What will your child do?
This 60 minute mixed martial arts class for ages 7 - 11 is comprised of 5 components:

The first component is FUN! Kids learn best when they’re having fun and are fully engaged. FUN is the main component that we incorporate into the program. While we take the traditional parts of the class very seriously and treat them with the respect they deserve, the class is just simply fun!

The second component is STYLE. At the core of this class is the more traditional aspect of performing Katas or forms (choreographed patterns of movements done solo which can be practiced at home). The purpose of this is to teach the body to easily transition from one move to the next while providing a vehicle to learn to properly execute the blocks and counter strikes. We also do choreographed sparing using sequences of blocks and strikes in partnership drills with up to four attackers.

The third component is SELF DEFENSE which features a variety of self defense techniques to defend against the most common attacks. These defenses are based on the body’s natural reactions which make them quick and easy to learn. This class covers techniques for the ground as well as standing and they are all based on getting out of a potentially dangerous situation as safely and quickly as possible before it escalates.

The fourth component is the learning of BASIC COMBATIVES such as straight punches, hook punches, front kicks, back kicks, side kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, etc. done on pads and kick-bags to fast paced high energy music. This teaches the student how to deliver the most efficient strike with the least amount of effort. We also set up obstacle courses to help build coordination and fast reflexes.

The FIFTH and most important component is learning the discipline and responsibility that goes along with have these skills. We teach a word of the month such as discipline, respect, responsibility, honor, integrity and other martial arts concepts. We also encourage and require that students conduct themselves accordingly outside our training center (at home and at school).

What will your child gain?
In addition to learning how to defend themselves and avoid dangerous situations our kids program will help improve and maintain cardiovascular fitness, increase strength and flexibility, and challenge reflexes and coordination.

How do we handle varying skill levels?
As students progress through the various belt levels, the classes will contain students from white belt up. While many of the techniques can be done together as a whole, we will break off into groups by rank so each student gets attention on the techniques he or she needs to progress to the next level. This method has worked great for a few hundred years so we still do it today.

What will your child need for the class?
Students must wear a white Gi (training uniform) and rank belt to each class. If you have a plain white Gi from a different style of martial art, our staff can help determine if it is suitable for our classes. Your Gi must have our school patch on the chest. If you need to purchase a Gi and/or patch, visit our pro shop. Our knowledgeable staff can help you get the right size.
