Welcome to the Kids Program at Adams’ MMA — where children learn confidence, discipline, respect, focus, self-defense, and leadership in a positive and structured environment.
This program is designed specifically for ages 8–13 and helps students grow both physically and mentally through martial arts and what we call: 🔥 “Mental Martial Arts” 🔥
At Adams’ MMA, we believe martial arts training should help children become stronger in every area of life — not just on the mat.
Our classes help students:
✔ Build confidence
✔ Improve focus and discipline
✔ Develop respect and self-control
✔ Increase athletic ability and coordination
✔ Learn real-world self-defense
✔ Improve fitness and flexibility
✔ Learn leadership and teamwork
✔ Build mental toughness
✔ Develop anti-bullying awareness
This is about much more than punches and kicks.
It is about helping young people become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for life.
Real Martial Arts For The Real World
At Adams’ MMA, we teach “Street Realistic Self-Defense.”
Students learn practical martial arts skills through a blend of:
🥋 Kajukenbo
🥋 Karate
🥋 Aiki-Jujitsu
🥋 Grappling
🥋 Self-Defense
🥋 Movement & Coordination Training
We teach children how to:
✔ Stay calm under pressure
✔ Protect themselves
✔ Use awareness and confidence to avoid problems
✔ Build discipline and control
✔ Respect others while standing up for themselves
Our goal is not to create bullies.
Our goal is to create strong, respectful, disciplined young leaders.
More Than A Martial Arts School
We are building more than fighters…
We are building confidence, discipline, and character.
In today’s world, many children struggle with:
❌ Too much screen time
❌ Lack of confidence
❌ Poor focus
❌ Low physical activity
❌ Anxiety and stress
❌ Bullying
Martial arts gives children a positive outlet while helping them become mentally and physically stronger.
Students are encouraged to support each other, work hard, stay disciplined, and keep improving.
Because at Adams’ MMA, our philosophy is simple: Consistent Discipline Wins.

Classes are taught by Brian Adams, who has over 40 years of martial arts experience and holds advanced black belt rankings in multiple martial arts systems.

No contracts. No pressure. Just come & experience
Most gyms train for the ring or a cage with referees and rules. We focus on street-realistic self-defense. Our training is based on over 40 years of experience in Kajukenbo, Aiki-Jujitsu, and real-world tactical awareness. We don't train for trophies; we train for survival.
Yes. Kajukenbo was designed in Hawaii specifically for self-defense. It combines Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Kenpo, and Boxing. At Adams’ MMA, we break these techniques down into manageable steps so anyone, regardless of fitness level, can start safely.
We typically recommend starting around age 5 or 6. Our Kids Anti-Bully Training focuses on "verbal judo," confidence, and the physical skills needed to stay safe without being the aggressor.
Not at all. Our Tai Chi classes in Surfside Beach are designed for health, balance, and longevity. It is low-impact and perfect for seniors or anyone recovering from injury who wants to improve their mobility and mental focus.
We are officially open at 1772 Highway 17 North, Surfside Beach,SC. We serve the entire Grand Strand, including Myrtle Beach, Socastee, and Murrells Inlet.
