About the Program

Hard Knocks Muay Thai & Judo is a striking and grappling gym on West Tropicana Avenue in the southwest valley, with a kids class for ages 5 to 12. Children need to be at least 5 to join, and after age 12 they move up into the adult classes.

The youth side is split into two 45 minute sessions. Kids Judo starts at 4:00 PM and Kids Muay Thai follows at 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, so a child can take one or stack both on the same afternoon. Judo covers throws, pins and submissions, with a lot of attention on learning to fall safely. Muay Thai is a full body workout with light sparring, and the gym says sparring is always optional and only added once a student is ready.

The gym says coach Renzo is a Muay Thai champion, and its facility list includes a kids training area, a judo training area and a boxing ring.

The first week is free for Las Vegas residents, and the gym supplies the gear for trial classes, so your child only needs workout clothes and a water bottle. Call (702) 419-1623 to ask about kids pricing before the trial week ends. Weekday hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

First Visit Guide

What most martial arts schools expect. Confirm the details with Hard Knocks Muay Thai & Judo before you go.

What to bring

  • A t-shirt and shorts or joggers. You don't need a uniform for a trial class. Schools sell or include one when you sign up.
  • Water bottle
  • Shoes that slip off easily, since everyone is barefoot on the mat

Before you go

  • Trim fingernails and toenails. It's a mat rule almost everywhere.
  • Leave the jewelry at home.
  • Arrive 10 minutes early so your child can watch the class before theirs and see how it works.

The first visit

Most dojos run a free or cheap trial. Expect bowing in, warm-ups, and basic stances. Teachers see first-timers every week and will put your child at the back where they can copy the older kids.

For sensory-sensitive kids

Ask about class size and whether there's a slower intro class. The line-up-and-bow structure is the same every single class, and that predictability is exactly why a lot of kids with ADHD or autism end up loving martial arts once it's familiar.
