Their first steps to greatness.
A parent-and-me toddler martial arts class for ages 18 months to 2 years: balance, coordination, listening, and their very first kicks, learned right beside you on the mat at our award-winning Dunellen studio.
The Mighty Warriors program at Dunellen is built for toddlers ages 18 months to 2 years: the very first step into martial arts. In a safe, nurturing space, your little one develops balance, coordination, and listening skills while having a blast, with you right beside them on the mat.
This is real martial arts, sized for the smallest Warriors. Every song and game is wrapped around a punch, kick, block, stance, or bow, so your child genuinely starts their journey while you build the bond and the memories together.
Book Your Free Intro →The skills your child builds in Mighty Warriors are the foundation they carry into preschool, friendships, and every program that follows.
Gross motor skills and balance built through guided play: every drill carries a punch, kick, block, stance, or bow.
First-ever "eyes on coach" moments. Following simple directions in a group, one joyful rep at a time.
Little wins on the mat (a high-five, a first bow, a board tap) that toddlers carry into everything else.
A parent right beside them on the mat. Shared movement that strengthens the bond and the smiles.
Structured play with a purpose. Here's how a Mighty Warriors class runs at Dunellen.
Bows, names, and a warm hello. Toddlers and parents settle in together so the mat feels safe from minute one.
Songs, animal walks, and guided games, each one wrapped around a real punch, kick, block, or stance.
A coach helps your little one throw their very first kick or strike, with you right there cheering them on.
A celebration of effort: stamps, stars, and a "see you next time" that has them asking to come back.
Mighty Warriors (ages 18 months to 2 years) classes run throughout the week at our Dunellen studio. Pick the day that fits your family. We'll match your child's first free intro to the right slot.

I spent about a year deciding whether to sign my 6-year-old up. WMA exceeded expectations! The coaches are amazing, and this is the one activity my son looks forward to every week. I regret not joining sooner!

We signed up our 3-year-old granddaughter. After a rough start, Coach Byron worked one-on-one with her, building her confidence. She now looks forward to class every week!

My son was quite shy and lacked confidence. Since joining he's undergone a positive transformation — he now exudes confidence and handles situations with resilience.

Mighty Warriors is our parent-and-me toddler class for children 18 months to 2 years old. A parent stays on the mat for the whole class. It is the gentlest possible first step into martial arts and the Warrior family.
Yes. Mighty Warriors is parent-and-me by design: you move right alongside your child for the full 45 minutes. That closeness is exactly what helps a toddler feel safe enough to try their first kick, bow, and high-five.
Your free intro at Dunellen is a private, welcoming first class: a studio tour, a real Mighty Warriors session adapted just for your little one, and an honest conversation about whether it is the right fit for your family. All equipment is provided.
It is. Every game and song is built around a real martial arts movement: a punch, a kick, a block, a stance, or a bow. We wrap the technique inside play so toddlers build coordination and listening while genuinely starting their martial arts journey.
Our coaches all have 10+ years on the mat (real career coaches who know your child by name), we coach by spotlighting what children do right (never by calling out mistakes), and BusinessRate ranked us #1 martial arts school in South Plainfield and #1 in Middlesex County in June 2026, based on Google reviews.
