If possible have separate children and adult groups. Furthermore divide your children´s classes in at least 2 age groups, from very young (5-8)to young (9-12), preteeens can workout with adults. Finally if it´s martial arts you are trying to infuse don´t be afraid to enforce disciplinary measures to single out rowdy students. Calling someone's attention in front of the whole group works well, expelling someone out of class works well to. Note: I've never had to discipline a student in our children´s classes, the measures I mentioned have been used sucessfully in our adult´s classes!
