Warm Up Exercises

To prepare their bodies for physical activity, kids will typically start with a series of warm-up exercises such as jumping jacks, stretches, and running drills. These exercises help to increase flexibility, improve coordination, and reduce the risk of injury.

Martial Arts Techniques

Kids will learn the fundamentals of martial arts such as punches, kicks, and blocks. Instructors may use various teaching methods such as demonstrations, partner drills, and practice on punching bags or pads to help children develop proper form and technique.

Life Skills Development

Beyond physical fitness and self-defense skills, martial arts classes often emphasize the development of important life skills such as discipline, respect for others, goal-setting, teamwork, and leadership. Instructors may incorporate these themes into their lessons through discussions, role-playing activities or games that promote positive behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a beginner's class expectation?

    Beginning a martial arts program can be daunting, but there's nothing to worry about! A beginner's class typically includes an introduction to the basics of the chosen martial art, including basic strikes, blocks, and stances. The focus is on developing fundamental skills that serve as a foundation for future training.

  • Are there any additional fees?

    Absolutely not! No hidden fees – just one straightforward monthly membership fee that unlocks a world of incredible benefits. Our commitment to transparency ensures you can confidently enjoy all the fantastic perks without any unexpected costs. Join our growing community of thrilled members who have already discovered the exceptional value we offer.

  • What is the average class size?

    We maintain an average class size of just 15-20 students at a time in our Kids Martial Arts classes.


    This smaller class size ensures that our dedicated instructors can provide individualized coaching and guidance, helping your child develop and excel in Jiu Jitsu at their own pace. Plus, with a close-knit community of fellow students, they'll enjoy a supportive and engaging learning environment.

  • Is Martial Arts Dangerous?

    Although any sport or activity has some risk involved, our team of certified instructors follow safety protocols to ensure a safe and supportive environment for our students. In fact, unlike sports which has one adult supervising an entire team, we have multiple instructors monitoring a room at all times making sure everything runs smoothly. We understand that each student has their own unique limits and we encourage rest and feedback during exercise.

  • Does my child need to be athletic to do martial arts?

    Our classes are tailored towards accommodating students regardless of their weight, age, abilities, or energy levels. Astonishingly, many of our students have tried sports and other athletic activities only to realize it’s not for them. Martial arts is often a sanctuary in these cases as competition is eliminated and each student only attempts what they feel comfortable doing.

  • Are these classes just for boys or can my daughter do it?

    There are a lot of girls in many of our classes as there are boys. Girls love martial arts just as much, and get the same fulfillment out of it as boys do. Also, girls are just as tough as boys in our classes. Some are even tougher! So you don't have to worry about your little girl getting hurt, or feeling scared because she'll be practicing with boys. In fact, the boys may even be the ones who are scared.
