Kids love the martial arts!  In addition to improving their overall coordination, concentration, and ability to defend themselves, teenagers gain many positive and life-long benefits from its practice such as building self-worth, self-control and a genuine respect for peers and authority.  But while martial arts training is a great vehicle for a child’s physical and mental growth, teens don’t always belong in adult martial arts classes.

That’s why boys and girls ages 13 – 16 years old have their own program and curriculum.  It’s designed to channel their interest and enthusiasm for the physical aspects of martial arts into the other important aspects of life.  Teenagers can begin to build real confidence in their ability to meet and beat any challenge, first in the dojo, and then in the rest of life.

Along with the traditional martial arts training, the teens programs place heavy emphasis on physical conditioning - both strength and flexibility.
