What age groups can join your martial arts classes?

We have programs for children as young as 5 years old . Our Little Dragons program is designed specifically for ages 5 and 6, while our regular Family-Style classes are open to ages 7 and up. In these classes, adults are welcome (and encouraged!) to train alongside their children!

What is the “Little Dragons” program, and who is it for?

The Little Dragons program is tailored for children ages 5 and 6. It focuses on building foundational skills like balance, coordination, focus, and discipline in a fun and engaging environment. It’s the perfect introduction to martial arts for younger children.

What are “Family-Style” classes, and how do they work?

Our Family-Style classes are unique in that they allow parents and kids (ages 7 and up) to train together in the same class. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, our instructors adjust the curriculum and exercises to meet everyone’s needs, making it a fantastic way to bond as a family while learning martial arts.

How can martial arts help prevent my child from being bullied?

Martial arts teaches children confidence, self-respect, and effective communication skills. When kids feel empowered and confident, they’re less likely to become targets for bullying. We give students the tools they need to stand up for themselves and get home safely.

What if I’m worried about my child becoming a bully?

Our program emphasizes leadership skills, respect, discipline, and empathy. Students learn that martial arts is about self-control and helping others, not using their skills to hurt anyone. We reinforce these values in every class to ensure your child becomes a positive influence on others.

What safety measures do you take during training?

Safety is our top priority. All coaches are background-checked and drug-tested , and our training environment is designed to be fun, safe, and supportive. Protective gear is used, and all techniques are taught progressively to ensure proper form and minimize risk.

Do you allow parents to observe classes?

Absolutely! We encourage parents to stay and watch their child’s progress. Hang out in our giant lobby, or better yet, you can even join the class alongside your child if they’re 7 or older—it’s one of the few activities families can do together!

What styles of martial arts do you teach?

Our program is focused on a blend of martial arts that emphasizes simple and effective self-defense techniques . This includes kickboxing, military-grade self-defense, and additional training in weapons like double nunchucks, kali, and bo staff. Our goal is to provide practical skills for real-world situations.

How does your curriculum focus on self-defense?

We teach techniques that are practical, simple, and effective, making them useful for real-life situations. Students learn to protect themselves with strategies for de-escalating conflicts, avoiding danger, and defending against physical threats. Safety and confidence are always at the forefront of our training.

Do you offer classes for beginners as well as advanced students?

Yes! We have classes for brand-new students as well as those with beginner, intermediate, and advanced experience. Our instructors ensure everyone progresses at their own pace, so you’ll feel comfortable and challenged, no matter your skill level.

How does martial arts promote confidence, focus, and discipline?

Martial arts helps students set and achieve goals, which builds their self-confidence. Our structured classes teach focus and the importance of staying disciplined to master techniques. These life skills translate beyond the mat, helping kids excel at school, at home, and in their future.

What are the benefits of training as a family?

Training together strengthens family bonds while promoting fitness and teamwork. It’s a rare opportunity for parents and kids (ages 7 and up) to share a common activity, work towards goals, and support each other in a fun and dynamic environment. It’s an awesome opportunity for parents to lead by example! Plus, families get to spend quality time together while having fun and learning self-defense!
