About Us: Indie Martial Arts, Littleton

a black and white drawing of a pencil with a circle around it .

At Indie Martial Arts, our mission is simple: to change lives one person at a time through martial arts, education, and coaching. We believe in the power of discipline, community, and growth—whether you’re a preschooler in your first class or a parent training alongside your child. We stand for respect in every direction, personal growth that extends beyond the mat, and the belief that every student—no matter their age or experience—can level up and thrive. At the same time, we stand firmly against toxic competition, one-size-fits-all training, and any environment that doesn’t feel safe, positive, and empowering.


One of our favorite guiding principles is: “You don’t have to be the strongest in the room—just the one who shows up and refuses to quit.” This mindset fuels everything we do, from the way we teach to how we connect with our students. Whether you're here to build confidence, learn self-defense, or simply find a fun, supportive space for your family, we’d love to welcome you in. Come try a class for free and see why so many families call Indie Martial Arts their second home.

Increased Mental Clarity

Focused drills and structured routines help sharpen the mind and improve decision-making. Students develop stronger concentration, better discipline, and a clear sense of personal direction.

Every punch, kick, and workout helps release tension and refocus energy in a positive way. Our classes provide a mental reset—whether you're a high-energy kid or a busy adult.

Improved Physical Fitness

From Lil Ninjas to adult kickboxers, our students build strength, agility, balance, and endurance in every class. It’s a fun, dynamic way to stay active without ever feeling like a chore.

“Real strength isn’t about power—it’s about showing up, staying committed, and lifting others as you grow.”

Rooted in Respect, Built on Belief


At Indie Martial Arts, every lesson begins with respect—for ourselves, our teammates, and our journey. We believe martial arts should grow character as much as it builds skill. Students are taught that success isn’t about being the best—it’s about becoming your best. That mindset creates a space where effort is celebrated, mistakes are welcomed, and personal progress is the true measure of growth.

A Culture That Lifts Everyone


We’ve built more than a school—we’ve built a community where everyone belongs. Whether you’re a beginner or a black belt, you’ll be supported, seen, and encouraged every step of the way. We actively stand against comparison, pressure, or negativity; instead, we champion kindness, connection, and collective wins. It’s not just about martial arts—it’s about who you become because of it.

Lil Ninjas – Big Energy, Little Warriors

Our Lil Ninjas program is the perfect starting point for kids ages 4–6 to build confidence, focus, and motor skills in a fun and structured way. Each class is packed with movement, games, and martial arts basics designed to hold attention while teaching respect and discipline. It’s more than just kicks and punches—it’s a foundation for success in school and life. Your little one will leave each class proud, empowered, and excited to come back.

Kids Martial Arts – Confidence Starts Here

This program helps kids ages 6+ develop self-defense skills, emotional control, and the mindset of a leader. Our structured belt system keeps them motivated and goal-oriented while they learn at their own pace. Classes are built to be fun yet focused, helping children grow strong in both body and character. It’s not just about martial arts—it’s about helping kids believe in themselves.

Family Martial Arts – Train Together, Grow Together

Designed for parents and kids to learn side-by-side, our Family Martial Arts classes strengthen more than just muscles—they strengthen bonds. In every session, families punch, kick, and support one another in a shared experience that promotes fitness, communication, and fun. It’s a unique way to build trust, encourage teamwork, and create memories that last a lifetime. Whether you're starting together or leveling up together, every moment counts.

Teen & Adult Kickboxing – Power, Purpose, and Progress

Get fit, relieve stress, and learn real-world striking techniques in our high-energy kickboxing program. Led by champion coaches, these classes are designed to push limits while providing expert instruction in technique, conditioning, and mental toughness. It’s the ideal outlet for teens needing confidence or adults seeking motivation. Whether your goal is weight loss, strength, or simply showing up for yourself—you’ll find your power here.

Birthday Parties – Unforgettable Fun, Martial Arts Style

Turn your child’s special day into a high-energy martial arts adventure! Our birthday parties combine excitement, discipline, and fun with safe, instructor-led activities that every guest will love. We handle all the setup and cleanup so parents can relax while kids break boards and break out their ninja skills. It’s the easiest party you’ll ever throw—and one your child will never forget.
