Discover Life Skills and Practical Self-Defense for Kids at Combat Club NYC

Welcome to Combat Club by KMI, NYC’s premier life skills and self-defense academy for kids. Our mission is to strengthen children’s and teenagers’ minds, bodies, and characters across New York City.

Since opening our doors in 2010, our focus is not on fighting but on building self-confidence, leadership, life skills, and practical self-defense abilities through martial arts. Whether your child is just starting or has previous experience, we welcome all kids ages 6 and up to join our community.

Why Choose Combat Club’s Life Skills and Hybrid Martial Arts Program for your child in NYC?

Raising children in the vibrant city of New York comes with its unique set of challenges, and we understand that because we are parents ourselves. Our education system may not always provide the comprehensive support needed to ensure your child’s holistic development and health, and safety. It takes a village or a team of experts.

At Combat Club, we strive to bridge these gaps by offering a nurturing and supportive environment where children can learn and grow. Our kids’ hybrid martial arts and life skills programs are specifically designed to equip children with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of urban life, instilling in them the confidence to thrive and succeed.

Our Approach to Hybrid Martial Arts, Life Skills and Fitness.

Combat Club’s Foundation Program was created by a team of experts alongside parents who understand the difficulties of raising children in NYC, in order to help your child reach their full potential. Our program is based in a 5000 sq ft studio in Tribeca.

The starting point is our Foundation Program which is not just about learning practical self defense through a hybrid martial arts system based on a combination of Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Boxing and Jiu Jitsu grappling. Our Black Belt Program has the option of an add on Character Development and Leadership Program. These programs provide a comprehensive approach to your child’s development taught through a combination of physical means and in class exercises. They are crafted with insights from PhDs, behavioral and child psychologists, self-defense experts, fitness experts and teachers. We address all aspects of your child’s growth, from dealing with developing key life skills for success (e.g. self-confidence) to practical self-defense (such as dealing with bullying and traveling on subways), ensuring well-rounded development.

Life skills include time and stress management, understanding consequences, focus, self-discipline, learning to make and keep friendships, story telling, and resilience (to name a few). The hybrid martial arts portion of the program addresses real-world physical challenges such as preventing physical confrontations and the various forms of bullying, through conflict communication, behavior modification, strategic thinking and prevention techniques.

Parents appreciate the life skills and behavioral benefits of our program, which include improved focus at school, higher self-esteem, better social skills, and a greater sense of responsibility and control over their lives.
