FAQ

The most frequently asked questions and answers.

HOW OLD DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO BE TO START MARTIAL ARTS?

The great thing about our program is that the earlier you get started, the better your long-term results!

We have children in our programs that started as early as 3 or 4 years old, but since children develop at different rates, the best (and really, ONLY) way to see if your child is ready for our program is to take advantage of one of our WEB SPECIALS and try it for yourself!
WILL MARTIAL ARTS MAKE MY CHILD OVERLY AGGRESSIVE?

No. In fact, quite the opposite!

Children are exposed to HUGE amounts of simulated and real violence on video games, television, movies, the internet, and other media outlets.

But in our unique program, we teach students real, practical, and effective violent conflict resolution techniques and tactics that can defuse the situation before it escalates to violence. We also teach escape techniques and tactics that even “smaller” people can use to move to safety if approached by a potentially dangerous situation.

Should your child be confronted with an aggressive situation that can’t be resolved peacefully or escaped from, he or she will also possess the basic martial arts skills to defend themselves.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS?

There are so many!

Martial arts students benefit from increased physical fitness and mental focus.

The focus on self-discipline, respect, self-confidence, and perseverance in the face of setbacks builds character in students young and old. Our students also join a community of people who share an interest in martial arts, improve their own way of life, and make a positive contribution to the community.

HOW MANY CLASSES DO I NEED TO ATTEND?

We know how busy your life is as a parent, so our program is designed so that students can make exciting progress by attending classes an average of twice a week.

Some students will want to attend more classes, and that’s great—we have options for that!
IF I'M NOT SURE THE PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR MY CHILD, HOW WOULD I FIND OUT?

Really, the only way to know if our program is a good fit for you and your family is to try it for yourself!

We have some GREAT WEB SPECIALS, so you can try the program with no strings attached and see for yourself how the program will benefit you or your child.
DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE TO START LESSONS?

One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual and will progress at their own rate.

Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance!

So, even students who aren’t as physically fit as the star quarterback of the football team can have a wonderful experience in our program and become stronger, fitter, and more flexible.
