From the reviews

I have 4 sons and they are involved in a number of sports/hobbies. We have searched many years, looking for the perfect martial arts program. There are facilities which claim to be "martial arts", but upon further analysis I find their main pull is the after school day cares and summer camps, leaving martial arts as…

★★★★★ — Annie, Apr 2022

This has been far the most rewarding program for kids. Sinse my daughter started a few months ago,the change in her is remarkable. She has more confidence in her self,she can walk tall with a smile on her face.

★★★★★ — Crystal, May 2018

Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been incredible for our family. My children have trained here for over three years and have grown so much in confidence, discipline, and self-pride. The coaches are supportive, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth,both on and off the mats.

★★★★★ — Greta, Jan 2026

Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more than just a place to train—it's a welcoming community where kids and families can learn, grow, and connect. Classes are offered 6 days a week, all the coaches are welcoming and encouraging and overall enrolling our son has been a great experience for our family.

Your first muay thai class at Stonecoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for Kids

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
