Committed Kids. Warrior Training. Real Martial Arts.

Anta’s Jeet Kune Do Kids classes are for committed children who are part of our Warrior Training Program.
Yet in our Kids Mixed Martial Arts classes, we also teach essential JKD principles and techniques.

Children at Anta’s learn the same philosophy and concepts created by Bruce Lee, gaining confidence, discipline, and real-world self-defense skills.

 What Makes Jeet Kune Do Perfect for Kids?

Kids love knowing they’re learning the same fighting concepts he taught and practiced.
