We have 15 years experience teaching children producing over 100 black belts out of our Rochester Hills location. Krav Maga is the best martial art system for kids to learn!! We Designed our Krav Maga kids program specifically for children in mind- Krav RMX for kids is a structured approach to teaching kids aged 6 and above the self defense system of Krav Maga.  We weave in a lot of messaging of respect for others, appropriate use of force,  situational awareness,  and self discipline.  The kids must recite the promise to respect others and their parents and teachers at the beginning of every kids self defense class as well as recite our core principles: 

 Humility, Integrity, Courage, Perseverance, Self Control, and Unbreakable Spirit.

Krav Maga RMX is intuitive and easy to learn for kids.   It teaches your child how use their mind and their kids self-defense skills to defend against multiple scenario attacks.  Because physical conflict is unpredictable, your child will be taught how to adapt to an ever-changing conflict in order to provide the best and most efficient way to get away safely. Our Krav Maga kids program focusses on self-defense, not competition. We stress mental toughness, physical conditioning and physical toughness, while teaching the students to be kind and compassionate towards others.  Your child will learn Situational Awareness and Being Present in the Moment which is considered to be more powerful than the self defense itself because the focus of these concepts are about avoiding a potentially dangerous situation by keeping yourself in tune with your surroundings.  The instructors at RHAMMA Krav Maga teach a structured discipline that requires your child to learn how to follow instructions, how to self-motivate, and how to become a high performance person both in their Krav Maga and in their everyday life. The drills our students work on are unique to Krav Maga. The reality-based drills create a mindset in the child that when the unexpected occurs, not to become overwhelmed because there is always a solution. This is a main principle of Krav Maga and our students quickly become adept at finding creative solutions to challenges and changes on the spot. Instructors stress the importance of applying these same skills in everyday life.   Self Defense Skills Our kids class teach stand up striking and blocking, stand up grappling, ground defenses, and ground attacks. Your child will learn takedowns as well as defenses against being grabbed, choked, or put into multiple different headlocks. We teach Jui Jitsu escapes and Greco Roman ground wrestling and ground fighting techniques.  The core values of our Krav Maga kids program include:   · Creating and maintaining a good work ethic, · Respect and compassion for others, · Personal Responsibility, Personal Hygiene,· Setting goals in life, · Having Perseverance, and Never giving up.  This is intended to create well rounded kids that can not only defend themselves, but are responsible with their skill, have respect for others, and know the value of working hard for their goals. Our students are taught to never stop until they have overcome a problem or reached their goals. Levels In Krav RMX, kids will learn by level.  Each level has self-defense movements for the students to learn and master. They then must prove they are proficient in order to move up to the next level.  The movements are always a combination of striking and blocking techniques, grabbing defenses, and ground defenses. Children will engage in light sparring to build coordination, learn timing, and learn to be proficient in their self-defense movements.  We are here to win the fight and overcome life’s obstacles. By training this way, your child will be able to walk through life in peace, with great confidence and be successful.  Foundations for the Future Our kids Krav RMX program lays the foundation for training in our adult Krav Maga program later.   All movements are Krav Maga Based which means that a little dragon (age 3-5) can promote directly to the kids’ program.   A kids self defense program student (age 6- 13) can promote directly to the adult program once they are old enough and ready. Kids at RHAMMA Krav Maga grow up right into the adult program and continue learning and enriching their lives.
