Elements MMA
Kids Program
Our Kids Mixed Martial Arts program is designed to build confidence, body awareness, and essential life skills in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
Led by experienced instructors, our classes help children develop focus, discipline, and coordination — tools they’ll use both on and off the mat. Whether your child is just starting out in the world of MMA or continuing their journey, we’re here to guide them through movement, teamwork, and martial arts right here in Keene.
At Elements MMA, our martial arts classes are designed to build a strong foundation of self-confidence in our young students. Through mastering various techniques and progressing through new challenges, children learn to trust their abilities, face fears, and develop a strong sense of self.
We incorporate martial arts styles like boxing, kickboxing, karate, Muay Thai, and taekwondo to help kids gain both physical skills and mental resilience. Every movement learned is an opportunity to grow—inside and outside the classroom.
Empower Your Child
Technique: Develop Confidence
Our program teaches children the importance of body awareness, balance, and coordination. By engaging in martial arts drills and age-appropriate games, kids begin to understand how their bodies move and how to move with intention.
Whether they’re learning how to fall safely, maintain good posture, or react quickly, every part of class supports improved coordination, fitness, and physical confidence in a structured setting.

Respect: Deal with Bullying and Peer Pressure
From bullying to peer pressure, at Elements MMA, we know that children today face real challenges. Our classes help kids build both physical and emotional tools to navigate those moments with confidence and respect.
Through role-playing, discussions, and partner exercises, students learn how to de-escalate conflict, speak up, and set healthy boundaries all in a supportive community that celebrates their individuality and strength.
Cultivating a sense of community
Teamwork
Our Kids Martial Arts program emphasizes the value of collaboration. Through team-based activities, partner drills, and games that encourage cooperation, children learn what it means to support and be supported by others.
That sense of connection extends beyond the mat. Students form real friendships, celebrate each other’s progress, and grow more confident knowing they belong to a community that values effort, kindness, and perseverance.
