Martial Arts Classes for Kids

Martial arts and karate classes for kids are a great way to boost discipline, self-esteem, and fitness. I still remember breaking my first board in half as a kid! It was a self-confidence boost I really needed in the middle of a tough transition to a new school.

If you’re looking for taekwondo, hapkido, jiu jitsu, martial arts, and karate classes for kids, check out our master list of places to train. Be sure to ask about free trials offered at many of these spots. Park district classes are not included on this list, but almost every city offers martial arts classes for kids, so check your town’s catalogue.
