Childrens Program 

We provide a well-rounded course of instruction
in Martial Arts with a focus on improving the
overall being of a student rather than just teaching them
"how to fight."  In actuality, we teach our students
how not to fight.

Our program includes stretching exercises, a proven aid in long-range
health maintenance; self-defense techniques, which require the student
to move and to think in directions that are, at first, alien to him/her;
and lastly, awareness training of his/her responsibility to others.
Our students know they should never frivolously use the techniques which have been taught.  Our philosophy is: "The first person to throw a punch is the first person to run out of ideas."

The childrens' class is geared specifically toward children 6-10 years of age.  We place emphasis on building self-esteem and confidence with some of the following benefits:

By engaging one another in a close contact way, students can become more comfortable and less likey to be intimidated.

The warm-up regimen and physical skills will sharpen their reflexes and increase their sense of well-being.

Self-Esteem

By encouraging students to be strong and to push themselves to do better, they gain a stronger sense of self.  Confidence and Self-Esteem go hand-in-hand with Martial Arts.  Physical fitness workouts help build better strength, flexibility, agility, balance and a positive attitude about a healthy lifestyle.

Discipline

Self-Discipline:  doing what you're supposed to, when you're supposed to do it, without being told!  Completing homework without being asked, cleaning up belongings and following directions the first time - all are a part of the life lessons taught at Global Martial Arts Academy.
