Youth Kickboxing/Muay Thai
When it comes to martial arts, learning sooner than later is better. These classes will introduce Muay Thai and kickboxing to your child in a safe and exciting environment. Learning will help teach your child self-discipline, give confidence and help them focus, all while building a positive attitude and respect for others. Your child will also learn defensive techniques such as blocking and head movement.
*Eligible ages are between 7-12 years old. Each child will be assigned a specific armband (Pra Jiad) based on their progress. The child will rank up after a scheduled test involved in what they are learning.
Kickboxing
This is a group fitness class that combines martial arts techniques with fast-paced cardio. All fitness levels are welcome. We build stamina, improve coordination and flexibility, and burn calories as you build lean muscle with this fun and challenging workout. You will increase your aerobic capacity, learn conditioning drills that improve your strength, agility, and quickness, and burn a ton of calories! Sessions will include bag work, pad work, and possibly light weights with some fast-moving footwork drills.
Boxing
All fitness levels are welcome. The trainer will help improve your technique but also will make sure you are getting a great workout. You’ll get a nice sweat and strengthen your core by combining boxing fundamentals with cardio/strength & conditioning all while having fun in the process. This class will improve hand-eye coordination, decrease stress, and improve overall body composition.
Muay Thai
Perfect for all levels. Learn the “Art of 8 Limbs” in what many consider the most practical striking form. This class is perfect for anyone ages 13 and up looking to get in great shape while learning self-defense, respect, and physical and mental wellbeing. In most classes you can expect to be walked through combos and techniques using a number system you will learn with a coach and training partner. Light technical sparring is usually involved but EGO’s absolutely are checked at the door.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
These classes will teach you basic to advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling movements and includes exercises and drills designed to improve the person’s ground game. It will help develop balance, strength, and confidence in different body movements. It’s also perfect for those that might want to transition to MMA or just cross train. These classes will help the individual focus on chain grappling concepts, submissions and takedowns and more progressive techniques with intensity needed to help each person reach their potential. Whether you are a beginner learning for the first time or experienced in grappling, you will enjoy this program.

“I've been going to CFS close to 8 months now. This is a really great gym. I take the Muay Thai/ kickboxing and Jujitsu classes and recommend this place to anyone. Very clean, maintained very well and have great equipment. Whether your new to martial arts or experienced, this is a really great place to learn and train. Very experienced coaches/trainers. I really can't say enough. Im learning so much training here and met alot of really good people.”
The Trusty Steed
“My 15yo son has been going to the adult kickboxing and Muay Thai for about a year now and it's been a great experience. He wanted to learn about self defense, which has happened but more importantly, the training has helped a shy kid break out of his shell and become more confident. It's been a great experience that's way more than just a few punches and kicks.”
“Absolutely love CFS Academy. The youth classes are amazing, my daughter loves it.”
“This is an awesome program for kids and adults. The coaches are very professional and knowledgeable. My daughter who is 9, started Muay Thai last year, and it has been great for her confidence! The instructors are phenomenal, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. This place will put your kid at ease with a comfortable environment and training partners who are supportive and want you to do their best.”
“I attended the Thursday night class with Alaina as an instructor. As a first time attendee I appreciated the cleanliness of the facility, the availability of equipment and the friendliness of the owner & staff. It was a hi intensity cardio workout that was challenging yet very encouraging and enjoyable. I would recommend this place to anyone. Stop by and check it out with a day class.”
“My son really enjoyed his experience at CFS Academy. The trainers were excellent and easy to work with, and very knowledgable about their craft. Highly recommended!”
