Modern Self-Defense for Today's Kids
Most kids' martial arts schools still teach the same techniques they've used for decades. At Anaheim Krav Maga, we take a different approach. We are a modern kids self-defense school built for the real challenges children face today—at school, in public, and online.
We aren't handcuffed by outdated traditions, rigid forms, or choreographed routines. Instead, we focus on practical, easy-to-learn skills that help kids stay safe, think clearly under pressure, and respond with confidence.
Ages 5–7
Little Ninjas build balance, listening skills, and bully-proof boundaries through games and gentle coaching.
Ages 8–12
