Grown-Up & Me Program (for Toddlers 2.5-3 years old)
Designed to allow toddlers still in the developmental stage of impulse control to nevertheless deepen the connection between their brains & their bodies while working on gross motor skills like balance, coordination, strength & flexibility.
Wee Kick Program (for Preschoolers 3.5-6 years old)
This experience plants seeds of impulse control thru self-discipline while preparing pre-K & Kindergarten kids for the physicality and structure of more mature martial arts training in a safe and fun environment. It’s the most fun they’ll have while learning about Personal Space & How to Set Boundaries!
Kids Program (for Gradeschoolers 6 years old & up)
Our Kids Program aspires to empower kids with the focus, patience and determination to face many of life’s challenges. Classes are age appropriate and taught from a Child Development perspective, emphasizing Growth Mindset to develop grit and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) so that kids learn to identify and express their emotions and learn to recognize them in others to mitigate conflicts before they escalate. As a result, kids learn to be more responsible with their skills and accountable for how they choose to address conflict. New for 2024, we’ve added classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with a black belt from @deltabjj!

Mission:
A unique empowerment experience for the whole family! The mission of our Kids Program since 1991 remains unchanged: to encourage and motivate kids through martial arts from a Child Development perspective. The goal has been to provide kids at an early age with the necessary tools to help them negotiate the changing social challenges they’ll encounter while trying to find their place in society: Social Skills, Communication Skills, Mindful Self Awareness, Kindness & Empathy, and Self-Regulation Skills, all while nurturing their Self-Esteem through martial arts training.

The program now includes training in Kali (a Filipino Martial Art) and Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Empowerment Self Defense (ESD) with IMPACT Personal Safety, now in its 40th year empowering individuals against violent attacks.
OUR GOAL
The goal of all of our classes, particularly our Kids Programs, is character development forged through adversity in a safe nurturing environment. We strive to maintain our commitment by example from a Child Development perspective. We believe it takes strong individuals working together to build a strong community. It starts with teaching kids how to interact respectfully with one another, to act with kindness, to maximize teachable moments with Social & Emotional Learning and to focus on a Growth Mindset around failure: Roots to Ground and Wings to Fly!
