Ages 5–12
At 10th Planet Orange Park, we help kids grow stronger, more focused, and more confident — on and off the mats. Our kids Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai programs teach real self-defense, discipline, and teamwork in a fun, encouraging environment.
Led by experienced, caring coaches — including Coach Raven (a 2nd-degree Black Belt in Taekwondo) and Coach Nell (an active competitor) — our kids’ programs give young students the skills and mindset to succeed in every area of life.
Physical Chess
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art practiced without the traditional uniform — just rash guards and shorts. For kids, this means a fast-paced, engaging class where they learn to use technique and leverage instead of strength.
The 10th Planet system is built on problem-solving, creativity, and constant learning — making it one of the most mentally engaging activities your child can participate in. It’s physical chess, and kids love it.
A Typical Class
Every kids class at 10th Planet Orange Park is structured, age-appropriate, and genuinely fun. Here’s what a typical class looks like:
Our dual-mat setup means kids and adults can train during the same time block — making it easy for the whole family to participate.
Life Skills
Our kids coaches understand that every child learns differently. That’s why we focus on building each student up individually — with patience, encouragement, and high expectations. We don’t just teach martial arts. We teach life skills.
Your child will develop:
Become a Champion
Our youth regularly compete in regional grappling tournaments — and they bring home medals. Our Wednesday night competition class is open to both kids and adults who want to sharpen their skills for tournament day.
Competition is never mandatory, but for kids who want that extra challenge, we provide the training, the preparation, and the team support to help them shine.
Scholarships
10th Planet Orange Park is a proud Step Up For Students partner. If your child qualifies, their martial arts training may be covered through a scholarship — making it easy and affordable for every family to access quality instruction.
Our kids classes are designed for children starting around age 5 through age 12. Teens 12+ can join our teen/adult program.
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. All sparring is controlled and supervised, techniques are age-appropriate, and our coaches are trained to work with young students. Coach Storm’s background in Sports Medicine means every drill is designed with safety in mind.
The opposite. Martial arts teaches kids how to manage conflict, respect boundaries, and use self-control. Students who train consistently tend to be calmer, more focused, and better equipped to handle difficult situations.
Yes. We offer kids Muay Thai on select evenings and Saturday mornings. Check our schedule for specific times.
