Children's Program

Martial Arts is Great for Children...

At The Martial Arts Center, we believe in whole body wellness. Our goal is to provide self-defense training and physical conditioning in a focused and disciplined environment. The results are a healthier body, a calmer spirit and a more focused mind.

"More Than a Sport and Just As Fun!"

About Our Classes...

We have separate classes for Dragons (4-6 years old) and Tigers (7-12 years old).
Boys and girls train together in a safe & encouraging atmosphere.
Classes are 45 minutes long, and offer basic to advanced karate, games and friendship.
Every class begins with stretching and warm-ups, followed by the day's lesson and a "game" incorporating the day's lessons.
Your children do not have to have any special skills to excel in our program. The only thing they must have is a sense of fun and a desire to learn really cool moves!

Building Self-Esteem...

Our Reward System is the key to improving self-esteem. As children move up in rank and earn the honor of the next color belt, we celebrate this achievement with a public belt-tying ceremony. Children experience an enormous sense of pride when they are recognized by their peers. They soon realize that achievement feels good!

Improving Confidence...

The physical aspect of karate improves agility, balance, coordination and reflexes, translating into better performance in team sports. It's not unusual for children who are "picked last in school sports" by their fellow students to begin being "picked early". Children also gain a sense of confidence as they become aware of their ability to defend themselves.

Helping with Shyness...

As confidence grows, shyness fades away. As your child advances in rank, he/she will have fellow students asking them how to do certain moves, thus breaking the ice and making it easier to develop friends.

Teaching Respect and Courtesy...

We have a central principle in our teaching called "Karate Ni Sente Nashi." It means, "There is no first attack in karate." Karate is for self-defense only. It is the ultimate sign of respect when a child learns that it is improper to hurt another human being for any reason other than self-defense.

The principles of good manners and courtesy are emphasized throughout a typical class. We require our students to lead by example in the way they act, speak, perform and help. The higher ranks will be asked to assist those who are new in learning their basic techniques. This gives them a sense of responsibility and accountability for their knowledge and actions. Assisting in class is a privilege, which all children desire.
