Martial Arts Program For Kids

Our martial arts for kids programs were designed to work around the different stages of child development. This allows children’s progress in martial arts to coincide with their physical, intellectual, and emotional development.

Our programs cover the basics of martial arts and are presented in a way that is always fresh, fun, and challenging. In every class, we consistently cover many ideas and themes that target manners, respect for others, handling bully situations, and safety around strangers.

One of our crucial ongoing focuses in all our children’s martial arts classes developing skills in the areas of child abduction attempts, stranger danger and how to get help when lost. Children are constantly drilled on concepts like YELL-HIT-RUN to be used in child abduction attempts. This puts the power in the hands of children to do something when it counts at the start of an abduction attempt, immediately attracting attention and fighting to release and sprinting from danger to get help. These skills can become rehearsed enough so they are a natural reaction in a situation like child abduction situations.
