FAQS
Yup. Young martial artists learn the importance of emotional control, respect for others, and for
boundaries. These lessons will help them in the classroom, too.
Yes! Our classes are designed to teach kids in a collaborative setting, with an emphasis on taking
turns, cooperation, and teamwork.
Definitely. Martial arts is a mindfulness practice at heart. Our students must focus to succeed in
drills, forms, and partner games. Once they do it at the dojo, they’ll do the same at school.
For sure. Our kids martial arts classes focus on hand-eye coordination, self-control, and overall
physical fitness. As kids learn to focus and follow instructions, they learn how to control their
bodies and gain coordination.
It’s common for young kids to become easily frustrated with complex tasks or extended attention.
Using fun games and positive reinforcement, kids learn to try, fail, and try again. We teach them
that practice is the most important thing – and that persistence is rewarded through our belt
system.
Young kids are constantly testing their boundaries, and that includes saying and doing things
designed to provoke a reaction from adults. At the dojo, students must respect the boundaries
that are put in place by instructors for their own safety, and consequences are clear and
immediate when they don’t. Our instructors will partner with you to ensure that your child is
performing in the same way at home.
BUT WAIT - IT’S EVEN COOLER THAN THAT!
- Kids learn to listen respectfully without interruption.
- Kids learn from their mistakes without the stigma of failure
- Kids learn self-discipline as they achieve clearly-defined goals
- Kids build strength, balance, endurance, and physical coordination.
