It's Time To Consider Enrolling Your Child In An After School Activity!

Keeping kids entertained after school is no easy task, especially if you’re busy with work and other duties that demand your attention. Luckily, after school activities offer a concrete solution as kids receive the support, mental stimulation, and social interaction they need to flourish.

Perhaps even more essential is the role after school activities play in bringing kids together. These activities force children to put down the electronics and remain in the present as they focus on the experience and connect with other children. This connection often leads to lasting friendships and powerful memories as they bond over the activity and enjoy their time together. These are the experiences that often impact kids the most as they grow older.

Do Your Afternoons Look Something Like This…

Scheduling Stress

You relentlessly battle late coworkers, crazy road conditions, accidents, and unforgiving afternoon traffic to make it home from work early and ensure your child is supervised.

Too Sedentary

You’re forced to watch helplessly as your kid stays inside, plops down on the couch, and becomes glued to the TV, phone, or computer regardless of the beautiful weather outside.

No Activities

You have a sitter, family member, or neighbor watch the kids but can’t help but wonder what the kids are up to.

Difficult Plans

You‘re constantly rearranging or canceling plans with friends as getting the kids out of the house has become a challenge.

Let’s Get Children Off The Couch And Out Of The House

In today‘s digital society, it’s nearly impossible to convince kids to put down their favorite devices and enjoy the world around them.

Although understanding technology is essential in our modern, connected society, cell phone addiction is a real danger to children and can get in the way of healthy social interaction and communication skills.

With statistics showing that 86% of people will interrupt a conversation to check their phone, something must be done to ensure better communication habits for our children.

We prioritize the value of enjoying the present moment and design our classes to encourage social interaction, teamwork, and the importance of having FUN with friends.

More Than Just Martial Arts

Discover the Transformative Powers Martial Arts has on Children!

Develops Character and Humanity

We all want our kids to change the world and make an impact on future generations. Through a focus on aiming for and achieving goals, we teach kids to shoot for the stars and incrementally chase goals step-by-step. All while instilling values such as love, empathy, respect, humility, and discipline.

Encourages Teamwork and Socialization

Nothing unites kids better than sharing a common interest. We teach children to work together to better each other and accomplish great things. Bullying or competition in any form is frowned upon and each child learns to embrace each other’s differences.

Rewards Unbelievable Listening Skills

By learning the value of respect and humility, kids learn to listen attentively to others. It starts with an eagerness to learn all the cool moves and “tricks” they see their friends doing but once they realize what they can accomplish by simply paying attention they begin listening in other areas of life as well.

FAQs

Is Martial Arts Dangerous?

Although any sport or activity has some risk involved, our team of certified instructors follow safety protocols to ensure a safe and supportive environment for our students. In fact, unlike sports which has one adult supervising an entire team, we have multiple instructors monitoring a room at all times making sure everything runs smoothly. We understand that each student has their own unique limits and we encourage rest and feedback during exercise.
Is Martial Arts Violent?

Martial Arts is often depicted as a violent activity but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The mindset behind martial arts involves harmony, peace, tranquility, and connection to the body. The majority of training focuses around movement and energy. We teach kids how to talk through conflicts and seek the guidance of an adult with the authority to help. However, if an unavoidable violent situation arises in your child’s life, they now have the tools to fend off the attack and safely escape the situation.
Does my child need to be athletic to benefit from martial arts?

Our classes are tailored towards accommodating students regardless of their weight, age, abilities, or energy levels. Astonishingly, many of our students have tried sports and other athletic activities only to realize it’s not for them. Martial arts is often a sanctuary in these cases as competition is eliminated and each student only attempts what they feel comfortable doing.

How can Martial Arts prepare my child for life?

Other than training children in conflict resolution and self defense, martial arts also instills essential life skills like discipline, honor, confidence, and respect. The process of goal setting and working towards moving forward is extremely rewarding and causes a major shift in maturity.
What if my child doesn’t like it?

With any new activity, it’s common to face some resistance in the beginning. We make great efforts to keep classes fun and lighthearted but at the end of the day it’s also an educational experience. We encourage parents to give us a few sessions to get through to new students but in the event your child wants to cancel, we offer a full money back guarantee.
