Our Experience Kids Program helps children develop skills to enhance their confidence, learn self-control and better identify and respond to bullying by teaching them effective, non-violent self-defense techniques so they can stay safe. It is also a great way for them to stay active, make new friends, and have fun while they learn invaluable life skills. We teach kids how to persevere on the mats so they can persevere in life by instilling a hard work ethic, a positive attitude, and a love of martial arts. Classes provide character development and confidence building in a safe, inclusive and conducive learning environment for kids 5-13.

The focus of each class is to improve your child's overall health and fitness, and help them develop self-confidence, focus, discipline, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, patience, social skills and dedication. At Experience​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​, the principles of hard work and perseverance is always reinforced.

​

The physical fitness aspects of our program also prevent kids from lapsing into the sedentary lifestyles associated with the incessant watching of YouTube, Netflix and playing video games. Classes include physical drills, games, techniques, and live training, which enables children to elevate their muscle memory and reflex development. Practice makes progress and every situation is a learning opportunity.

CRITICAL CONFIDENCE 

​

Self-defense begins with the belief that we are worth defending. The challenge is that most kids won't establish boundaries that they don't feel capable of enforcing, and that's where the Experience Kids program comes into the equations. We'll teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. We use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence, by preparing your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one. Giving them the tools but also educating them on not to use their techniques, unless absolutely necessary, to protect themselves. 

 

Through the appropriate and effective self-defense techniques they will acquire, your child will also have the enhanced level of self-esteem needed to confidently diffuse confrontations before they escalate. Providing them with unshakable confidence will increase their ability to make the right choices in all areas of life. Furthermore, a child that bullies also lacks self-esteem. Ultimately, the solution to ending the cycle of bullying - is building confidence in our children. Be proactive in the fight against bullying to ensure that your child never becomes a victim of this pervasive problem.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

 

We teach kids that through self-discipline, commitment, and perseverance, they can accomplish anything. Patience, self-control, problem-solving skills are also key attributes learned through the practice of our martial arts. The aforementioned invaluable life skills will undoubtedly serve your children in all areas of their life. Our teaching methodology used in our program is unlike anything else that is found in traditional jiu-jitsu schools. When a child makes a mistake, we don't focus on the error, instead, we emphasize the correctly executed aspects of the technique. Through our carefully layered positive reinforcement, we help the kids reach their full potential without jeopardizing their love of the art. 

 

Raising your children is your responsibility. Teaching them martial arts, is ours. Together, we can help them reach their full potential.
