Grandmas bring power to MMA
MY Martial Arts loves seeing families come together – and some of their biggest cheerleaders aren’t parents, but grandparents.
Every week, they take their special spot on the sidelines, watching their grandkids train, learn, and grow – not just in martial arts skills, but in confidence, focus, and life lessons.
One proud grandmother said she loves seeing her grandson’s “emotional and physical development.”
“Karate has helped his social skills and confidence. It’s awesome to see,” she said.
Another grandmother, who has been taking her grandson to My Martial Arts since he was four and a half years old, said she did it to get him involved in a sport and make friends.
“He has thrived under the guidance of the instructors and looks to them as role models,” she said.
“His confidence has grown and his focus has improved in all areas of his life.
“The instructors are amazing with the kids, creating a fun and supportive space where my grandson feels safe to be himself.
“The atmosphere at the centre is friendly, and as a grandmother I feel very welcomed.”
For these grandparents, martial arts isn’t just about kicks and punches – it’s about being there to witness those moments of achievement, to clap the loudest, and to encourage their grandkids to be their best selves.
If you’ve ever thought about getting your grandkids into martial arts, My Martial Arts would love to welcome both of you to join their community.

Share with parents and grandparents the many benefits martial arts brings – from fitness and discipline to confidence and resilience.
“Because when grandparents get involved, the impact lasts a lifetime.”
