Cosens Martial Arts is more than just a place to learn self-defense; it's a community where children develop essential life skills, build confidence, and grow into well-rounded individuals. Whether you’re looking for confidence, fitness, or self-defense - there’s no better way to see what we’re all about than to experience a class for yourself.
Here’s a detailed look at what makes Cosens Martial Arts stand out.
Comprehensive Development
This martial arts studio provides more than self defense for your child. Their instructors and methods help develop these children into more well rounded individuals with the confidence to try new things and step outside their comfort zone. Many of his lessons apply to home life outside of the classroom which help build good values and confidence.
Life Skills Emphasis
Every lesson is tied into a valuable life skill like respect or self-discipline. While we like the physical skills he is learning, we love the focus and emphasis on life skills such as respect, kindness, hard-work and responsibility. This helps him in at school, and is a big motivator for doing chores at home. Goal orientation, focus, and other life skills are incorporated to each class.
My daughers (11 yrs and 8 yrs) have been attending Cosens MMA in Bay City for just over a year and we are so happy with their life skills based program. We really appreciate the time the coaches take to check in with their students and to teach life skills like commitment, perserverance, respect and responsibility.

Confidence Building
The improvement she has made, in her self confidence, is just amazing. What makes Cosens MMA better than your average martial arts school is seeing how the kids blossom into confident, strong, and determined leaders. We have seen a tremendous improvement in our daughter's confidence. It has been great watching my son grow to be a more confident child!
My daughter is more confident and motivated since she started. We have been sending our son for nearly a year. The coaches have gone out of their way to truly make us feel like family, and we have seen tremendous growth within our son and his confidence.
Dedicated and Supportive Coaches
The coaches at Cosens Martial Arts are frequently praised for their patience, dedication, and ability to connect with students. Coach Spy does an awesome job with being patient and understanding. The coaches are so dedicated and there's a great family vibe here.
Coach Spy is always willing to listen and help in anyway he can for the families that attend his school. Coach Shumaker is great with the kids and very knowledgeable about MMA. The coaches are just phenomenal and so patient with the kiddos.
In his eyes, his karate coaches are celebrities and he respects them, but also doesn't want to let them down. The coaches are extraordinary, they have an amazing rapport with the kids and do such a great job keeping them engaged in class.

Personalized Attention
The children are given lessons on subjects like respect and self-discipline during each session and are given individual attention when necessary without making them feel embarrassed or singled out. The coaches take an interest in each student personally, they know what is going on in their lives and they notice when the kids are struggling. So taking the extra time outside of class, is really appreciated by me and says so much more for the company in my opinion.
Positive Environment
Cosens MMA fosters a safe, encouraging, and judgment-free environment for students of all ages and skill levels. It is also a safe judgement free environment. They create a positive environment that pushes me to be my best while also building my confidence as a martial artist. It is great for them to have a safe and welcoming place to make new friends outside of school.
Coach Brewer has always been super understanding about life circumstances too, which has taken stress off of my shoulders. The classes are fun and the ENTIRE team is amazing!
What are the Benefits of Martial Arts for Children
Specific Program Highlights
Cosens MMA offers a range of programs tailored to different age groups and skill levels.
Little Ninjas Program
The Tiny Ninjas and Little Ninja classes are great tools to achieve our parenting goals. We brought Anderson to the Little Ninja’s class a little over a year ago. He was lacking in self confidence and controlling his emotions. Our daughter has been a little ninja for just about a year, and our experience has been amazing.

Children's Classes
I have one little ninja and 2 in the children's class. My 3 kids have been going for 2 weeks now and I feel the coaches are very supportive and helpful with both students and parents.
Adult Classes
I’ve been a student for around 6 months now in the adult classes. Black belt training is really convenient and it’s fun to spar at your own paste.
Tangible Results
Parents and students report significant improvements in various aspects of life, including focus, coordination, and emotional control. My son deals with really bad ADHD, and keeping him engaged can at times be difficult. They teach great life skills also which help them in all aspects of life.
Since joining Cosen's, she has gained focus, self esteem, and self control. After 6 short months of our daughter attending MMA at Cosens, we have seen quick benefits and results. Also, the work on focus has been great both in and out of class.
Here's a summary of the benefits observed by parents:
| Benefit | Description |
