention span like the rigors of martial arts training. Many kids that practice martial arts do better in school and other sports because of its structured training and emphasis on goal setting.
Today's generation of children spend too much time engaged with electronics. Video games, cell phones, tablets, and TV promote inactive lifestyles, aggressive behavior, and poor social skills.
Our classes help kids channel aggression and high energy levels in a safe, fun, and engaging full body workout.
Goal Setting & Work Ethic
Our ranking system uses colored belts for Jiu Jitsu and colored arm bands for Muay Thai. This structure teaches your child how to set goals and provides a real sense of accomplishment when they attain a new rank. Climbing through the ranks helps develop self-confidence, discipline, self-esteem, and a sense of direction that will lead to your child becoming motivated and self-directed. We have seen how this drive to succeed can transfer over to almost any area in a child's life, especially academic performance.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
By progressively setting and achieving attainable goals, your child will be surprised by what they can accomplish. This feeds their sense of self-motivation to continue working hard to see what else they are capable of achieving. As their martial arts skills grow and improve, so does their confidence and self-esteem.
Improved confidence helps our students to be more outgoing and willing to participate in academic and social environments.
Bully-Proof Your Child
Both of our kids programs teach students to effectively deal with bullies. We teach simple ways to control and diffuse situations in a peaceful and non-violent manner. Learning to stand up for oneself, effective verbal communication, conflict resolution skills, and the ability to negotiate will follow your child through their teenage years and into adulthood.
Year Round Training
Final Round offers kids classes six days per week all year long. There is never an off-season for your child's training and development as an athlete. Your child will have loads of fun while getting in great shape! Martial arts training builds strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, and agility that will carry over to any other sport your child participates in.
Honor, Respect, & Humility
This aspect of sports & competition has truly been lost in American culture. Success in mainstream sports can sometimes lead to cocky, arrogant, & disrespectful athletes.
We teach our kids to be humble in victory and to always be respectful to your training partners and opponents alike. Winning isn't everything. Every day our kids spend on the mats, we stress the importance of learning and improving oneself above all else.
This attitude of respect and honor is vital for children to develop healthy personal relationships and social skills at school, on the mats and at home.
Building Well-Rounded Children
All of the aspects listed above are forged through martial arts training. We are dedicated to assisting your child to reach their full potential on and off the training mats.
What a child learns in our martial arts program will transfer to all aspects of their life - academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
CLASSES ARE FUN!
We believe that along with dedication, having fun is the best way to learn a new skill. Each class incorporates games and fun physical challenges that are specifically designed to improve coordination, balance, agility, flexibility, strength, endurance, and problem solving skills. Although martial arts training may sound like serious business, we make sure our kids leave each class smiling.
