Antonio is now 14 years old and he has been training at our school for 8 years. He also started training with the adults well over a year ago. Sometimes that transition is difficult but Antonio has thrived in that challenge. He has also applied the principles well in other areas of his life. Academically he gets straight A’s, is on the honor roll, and has achieved an excellence in Work Ethic Award. Antonio also races Karts on the National Circuit and has travelled to race in various spots throughout North America.  He brings a positive energy with him and a good smile. 🙂

At the dojo our instructor team has provided excellent instruction that has been received, in my opinion. He has also received tremendous support and love from his parents. The future is bright and his potential is strong for his future pursuits. After some time to reflect on where he has come from, he will undoubtedly look forward to future challenges in the Mixed Martial Arts Vancouver practice.

Here is some information on our Kids/Youth MMA Vancouver Program:

A Mixed Martial Arts style emphasizing traditional philosophy.


With special attention given to motor skill development, mental focusing attributes, and children’s inherent capabilities. Youth MMA Vancouver Children’s and Teen classes are designed to emphasize:

 

  • DISCIPLINE
  • RESPECT
  • CONFIDENCE DEVELOPMENT
  • SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT

 

The development of these qualities and principals are given extra attention because they build a strong foundation in the three battles: the Mind, the Body, and the Spirit. If developed properly, then success is assured.



We engage in a brief zazen meditation at the beginning of each class to become present, focused and prepared for what is to come in the class, and, at the end of class, we meditate briefly to lock in the experiences, center our energy, and commit to continuing making progress. As a regular practice to enhance learning, we also repeat strongly the Tenets of the School, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit, at the end of each class to solidify the development of these qualities for Kids Mixed Martial Arts Vancouver.

Our Qualification Code, which is a form to be filled out by the parent and student for advancement in rank, for Kids MMA Vancouver at Posener’s Pankration/MMA and Muay Thai, highlights that respect and school achievement, in addition to the development of combative skills in mixed martial arts, are highly valued, esteemed and developed.

The development of equanimity of spirit is also given special attention in order to deal with challenges well; especially in regards to winning and losing. The attributes of effort, determination, skill development and spirit are given special attention, as these qualities will lead to enduring success. The goal of truly doing one’s best, regardless of outcome, especially in regards to some combative sport applications, is given priority to help develop progress, growth and character. The consistent and continuous goal of making progress in all areas, both on the mat and off, will help develop a student’s full long term potential for Kids/Youth MMA Vancouver at Posener’s Pankration/MMA and Muay Thai.
