Kids Program
The Scions
At Roots Muay Thai Academy in Barrie, Ontario, we believe in nurturing the next generation of athletes and leaders through the art of Muay Thai.
Our Kids Program is designed specifically for children aged 7 to 12, providing a welcoming and supportive environment where they can grow physically, mentally, and socially.
​
For teens aged 13 to 17, we integrate them into our regular curriculum, ensuring they receive age-appropriate challenges and opportunities to thrive.
Building Strong Foundations
Our program goes beyond teaching Muay Thai. It focuses on instilling essential character traits such as discipline, respect, perseverance, and teamwork.
Through structured training sessions, children develop improved fitness, balance, coordination, and self-confidence.
These skills not only benefit them in the gym but also in their daily lives, enhancing their ability to face challenges with resilience and a positive mindset.
A Structured and Engaging Curriculum
Classes are held three times a week, offering a consistent routine that helps children stay active and committed. Each session is structured to include:
​
-
Warm-Up: Dynamic exercises to improve flexibility, endurance, and focus.
-
Technique Learning: Step-by-step instruction in Muay Thai techniques, ensuring proper form and understanding.
-
Teamwork and Application: Partner drills, pad work, and bag work that encourage collaboration and mutual support.
-
Cool Down and Reflection: A moment to stretch, reflect on the session, and set goals for improvement.
This balanced approach ensures that kids are constantly learning, practicing, and growing in a fun yet disciplined environment.
Opportunities for Growth and Competition
We provide opportunities to compete in sanctioned events. These experiences help build confidence, teach the value of hard work, and allow children to showcase their dedication in a safe and supportive setting. While competition is optional, all students benefit from the discipline and focus required to train like a competitor.
A Gateway to Lifelong Benefits
Our Kids Program not only introduces children to the art of Muay Thai but also lays the foundation for lifelong health and character development. Whether they continue in martial arts or apply these lessons elsewhere, the skills and values they gain at Roots Muay Thai Academy will serve them for years to come.
Join us three times a week to experience the transformative power of Muay Thai for your child. At Roots Muay Thai Academy, we’re not just building athletes—we’re building confident, respectful, and resilient individuals.
