Our nationally recognized Junior program has helped thousands of children reach their full potential. Using innovative methods and just the right amount of fun, we teach our young students life skills and physical skills that will benefit them now and as they grow into adults. We emphasize non-violent conflict resolution and teach children to recognize and avoid lures and threats. But for those rare instances where they may need to defend themselves, our curriculum combines the most practical and effective self defense techniques from a variety of martial arts disciplines. While we emphasize character development, our curriculum is designed to ensure that children are prepared, mentally and physically, to neutralize physical threats.

Working with child development specialists and experts in child education, our teaching methods have been designed to ensure that children learn quickly and retain what they learn. We understand that younger students have a shorter attention span. Our methods help children explore and understand conflict through role-play and other exercises.

Working with child development specialists and experts in child education, our teaching methods have been designed to ensure that children learn quickly and retain what they learn. During our classes, we include small group activities, role playing, and other exercises.

And finally, we recognize that in pre-teen years, peers become more and more influential. As a result of our emphasis on character development, parents regularly tell us that the children in our program are the kind of kids they want their kids to have as friends.

  During the teenage years, your children will be subjected to a wide range of influences, not all of them good. And as they grow through their teen years, the difference between good decisions and bad ones takes on much greater significance. In today’s world, with teenagers encountering life’s crossroads daily,   it’s vital that they have positive peer relationships and positive role models in addition to you and their classroom teachers.

  For these reasons, teens in our program generally have the option to train in a teen only class or in our adult classes. Surrounded by other teens with positive values and adults with real life experience, they come to learn how focus, respect, and self-discipline give them a huge advantage in life. With the intense competition for college acceptance and the best jobs just around the corner, teens in our program are well prepared to take on the challenge.

  Teens are treated like adults and expected to behave with maturity and professionalism. But this is not to say that classes aren’t fun. Teens are highly encouraged to enjoy their training. Getting a great workout, advancing though ranks, and having a lot of fun in the process is a great release from the stresses of school and teenage life. Instructors balance serious training with a lighthearted side - Our teens enjoy themselves when they’re here and they look forward to returning when they’re at home or at school.
