How Many Times a Week Should My Child Train in Martial Arts?
If your child has just started martial arts, you may be wondering: “How often should they train each week?”
At Absolute Martial Arts, we recommend a minimum of two classes per week. This is the perfect balance — enough training for children to build skills and confidence without overwhelming them or clashing with school and family life.
Why Two Classes Per Week Works Best
• Consistency builds skill – Kids remember techniques and improve faster with regular practice.
• Confidence grows quicker – Children feel proud when they notice steady progress.
• Healthy routine – Two sessions each week create structure and keep martial arts fun and exciting.
Can Kids Train More Often?
Yes! Many children love martial arts so much that they choose our unlimited training option, which allows them to attend 3 or more times a week. Extra training can help with:
• Stronger technical ability
• Better fitness and stamina
• Faster belt progression and leadership skills
