Martial Arts Begins With Respect
Our Karate Kids Program is based on the core values of Martial Arts training. "Martial Arts Begins With Respect." From this basic premise, we develop your child's awareness and skills in three primary areas: Respect, Discipline and Self Control. Our core curriculum includes hi-energy drills and skills designed to build and condition each child's attitude, behavior and overall character development. Karate training helps children and young adults develop greater self-control and self-discipline in everything they do. Our training instills confidence through positive coaching, lot's of encouragement and a powerful mentoring relationship with role model leaders. We also teach valuable life skills that focus on Goal-Setting, positive attitude, relationship building, communication skills and leadership.
We provide age specific Kenpo Karate classes in order to instill core values at your child's own pace. All classes are group classes but your child's development and progress is an individual task and responsibility.
Little Lions & Tiny Tigers
(Ages 4 - 7 years old)
LITTLE LIONS & TINY TIGERS program has been designed specifically for the little ones. Utilizing American Kenpo as the foundation of the karate courses with a huge concentration in fun games makes this program effective and entertaining.
Many Kenpo schools do not teach the little ones the American Kenpo curriculum because of it's complicated techniques and forms. At Academy of Martial Arts we do teach them the actual techniques; we teach between 4 - 6 of the 24 required techniques of each rank level. Our purpose in mind is to facilitate the students transition from LITTLE LIONS & TINY TIGERS to the next level, the KID DRAGONS.
LITTLE LIONS & TINY TIGER's classes are a jam-packed 45-60 minutes of excitement! Our program is intelligently divided to maximize the child's attention span. First 10-15 minutes are an intensive stretching and aerobics workout. Then we utilize 15-30 minutes to teach the American Kenpo concepts and lastly we reward them with 10-15 minutes of specially thought-out games with emphasis on balance, coordination, teamwork; at the same time enhancing their motor skills.
Kid Dragons & Junior Leaders
(Ages 8 - 13 years old)
KID DRAGONS & JR LEADERS is our group of growing children and teens. In this group we focus ourselves in discipline and teamwork. We intend to foster and enhance their confidence utilizing the full American Kenpo system which will develop the "Yes I Can!" attitude.
Expect your child to improve his/her strength, balance, coordination, focus, concentration, determination, self-confidence, ideals and much more.
Don't take our word for it, come and try it for yourself.
