Why Train Kids MMA at V3 MMA?

Port St. Lucie's most affordable kids mma program — coached by an active professional fighter.

Real Martial Arts, Not Daycare

We teach actual technique — age-appropriate boxing, grappling, and self-defense. Kids learn skills they can use and build on, not just games with a martial arts theme.

Confidence Through Competence

Nothing builds a kid's confidence like learning they can handle themselves. Our students develop real self-assurance because they're developing real abilities.

Discipline and Focus

Martial arts training teaches kids to listen, follow instructions, push through challenges, and respect their training partners. Parents consistently tell us it carries over to school and home.

Anti-Bullying Self-Defense

Kids learn practical self-defense that emphasizes awareness, de-escalation, and physical techniques as a last resort. They gain the confidence to stand up for themselves without being aggressors.

Pro Fighter Coaching

Shane Mistretta brings the same expertise to kids classes that he brings to adults — scaled appropriately for young athletes. Kids get instruction from a real professional fighter, not a teen with a black belt.

Kids MMA FAQs

Common questions about our kids mma program in Port St. Lucie.

What age can my child start MMA?
Our Kids MMA program in Port St. Lucie accepts children ages 6-15. Kids are grouped by age and experience level when possible to ensure appropriate training partners and instruction.
Is MMA safe for kids?
Absolutely. Our kids program emphasizes technique, control, and safety above everything else. There's no unsupervised sparring or full-contact fighting. All activities are age-appropriate and closely monitored by our professional coach.
Will martial arts make my child aggressive?
The opposite, actually. Research consistently shows that martial arts training reduces aggression in children. Kids learn discipline, respect, and emotional control. They also learn that their skills come with responsibility — we emphasize that fighting is always a last resort.
My child is shy / unathletic — is this right for them?
Those are actually the kids who benefit most. Martial arts is individual progress, not team sports where less athletic kids get sidelined. Shy kids gain confidence through skill development, and unathletic kids build coordination and fitness at their own pace.
How much are kids martial arts classes in Port St. Lucie?
The V3 MMA Kids Program is $149/month with no contracts and no hidden fees. No belt testing fees, no required equipment purchases. We offer a free trial class so your child can experience it before you commit.
