Our kids learn how to stand up for themselves and protect themselves against bullies, but at the same time we teach them how to use their skills responsibly. Ironically, it normally has a calming effect on children, and parents notice they develop more respectful behavior.

It sounds crazy, but martial arts is actually very safe. While it is a sport and there is always the possibility of an accident, injuries are rare. We place a great deal of emphasis on safety in the classroom. Believe it or not, kids get hurt more outside of class doing "regular kid stuff" than in our school.

Kids mature differently physically and mentally so while some kids are ready to jump right in, others need a little more time to get started. And that's perfectly normal. We have a 2 class trial program for beginners which is the best way for us to evaluate if your child is ready to start and if our program is a good fit for your family.

Martial arts can have an amazing impact on your child in a variety of ways. Of course we will teach them to protect themselves and you will have peace of mind knowing that they can handle themselves when you are not around.

These physical attributes along with the leadership traits they begin to develop also help them if they do other sports later on.  We have several kids who never did any sports before martial arts who went on to be captains of their teams in other sports and academic stand-outs when they got into high school. Martial arts was the foundation that got them there
