Programs by age / 01

Five programs, one path.

Each program is built around exactly where your kid is — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Pick an age to see the full details.

Start here / 02

Choose by your kid's age.

Not sure where they fit? Find their age below — and if they’re between programs, book a free class and a coach will place them exactly right.

Adult kickboxing, summer camp, and birthday parties run on their own sister sites — same coaches, same standard.

What runs through all five / 03

More than kicks and punches.

No matter which program your kid joins, the same four outcomes run through every single class — the ones you’ll see at home, at school, and in the mirror.

01

Confidence

They walk taller — in class, at school, and the first time a bigger kid tests them.

02

Focus

Eyes up, listening, finishing what they start. The kind of focus that shows up in homework too.

03

Discipline

Showing up on the hard days. Small reps that quietly become who they are.

04

Respect

Bowing to a partner, helping a younger kid, looking an adult in the eye and meaning it.

The journey / 04

White belt to black belt.

A belt isn’t a participation sticker. It’s earned — and every stripe is a milestone you’ll watch happen in real life.

  1. White Belt Day one

    The journey starts. Bowing in, listening, the very first stance.

  2. Yellow Belt ~Month 3

    First real techniques land. The shy kid starts raising their hand.

  3. Orange Belt ~Month 6

    Combinations click. Focus that parents notice at home.

  4. Green Belt ~Year 1

    Real control. Helping newer kids without being asked.

  5. Blue Belt ~Year 1.5

    Sparring with composure. Losing well and trying again.

  6. Purple Belt ~Year 2

    Leadership shows up. The kid other kids look to.

  7. Brown Belt ~Year 3

    Mastery of the basics. Quiet, earned confidence.

  8. Red Belt ~Year 3.5

    The final stretch before black. Mentoring the room.

  9. Black Belt ~Year 4+

    Not the end — the standard they now carry everywhere.

Questions parents always ask.

How do I know which program is right for my child?

Every Warrior program is matched to a specific age and stage. Find your kid’s age above and start there — and if they’re between programs or you’re unsure, book a free class. Our coaches place every kid in exactly the room where they’ll thrive.

What age can my child start martial arts?

As young as 18 months. Our Mighty Warriors class (18 months–2) is parent-on-the-mat and play-based, and kids grow through Mini (3–4), Rising (5–6), Warriors (7–9), and Leaders (10–11). Most schools start at 4 or 5 — we built a real path for the littlest ones.

Do you offer a free class?

Yes. Your kid’s first class is free — a private 45-minute session with a head coach, including a real technique and their first board break. It’s the easiest way to see if Warrior is the right fit before you decide anything.

How much do classes cost?

Memberships are simple and month-to-month, and most families start around the price of other weekly activities. We’ll walk you through exactly what it costs at your first class — no surprises. Start with a free class and we’ll build a plan around your kid.

What should my child wear to the first class?

Just comfortable clothes they can move in — a t-shirt and shorts or sweatpants, bare feet. We’ll provide everything else for the first class. When they enroll, they’ll get their official Warrior uniform.
