Altruist Mixed Martial Arts

Altruist Mixed Martial Arts in Henderson runs classes for kids and teens ages 3 to 18, splitting age groups roughly into 3 to 5, 6 to 12, and 13 to 18 year olds. The curriculum covers mixed martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, self-defense, and youth fitness, so a family can pick a single discipline or let a kid try a few different styles as they figure out what they like.

The class schedule varies quite a bit by day. Monday runs 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday run 4:30 to 8:00 p.m., Wednesday extends to 8:30 p.m., and Friday is shorter at 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday has three separate windows, 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., which likely correspond to different age groups or belt levels meeting at different times. Sunday has one afternoon session from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

The gym describes its approach around experienced instructors, a safe training environment, a structured curriculum, age-appropriate programs, and a positive atmosphere, which points to classes being broken out by age and skill level rather than mixing everyone into one group.

Pricing is marked in the moderate ($$) range in the directory, though exact rates for different class types are not listed. The listing does not include information on scholarships, sibling discounts, or special needs accommodations, so those are good questions to ask when calling to schedule a first class.

The mix of striking, grappling, and self-defense across one gym also means a family does not need to shop around at separate schools if a kid's interest shifts from one discipline to another over time.
