Keep Your Child Active with the Best Martial Arts in Alton and Wood River

At Yi’s Martial Arts Fitness Academy, we believe every child deserves a safe, encouraging space to grow—not only in martial arts, but in life. That’s why our Kids Martial Arts programs are specially designed for two important age groups:

Tiny Tigers (Ages 3–5): An introduction to martial arts through fun, high-energy activities that build focus, coordination, and resilience. Pre-K kids learn physical skills like jumping and rolling while enhancing their balance and gross motor skills.

Lil Dragons Skillz (Ages 5–7): A dynamic program combining martial arts training with lessons in discipline, respect, and teamwork, perfect for laying a strong foundation for future success. This program is great for kids with little experience with physical activity or with ADHD!

My daughter Jayda has been at Yi’s Martial Arts for 2 years and has grown immensely in that time frame. She went from being short tempered to having a lot of self control. She strives to be more organized in her personal life. She is a lot more disciplined, and understands that there are always consequences for her actions, whether they are good or bad. I highly recommend. Yi’s Martial Arts whether you are needing help with self-control, discipline, self-defense, or even fitness.

My son started at Yi's about 5 weeks ago and what a transformation! He is more confident and determined. He went from not trying if it was too hard to putting so much effort into things that are difficult for him that he wants to do. The instructor is firm and caring and really inspires the kids to work hard! I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested in doing martial arts.

The coed classes are perfect for boy girl twins or children close in age and it's always after work hours. Master Chris the lead instructor is fantastic, and works with all the kids, including those that might have some kind of a attention challenge.
