360 Kids
Our robust 360 Kids program helps to boost your child’s focus, respect, confidence, and social skills… while they have fun and work with other awesome kids.
Our Approach: Fighting for Self Defense
At 360, we teach kids the importance of self-defense through learning how to fight. Our program is designed to build confidence, discipline, and physical fitness while helping kids learn how to protect themselves. We focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where children can develop essential life skills both on and off the mat.
Kickboxing for Kids: Powerful Striking Skills
Kickboxing forms the foundation of our striking curriculum, teaching kids how to use their hands, feet, knees, and elbows in controlled, powerful ways. Through a combination of drills and sparring, students will develop speed, accuracy, and coordination while improving their overall fitness. We emphasize proper technique and discipline, ensuring that kids learn how to strike with purpose and responsibility—always within the context of self-defense.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Ground Defense for Confidence
Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program teaches kids how to defend themselves on the ground, focusing on leverage, submissions, and escapes. Kids will learn how to remain calm under pressure, defend against larger opponents, and control situations without relying on size or strength. BJJ is not just a physical skill but a mental one, helping kids develop problem-solving abilities and resilience. We prepare them to face real-life challenges with confidence and composure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Children's Martial Arts Program
We always emphasize when and where students should practice the skills they learn in classes- and that is only on the mat. We stress that these skills are only to be used as a last resort to defend themselves. If we see any students that are using the skills inappropriately or are treating others with anything less than respect, we immediately address it. The vast majority of kids increase their confidence and learn to treat others with kindness and respect.
We don’t require parents to stay during classes. However, we do find that parents who get involved with their kids’ progress truly build a solid connection as they see their child grow in confidence and skill. And building strong family units is important to us at 360 Krav Maga for our Long Beach community.
