I've been looking for a place like this for my kids! I have a 10-year-old daughter and a…read more13-year-old boy who eagerly need more physical fitness in their life. I was looking for some type of martial arts besides karate so I tried this spot out. Right right away they gave me one week of Jujitsu and MMA classes for free. After the first day my children were hooked! I was surprised to see so many families and adults participating here because it is located in the Omni fitness gym. At first it was a little hard to find but as soon as I walked in the door I knew exactly where to go because of the boxing ring, octagon, stand up punching bags and matted floor that took half of the facility. The staff is amazing! The couple that are the main instructors are very good with children and they maintain a high level of discipline. They have other assistant instructors that help out and who look to be in very good shape and are in the amateur fighting business. They have boxing classes, kickboxing classes mixed martial arts, jujitsu and other classes for both kids and adults. Both of my children signed up for one month of MMA and jujitsu twice a week from 5-630 pm for $190. I thought this was an unbelievable deal and my kids are absolutely worn out and hungry at the end. I so glad I found this place.

The Beaufort MMA Senseis' abilities to build children up with confidence has worked wonders on my middle son who went from shying away from every situation and being timid to a child filled enough with confidence in himself that he willing engages and participates in tasks with others in all aspects of his life. My two sons went from being bullied and unsure of people and situations to being confident in making good choices to stand up for themselves and others to deescalate situations in the least confrontational way.
