Kids Muay Thai Classes
What is kids’ Muay Thai?
Kids Muay Thai is a youth-focused martial arts program inspired by the traditional art of Muay Thai, the national sport of Thailand. It teaches kids basic striking techniques—such as punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes—while emphasizing proper form, safety, and respect. With a playful yet structured approach, these classes encourage healthy movement, coordination, and self-control.
Beyond physical skills, kids’ Muay Thai instills essential life values like discipline, perseverance, respect, and teamwork. Each session of Muay Thai class blends warm-ups, drills, partner exercises, and cool-downs to create a dynamic routine that keeps kids engaged and active. Whether your child wants to get fit, learn self-defence, or simply have fun, Muay Thai is a fantastic choice.

What Our Members Say
“I love everything about this place! I always feel welcome when I walk in and this place has quickly become my second home and all my training partners have become like family. Kevin who is the head instructor, has such an innovative style and makes learning entertaining and easy to understand. Every day I learn something new and after every practice, I’ve never felt better. Also there’s showers here so if you have a longer drive home like myself (come from Temecula) then you can always shower before heading out. Hope this review helps bring you in and hope to see you on the mats!”

“Coach Kevin is dope and is always available for his students. Definitely a fun and family atmosphere. I’ve gotten my butt kicked but I’m going to keep coming back more because I want to get better. Definitely is addicting and fun and the schedule is awesome. Different class sizes every time so you’ll be able to roll with a lot of different people with bigger classes and more 1-1 focus on the smaller classes.”
Matthew N.Westwood, Los Angeles, CA
“Joining 10th planet poway has the absolute best decision. The instructor, Kevin, is extremely patient and helpful. I walked in two months ago knowing nothing about martial arts and the whole community is just fantastic, I’ve already learned so much! Everyones there to support one another and it’s just a giant family. Awesome facility, awesome trainer, awesome crowd.”

“Joining 10th Planet Poway is the best decision I’ve ever made. Definitely the best workout I’ve ever gotten. Coach Kevin is an incredible instructor. The moves you learn from him get you moving in ways you definitely haven’t thought of. The training environment is safe and friendly. The team is like a huge family that will kick your a**, just for fun and you learn how to kick theirs. Whether you are here just for the work out or are here to compete. You’d be making a mistake if you didn’t come check out this gym.”
Dylan B.Old Poway, Poway, CA
I’ve been training here for four months now. I have fun every day, and never feel like I have to drag my ass to the gym. Don’t get me wrong- its quite difficult. But the feeling of getting better every day in this sport when the stakes feel so high- it’s irreplaceable. Kevin is the perfect coach. Willing to sit with you for a moment and go through the specifics of each move. He truly wants his students to grow and get better at the sport. He’s a phenomenal jiu jitsu player but never gets too pretentious. The best part of his attitude is that it bleeds into his leadership for his students as well, and keeps everyone chill. I’ll be here for as long as they’ll have me, and have made getting my blue belt a primary goal in my life. Come try a class!
