Through these lessons, students become more confident in their ability to stand up to bullies, while developing humility and kindness toward others.
Are Parents Allowed To Watch?

What Do I Need To Bring To My First Martial Arts Lesson?
It's important to wear comfortable, athletic clothing. Skirts, for example, are not ideal for practicing kicks. Make sure to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during fun and lively martial arts classes for both kids. Most students leave with big smiles, and so will you!
I'm Not Very Sporty or Coordinated, Will That Be A Problem?
