Welcome to the Exciting World of Martial Arts!

From our pre-school programs to our martial arts fitness programs, our instructors are dedicated to helping you and/or your family achieve your individual goals.

Why are Martial Arts so Popular?

Martial arts are so popular because no other activity can provide the same results as martial arts for each individual participant. Whether your goals are self-confidence, self-defense, personal development, fitness, flexibility, or to earn a black belt, our school will take you there.

Martial Arts are Great for Children

Parents today are recognizing that the public school system is not enough. Millions of parents are bringing martial arts, as we teach here, into their children’s lives to supplement their education.

Carleton University, in a study reported in Psychology Today (January 1985), found that children in martial arts have a lower level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of self-esteem; a higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be radical.

Parents report these five important benefits their children in our school experience:

  1. Our reward system improves children’s self-esteem
    Martial arts are not like team sports because the emphasis is on developing the individual’s self-esteem, not the team’s winning record. The belt system is key. When kids earn their belts, it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.

  2. Our program teaches children discipline
    One of the things parents appreciate most about our classes is the improvement in their child’s self-discipline. We have a wonderful staff of patient instructors who love to work with children but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.

  3. Our activities channel children’s aggression
    Many doctors actually prescribe our school for treatment because of the positive outlet it gives kids for all their energy.

  4. Our confidence classes enhance children’s self-esteem
    We believe confidence is one of the most important things we can give kids. That’s why every class we teach has confidence-building drills included.

  5. Our program teaches children essential self-defense skills
    Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home and try them on their sister or neighbor.

Martial Arts is a Fun, Fulfilling Workout for Adults

Our adult students really appreciate the differences between martial arts training and standard exercise programs.

  1. Our workouts are a great way to get in shape
    Martial arts is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape.

  2. Our classes relieve stress
    Martial arts are well known for their stress-relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard health club-type exercise programs.

  3. Our classroom practice sessions give you confidence
    I think the confidence-building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself if you have to.

  4. What we teach you could save your life
    At our school, everything we teach is reality-based. Our instructors work very hard to ensure that most any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared.

  5. Our program is a lot of fun
    The reason our program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago that if people are having fun, they learn much faster.

Our Programs

We have a number of different programs to offer even the busiest students. From our martial arts for children and pre-school classes to our martial arts fitness and black belt programs, we have a program for everyone.

Our Instructors

Rather than tell you about our championships and black belt rankings, we prefer to focus on our students. Certainly, we’re proud of our instructor’s accomplishments, but we’re more proud of the achievements of our students. Our instructors understand that the student’s individual progress is the most important focus of their attention. That’s why our instructors continue to be students themselves. They take classes, attend seminars, and continually work to improve their ability to help our students reach their goals.

Our Commitment to You

We’re so confident in our program that we offer a money-back guarantee. If, within your first 30 days, you don’t feel you are getting the benefits you desire from our school, we will refund your money. Try getting that from the gym.
