Nothing develops a strong work ethic and increased attention span like the rigors of martial arts training. Many kids that practice martial arts do better in school and other sports because of its structured training and emphasis on goal setting.
Today’s generation of children spend too much time engaged with electronics. Video games, cell phones, tablets, and TV promote inactive lifestyles, aggressive behavior, and poor social skills.
Our classes help kids channel aggression and high energy levels in a safe, fun, and engaging full body workout.
Our ranking system uses colored belts to signify skill level. This structure teaches your child how to set goals and provides a real sense of accomplishment when they attain a new rank. Climbing through the ranks helps develop self-confidence, discipline, self-esteem, and a sense of direction that will lead to your child becoming motivated and self-directed. We have seen how this drive to succeed can transfer over to almost any area in a child’s life, especially academic performance.
By progressively setting and achieving attainable goals, your child will be surprised by what they can accomplish. This feeds their sense of self-motivation to continue working hard to see what else they are capable of achieving. As their martial arts skills grow and improve, so does their confidence and self-esteem.
Improved confidence helps our students to be more outgoing and willing to participate in academic and social environments.
Both of our kids programs teach students to effectively deal with bullies. We teach simple ways to control and diffuse situations in a peaceful and non-violent manner. Learning to stand up for oneself, effective verbal communication, conflict resolution skills, and the ability to negotiate will follow your child through their teenage years and into adulthood.
This aspect of sports & competition has truly been lost in American culture. Success in mainstream sports can sometimes lead to cocky, arrogant, & disrespectful athletes.
We teach our kids to be humble in victory and to always be respectful to your training partners and opponents alike. Winning isn’t everything. Every day our kids spend on the mats, we stress the importance of learning and improving oneself above all else.
This attitude of respect and honor is vital for children to develop healthy personal relationships and social skills at school, on the mats and at home.
Classes are offered Monday-Thursday all year long. Develop skills that will carry over to any other sport your child plays.
