Martial Arts in Adolescence

There is more pressure on our kids than ever during the time of adolescence. Cyber-bullying, physical bullying, and peer pressure are far too common in our society today. Being martial artists, our students are very unique individuals within their own group of friends. They are confident and know when to walk away. They learn that words are not a just cause for anyone to experience physical harm. They are more resilient than the average kid and they stand up for what is right.  

Exercise is fun!

We start our classes with dynamic warm-ups consisting of movements, stretching, and foot work drills. We often break from drilling technique and play games designed to get kids comfortable with the techniques learned during class. This gets our students moving and having fun without worrying about their performance. We've found this to be a great way to build self confidence in kids that are a bit more shy. Plus, everyone gets in a dose of exercise, including the coaches!

What should I bring to class?
