Confidence & Self-Defense: Through Dynamite Kickboxing, our DynaKids develop real self defense skills while learning when and how to use them responsibly. With every class, they build confidence in their abilities, both on and off the mats.
Discipline & Focus: Our structured training philosophy help kids develop the discipline to stay committed, focused, and respectful in all aspects of life.
Smart Decision Making & Emotional Control: Kickboxing teaches more than just striking, it helps kids harness their energy, control their emotions, and make responsible decisions, whether in training, school, or social situations.

WHY STUDY AT DYNAMITE KICKBOXING?
Our program follows F.R.E.D. (Focus, Respect, Energy, and Discipline) to help kids develop essential life skills on and off the mats.

ADDITIONAL DYNAKIDS BENEFITS
Character Development: From the technical and mental aspects of Kickboxing to the underlying basis of respect, discipline and kindness, Dynamite Kickboxing will help your child grow not just as a martial artist but as a young human. Our students do well and achieve success on the mats and at competitions because they know how to honor the martial art they practice, and the power it gives them.
Skilled Coaches: Along with having plenty of Kickboxing experience as instructors and practitioners, our kids coaches also have a solid foundation of child development. Whether welcoming a shy youngster to the mats for the first time or helping our kids get in top gear for competitions, our kids coaches continuously receive raving feedback from families.
Social Skills: Learning how to engage physically with peers will help your child immensely in other areas of life. Just as interacting with others comprises a large part of child development, learning to use our bodies in relation to each other in a safe and playful space builds confidence and life long friendships.

WHAT WILL MY CHILD'S FIRST CLASS LOOK LIKE?
Signing up is easy! Once registered for a Trial Class, our team will schedule a 30 minute orientation before their first class. We’ll lend them boxing gloves and shin guards, introduce them to their coach, and help them feel comfortable before stepping onto the mats.
Class begins with dynamic warm ups, footwork drills, and more!
Kids will practice basic Kickboxing techniques on heavy bags and Thai Pads in a structured, safe environment. The class finishes with fun, interactive drills that reinforce balance, coordination, and striking fundamentals.
FAQ
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
IS KICKBOXING SAFE FOR KIDS?
Yes! Our DynaKids Kickboxing program is designed with safety in mind. Classes focus on technique, discipline, and controlled drills, ensuring kids train in a structured, supervised environment with protective gear and expert coaching.
DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO COMPETE?
Not at all! Competition is optional at Dynamite. While some kids enjoy testing their skills in a competitive setting, Kickboxing is about learning, growing, and gaining confidence at their own pace.
For those interested, the Ascend World Series "Next Gen League" provides a great first competition experience in a friendly, supportive environment.
WHAT MAKES THE DYNAKIDS KICKBOXING PROGRAM DIFFERENT THAN OTHER GYMS?
At Dynamite, we’ve been teaching martial arts since 2014 and we have built one of the largest and most welcoming martial arts communities in the country. Our DynaKids Kickboxing program emphasizes F.R.E.D. (Focus, Respect, Energy, and Discipline) to ensure kids develop skills on and off the mats.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR TO THEIR FIRST KICKBOXING CLASS?
We’ll provide loaner gloves for their first class! Just have them wear comfortable athletic clothing. Once enrolled, they’ll need their own gloves and Kickboxing shorts, which are available at the academy.
