Kicking Kids

Our kids program is a fun-filled way to give your child a head start in life.

Lessons emphasize confidence, self-control, and concentration through healthy physical activity. By learning goal-setting and increasing their motivation, kids gain the skills they need for success in their daily lives. Our students earn better grades in school, have better behavior in school and at home, and learn to respect their parents, teachers, and peers.

Children love our program because they have a great time, meet friends, and gain a sense of accomplishment!

Our specially trained instructors will make sure your children have fun while receiving positive feedback and encouragement. Through high-energy activities, they learn to kick, punch, and execute basic self-defense. The level of physical activity helps our students to increase their coordination and balance, and become fit and healthy.

Just For Kicks Martial Arts is devoted to developing our students into strong and confident leaders through our Character Development Program, developed by a child psychologist for martial arts programs.

In a teaching system based on mutual respect, classes focus not only on physical activity, but also on the life skills necessary to be a successful, productive member of society. Tailored for each age group, monthly topics are presented through “mat chats,” written communications posted in school newsletters and on bulletin boards, and examples presented by instructors during classes.

“Because of what you do with Chance he is going to have a better life. He will have more opportunity and more success because of Just For Kicks. We want you to know that you are making a huge difference in the life of a child.”

In addition, a full-fledged leadership program is available, where students are challenged by additional tasks and activities both in our school and in the community. They are also involved in mentoring other students, instructor training, and take the lead in school events and functions.
