Self-Defense, Fitness
and Life Skills for Children!
Convenient Training Time For Parents!
Train As A Family Or Drop Your Children Off!
The Family
Mixed Martial Arts Program provides similar training as our adult MMA program,
however, it is optimized for children & young teenagers. It also
allows parents to train in the same class as their children if they
want to. Instructors pair adults with adults, and children with children.
Only
those adults with their own children in the class are allowed to
participate.
However, parents have the option of
just watching the classes, or simply dropping off their children until
class is over. We understand family schedules need to be flexible, so
attend as many or as few classes as you like every week!
Life Skills For Children!
This class provides a friendly, safe and enjoyable format of comprehensive training for children at least 7 years old and above. The training has a very strong emphasis on safety.
Every parent wants the best for their children, and to prepare them for all the challenges that they will face in the future. Effective self-defense skills are certainly important in today’s world full of undesirable people. However, the long term benefits of our children’s curriculum provides much more than just self-defense skills.Our program develops essential skills and attitudes in preparation for the many physical and psychological challenges they will face during the rest of their lives! The following key traits will have a massive impact on their future success and happiness…
- The confidence &
self-esteem to take on new challenges, expect the best from themselves, and
to ignore negative peer pressure, drugs, and other unhealthy
influences.
- The habit of being physically active and fit, and the self esteem fitness provides both socially and in athletics.
- The habit of setting and
achieving goals, and balancing work (training) and play (fun
time).
- The focus and discipline to
keep going and succeed in whatever they have decided to achieve. Overcoming
the habit of quitting, and turning the fear of failure into a fun process of
learning.
- Social skills including
communication, listening, giving and receiving, courtesy and respect.
- Leadership skills (at
advanced levels) including taking responsibility, being organized, being a
good example, speaking to and leading a group.
- Real self defense skills that provide confidence and, if needed, skills for staying safe if they have to deal with school yard bullies, excessive peer
pressure, or other situations that require real self-defense skills.
- Honor, which is simply
doing what is right. This includes knowing how to properly use the martial art training, and most importantly, knowing when NOT to use it and simply walk away. Also, confidence should not produce arrogance, but the ability to show respect to others, and to help others.
Most parents do everything
they can to teach these life skills to their children. It’s not an
easy task because this type of education is not found in our schools. Schools
tend to focus on knowledge for a career, not skills for a life. It’s not
found on our football, soccer or little league fields either. Team sports tend
to focus on how to win a game, not how to win in life. Teaching your child the
life skills of goal setting, focus, discipline, confidence, courtesy and honor, at a young age,
will have a massive impact on the level of success and happiness he or she
enjoys in later life.
