Martial Arts Classes for Children
We offer a unique program for kids ages 4 to 8. It’s almost like a pre-school class for martial arts students. They are taught the same techniques as the older students, but with smaller and easier to achieve goals to encourage and reward their hard work.
We have a really high instructor to student ratio to ensure that every child succeeds. If a students need special attention or help we have plenty of instructors in the class to assist them and ensure their success. We have as many as 6 instructors in our children classes while keeping the size of the class down to 12 or less.
We offer several different class times and days that students can attend classes to accommodate a variety of schedule. For consistency sake for the instructors and so the students can develop friends we ask that you stay with the class time and class day unless your schedule changes. If your schedule changes, we are happy to let you choose a different class time/day out of several available class times/days.
For children ages 8 to 12 our martial arts program focuses on perfecting and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques. This helps them understand that martial arts is a game of strategy, much like chess. They are taught that it is better to know when to apply certain techniques in a self-defense situation rather than randomly applying the techniques that they learned.
Martial arts can be great physical education for homeschooled kids. Even better: we work with the local school districts and have been able to provide classes for homeschooled students at no cost to them.
We teach our beginning kids ages 8 years old and lower mostly Taekwondo (Korean Karate) and expand their self-defense repertoire as they get more experience so it’s not too much to learn at once. For children that are older than 8 years old we incorporate more Judo and Hapkido along with Taekwondo at the start of their training and continue to increase their experience as they progress in rank.
See the table below to find a list of introductory classes for kids.
