Are You A Licensed Daycare Center?
We operate under the “come and go” policy as outlined in our County Child Care Facilities Ordinance.
We are not a daycare center. Our mission is to teach martial arts, fitness, and life skills.
Summer Camp
My Child Is Shy And Introverted.
If there is any common success story from our martial arts program it’s students and parents telling us how we helped their child to “come out of his/her shell.”
We have specific drills and exercises that are effective for helping students take small steps toward a more confident presence.
My Child Has A Short Attention Span.
We understand that keeping attention can be a real challenge with this age group.
That’s why our program is fast-moving and engaging for the children.
Our instructors are also experts at helping children to re-focus in class until it becomes natural to the child.
My Child Is Not Very Active And Never Liked Sports Before.
We often think of the mental disciplines of martial arts but the physical disciplines are just as important and emphasized just as much.
Recognizing and resisting urges to act out are central to the discipline of making sure a student is not abusing the training.
That includes developing the self-control to resist urges.
My Child Is Constantly Fighting With His Sister. Are We Putting Her At Risk?
The responsible use of martial arts for good rather than harm is central to everything we teach.
Parents of our martial arts students are consistently impressed with how our training helps to mature the children in different ways and temper control is one of them.
Much of that has to do with a heightened self-awareness to recognize when things are “heating up” and how to de-escalate.”
My Child Has A History Of Quitting New Activities.
When you enroll your child into our school to help with self-discipline, it’s crucial that you work with the instructors to set clear expectations.
This starts with your child clearly understanding that the first discipline is to come to class twice a week and practice two non-class days.
To help you with that the child psychologists in the Martial Arts Teachers’ Association’s Certification program suggest you be aware of what activity the child is engaged in right before getting ready for class.
If they are playing their favorite game and having fun, they will be more resistant to stopping to go to class than if they were doing something that may not be as fun, like homework.
How Much Are Lessons?
Our tuition varies with the program you choose for your child.
We offer a 2-class trial lesson course so that you can see how your child likes the program and then we will go over all of the options for you.
Our Core Values
What we do
Safety and Security
Our after-school and summer camp facility is a clean and safe environment for your child. Our instructors are trained not just to look out for the safety and security of our kids, but also to keep our facility spotless and clean.
Structure
From free time to learning time, our schedule has been developed through the years to keep kids engaged and active throughout the day. We also include a rest period so children can take a nap, read a book or just relax quietly.
Life Skills Training
Kids will learn about decision-making and actually do roleplays that will increase their confidence when faced with an uncomfortable situation like dealing with bullies. We’ll teach them situational awareness so they can recognize and avoid bad circumstances.
We Are a No Bully Zone
In our facility, bullying isn’t tolerated. We actually host seminars with national bullying experts to teach our families what bullying is and how to prevent it.
What we do NOT DO
We Don't Baby Sit
We Do Not Compromise on Safety
Nothing is more important to you and to us than the safety of your child. Our instructors are screened and trained to always place safety first.
No Foul Language
We want kids to develop confidence and character. Words matter and we help the kids understand that through lessons and example.
