Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Martial Arts Programs

Our students – young and old – learn when to use their new self defense skills, and when NOT to use those skills!

This means that you will develop the confidence to deal with bullies, along with the kindness and humility.

We encourage parents to watch their children in their lessons.  We love parents getting involved and so do your kids.  Even better… join into some of our adult classes.  Your kids will love that you have something in common, therefore, it will build a strong family bond!
