DISCLOSURE: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

As athletic and sports-loving as my kids are, we haven’t ever tried anything like Tai-Kwon-Do or Mixed Martial Arts. I certainly haven’t ever genuinely considered it for my preschoolers. Even taking an online mixed martial arts course seemed a little far-fetched prior to the last year, but here we are! Today I’m please to share our review of Family Mixed Martial Arts Videos Preschool Mixed Martial Arts from Family Mixed Martial Arts Videos. My 3 (almost 4) year old son was excited to have an activity for him, but honestly, the other two were not happy to be left out so it turned into a family affair.

What We Received:

We received access to an online course, MMA Course for Early Learners, which consisted of 16 video lessons. There were a few printable files for supply lists and certification instructions. Supplies consisted of items you likely have around the house, but easily replaced by something available.

How It Works:

This Preschool MMA online course functions like many virtual courses these days. It is easy to navigate with a table of contents always visible on the left side and every lesson can be accessed in any order, with the previous and following videos always visible at the bottom of the video player. Unless your student has had previous MMA instruction, I doubt there would be any need to skip around. This is certainly a program that requires parents to help and direct students towards good technique and participate as a partner at various points throughout each lesson. The class begins with a few introductory videos that gives you a feel for what to expect throughout the course and then each lesson functions with a similar routine: Warm-Up, Technique, Character Trait, Review, Game, Fun Exercise, Lesson Review, and Closing. Each lesson does build on the last, but there is quite a bit of repetition, making it difficult to truly be lost no matter where you jump to. Even though this is a Preschool or Early Learner class, they do learn techniques such as Jab, Hook, Upper Cut, Single Leg Takedown, and Sprawl. Once a child has completed the course, they even have the opportunity to submit an Application for Certification and also pursue an Application for Belt Ranking. The steps to do so are all lined out in a file included with the course.

What We Thought:

The kids and I were really excited about this course. Even though it was slated for the 3 year old, the 7 and 10 year old were happy to participate whenever possible. The instructor’s approach is certainly geared toward preschool age children and while it does get a little repetitive, the complicated nature of the subject matter, the instructor’s repetition and clarity helps reinforce the concepts for parents and students. The warm-ups consist of typical exercise warm-ups, which are both healthy and fun for the kids. My 3 year old loved every minute of it, though he still doesn’t quite know his right from left. That’s certainly why parent (or older sibling) involvement is necessary. Has he mastered all of the techniques he’s learned so far? No. Does it matter? Not unless we were trying to receive certification or advancement of some kind. Though the instruction is geared towards a younger audience, the actual instruction has left my older two with a beginning understanding of mixed martial arts techniques and approaches. Parents and children alike, it has been a great opportunity to have fun together.

I was very impressed with this course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an introduction to MMA, especially for kids. Finding another great way to keep kids healthy and active is always a plus in my book! In person courses certainly have their strengths, but if virtual is your reality right now, this digital course is a wonderful way to go for Mixed Martial Arts.
