Why Affinity Academy’s Kid’s Kickboxing Stands Out
Compare Kid’s Kickboxing at Affinity Academy with traditional sports or gym programs. Discover why our dynamic classes provide more than just physical fitness—they offer valuable life skills, emotional growth, and a sense of belonging that lasts a lifetime.
Team sports and recreational activities often prioritize performance and competition over character development.
Kids who aren’t naturally athletic may face benching or exclusion, which can lower self-esteem and discourage participation.
Many activities place an overemphasis on winning, sometimes at the cost of teaching sportsmanship and teamwork.
In large teams or groups, individual coaching is often overlooked, leaving some kids without the guidance they need.
Our program emphasizes physical fitness, emotional intelligence, discipline, and respect, giving your child tools for success on and off the mat.
Every child actively participates, regardless of skill level, ensuring they feel valued and supported while building confidence.
We celebrate progress and effort, fostering an environment where children can thrive without the pressure of competition.
Small class sizes and attentive instructors allow us to tailor lessons to each child’s needs, ensuring they develop skills at their own pace.
CHARACTER BUILDING THAT LASTS A LIFETIME
In today’s world, kids face countless influences beyond their circle of friends, from the pressures of social media to other online challenges. That’s why instilling strong character traits and a positive mindset is more important than ever.
At Affinity Academy: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing & Fitness, our Kid’s Kickboxing program does more than teach self-defense—it’s a foundation for building resilience, discipline, and respect. Guided by our dedicated instructors and supported by their peers, your child will develop invaluable life skills like focus, perseverance, and confidence.
Through every class, kids grow stronger in body and mind, setting them up for success in school, sports, and beyond.
FITNESS THAT FEELS LIKE FUN
Let’s face it—between junk food, screen time, and busy schedules, many kids aren’t getting the exercise they need to stay healthy and energized. That’s where our Kid’s Kickboxing classes make all the difference.
Our program is packed with exciting activities, games, and dynamic drills that keep kids moving and having a blast. They’ll work up a sweat, build strength, and boost their endurance—all without realizing they’re doing a full-body workout!
Beyond staying fit, these classes help kids develop lifelong healthy habits. Regular exercise promotes better sleep, improved focus, and stronger minds and bodies, setting them up for a lifetime of well-being.
SELF-DEFENSE THAT BUILDS COURAGE AND AWARENESS
Every parent’s top priority is keeping their child safe, even in situations we hope they’ll never face. At Affinity Academy: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing & Fitness, we go beyond teaching effective self-defense techniques—we empower kids with the confidence and awareness to handle life’s challenges.
From dealing with bullies at school to recognizing and avoiding dangerous situations, our Kid’s Kickboxing program equips children with practical skills to protect themselves. But self-defense isn’t just physical—it’s also about emotional control. That’s why our classes emphasize respect, self-discipline, and conflict resolution, helping kids learn when and how to respond without violence.
Your child will walk away with more than safety skills; they’ll gain the courage to stand up for themselves and the wisdom to make smart choices.
LEARNING MADE FUN AND EXCITING

Everything is AWESOME! I have seen a big confidence boost in both of my girls since they have started classes here and I would recommend this gym for anyone thinking of trying something new for their kids or themselves. This gym provides a safe, friendly and clean environment to practice BJJ where everyone is treated with respect.
My experience at Affinity Academy has been amazing. You will receive instruction that is detailed, methodical, patient and immediately applicable. The people you will meet here are some of the highest quality human beings you could hope to meet. The atmosphere is fun, supportive, and very much like family. If you are looking for world class training in the gentle art of Jiu Jitsu then Affinity Academy is the place for you!
I started BJJ at the Affinity Academy in February. It was a challenge for me to get started because I was afraid and quite anxious. It was something completely new to me and I thought maybe I wouldn't be strong or "tough" enough to join. From my very first class until now, everyone has been so welcoming and very supportive with one another. The Academy is a very positive and family friendly environment. Our Sensei's Andell and Clifton are professional and very knowledgeable of this art. Classes are well structured and quite challenging, which keeps me coming back for more. BJJ is beginning to change my life in many ways. I take pride in being a part of this team. I will be forever grateful and will continue to be humble learning this gentle art.
A great environment that quickly becomes your family. They have so many different programs that there truly is something for everyone of all ages and skill set. I have learned so much at this school in such a short time and it is the direct effect of good people, in a good place, all doing something we feel very strongly for. Would recommend Affinity Academy to anyone thinking of starting the sport.
I currently have 2 kids in the jujitsu program at Affinity and couldn't ask for a better introduction for them both to martial arts. The coaches are excellent at engaging with young children and the other members have been very welcoming. Has very quickly become the favourite activity for both my kids and I believe the technical skills and the character lessons taught to them there will benefit them greatly as they grow. I would highly recommend this gym and these coaches to anyone looking for a BJJ program for their sons or daughters.
I've been training at Affinity Academy for just over 1 year. Every class is without a doubt one of the most rewarding experiences I am fortunate enough to participate in, every chance I get. The safe, positive environment reflects the values and passion of the family ownership, staff, and the members. A passionate, respectful culture of support and constant improvement is ingrained in the Academy. I cannot speak highly enough of Affinity to effectively convey the experience...you need to come for a visit and see for your it for yourself! You'll be back.
My daughter started about 3 months ago and I think she's doing really well. That's because of the amazing instruction and, most importantly for her age, other children who are very welcoming and friendly.
I love this place. Super clean facility, friendly and knowledgeable people who are more than willing to help you feel safe and comfortable learning the art.
What can I say about Affinity, that hasn't already been said?!
It's amazing! I love it. The instructors are awesome, very knowledgable, approachable and just all round good people. A friend convinced me to come try, although to be honest I have always wanted to learn bjj so it really didn't take much convincing at all, and as soon as I stepped on the mats and tried my first class, I was hooked.
The people at Affinity treat you like family, the sr. belts are always more than willing to slow down and show you proper form and technique.
I could go on for ever, but will just say this,I definitely have zero regrets about joining and I plan to train for years to come!
Thank you Affinity Academy for making me feel welcome, and guiding me down this new path in life!
Excellent programs for both adults and kids with great instructors. A family and community oriented academy with a safe and fun learning environment. A wonderful martial arts academy for all ages, highly recommended.
