Teaching your child right from wrong is one of the toughest challenges you as a parent face, and it's not taught in our school system. You love your child, want the best for them, and offer them the tools to take on life and succeed, but protecting them from bullying, internet predators, and constant peer pressure in and outside of school can make any parent feel overwhelmed.
The great thing, though, is you don't have to do this alone. With Martial Arts Nation right here in Lake Nona, our robust kid's martial arts program is the perfect companion to help you raise strong, confident, and respectful children who can defend themselves.
Parenting is no easy job, but you shouldn't have to face all the challenges alone! Let Martial Arts Nation help you equip your child for success in our ever-changing world and give you peace of mind.
INSTILLING IN YOUR CHILD LIFE SKILLS, LEADERSHIP ABILITIES, AND MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING FOR SELF-DEFENSE AND CONFIDENCE IS VITAL TO GIVING THEM THE BEST START TO LIFE, AND WITH OUR PROVEN WORLD-RENOWNED PROGRAMS, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE TEACH IN EVERY CLASS.
We offer an enhanced Jiu-Jitsu curriculum that incorporates the best elements of other martial arts, such as Muay Thai, Judo, and wrestling while keeping the most effective martial art as its foundation, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
We develop self-defense, character education, and confidence throughout their Jiu-Jitsu journey with tried-and-true Martial Art techniques. Not just training, but a system for success in every class.
Our programs offer your children a unique opportunity to be physically strong, agile, and confident both on the mats and in their daily lives. Whether it be losing weight, increasing their athleticism, or knowing they can better defend themselves from bullies both in school we train them for success.
Not only will your child learn the most effective martial art (Jiu-Jitsu), but they will also learn social and life skills such as high goal setting, respect and confidence, teamwork, and how to keep a positive mental attitude no matter what life throws at them.
And did we mention that classes are taught by World-renowned World Champion and Icon of the sport, Master Ricardo Liborio.
We focus on the physical, mental, and personal development aspects of martial arts, not just self-defense techniques.

We offer kid's Martial Arts programs for 4 & up with 3 different classes/ago groups to ensure your child has the perfect fit.
Our primary goal is to make sure all our Jiu-Jitsu students have the time of their lives training in an enjoyable, family, and safe environment. Drop by and see a class for yourself - we all have a blast, and our instructors love it too!
Not at all, our classes offer a great mix of both boys and girls of all fitness levels and ages. It's very common in Martial Arts for beginners to train alongside some of the more experienced students to learn safely and progress faster…. helping each other out in an enjoyable team environment is a pillar of the Jiu-Jitsu culture and our gym.
Athletic shorts or leggings and a tighter-fitting t-shirt are perfect for their first day. After their first class, we have all the gear they will need at our PRO shop ready to go.
You will receive an email and phone confirmation with instructions on how to enjoy their first class of Jiu-Jitsu. One of our instructors will call you, or you may contact the school directly at: (407) 580-3835
We have a program for everyone and every budget. We offer monthly investment options as well as savings on longer programs of up to 10% and a FREE Gi (uniform). Ask our GYM manager about these savings and even our family plans to save the most today.
Not at all! They will learn battle-tested Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense techniques safely. We do, of course, offer live sparring, what we call (ROLLING) only when they're ready to offer them with the best conditioning of their life and to more fully prepare them should a real-life confrontation arise. The great thing is if at any time they feel uncomfortable, all you do is tap twice with their hand or foot, which stops the roll immediately…. we're always safe and have our instructors watching each roll.
