Is There a Right Age to Start?

At AG Martial Arts, we get asked this all the time — and the answer is simpler than you might think. Kids as young as 3–4 years old can start learning martial arts in a fun, structured way through our Infants classes.

Why Start Early?

Martial arts isn’t just about punching and kicking — it’s about building coordination, discipline, focus, and confidence. Starting young helps children:

  • Improve balance and motor skills
  • Learn how to follow instructions
  • Develop respectful social behaviour

Is There a Too-Late Age?

Never. We also work with teens and even adults who are just starting out. It’s never too late to gain the benefits of martial arts.

Final Thought:

If your child is 4 or older and full of energy (or could benefit from a confidence boost), martial arts could be the perfect outlet. Book a free trial and see how they thrive.
