“A fun energetic program that teaches good fundamentals that stay with you.” -Ran Lackey, top-5 ranked youth grappler
We are excited to announce new Red Dragons Kids & Teen Classes at Redline. Our expert staff is great with kids!
These classes will emphasize safety, discipline, respect, self protection against bullies & other dangers, attention & focus, self confidence, fitness/weight-loss, and of course GREAT techniques. These are NOT your average kiddie-karate classes, these are REAL boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other aspects of MMA, taught in a safe and structured environment. Competition is not mandatory, but will be an option for the kids and teens once they achieve adequate skill level. They will be formally ranked in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as they progress.
The Kids Program will be taught by Wahset (one of Coach Lashely’s top guys), an expert boxer and Golden Gloves Champion (who is also a father with two kids of his own and GREAT with kids), and Jordan, who has been formally trained by Llyod Ervin (famous BJJ Master) in teaching kids classes specifically and is also fantastic in working with kids. The Teen MMA Program is taught by Jeovanny, a long time Mauy Thai Kickboxing and BJJ practitioner who is also a certified fitness trainer, and Kin, who is a top ranked MMA fighter in his weight class in the New England region. Other instructors such as Jordan, Wahset and other Redline coaches will also be working with the teens.
The Teen MMA Program meets on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 4:00 to 5:30pm. The class covers all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts, including boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and lots of fitness drills.
The Red Dragon’s Kids Program now meets on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:00pm. The curriculum will be boxing on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We will be increasing the number of classes and will include more kickboxing and other aspects of MMA as the kids progress and he class size grows. Look out for a new Saturday morning Kids MMA Class real soon! This curriculum will create a very solid foundation for all types of martial arts and sport fighting. And this is GREAT cross-training for football, field hockey and other sports. Boxing gloves and hand wraps are required for the boxing (and kickboxing), as well as indoor boxing type shoes and a mouth-guard for extra safety. A traditional ‘gi’ and belt will be required for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. These items can be purchased at the gym as part of a training package.
Bring your child in soon to get started!
