Jr. Leaders Jeet Kune Do – Ages 8 through 12.
Teens class 13 to 16.

Youth programs consist of multiple disciplines including: Thai Boxing, Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee’s art), Pedro Sauer Gracie JiuJitsu, Filipino Martial arts, and personal safety.  Life Lessons are interspersed throughout the children’s training to assist them in understanding their own responsibility in achieving their goals, learning to overcome obstacles, and learn  to make ethical, wise choices in life. With our long term goal being that, this knowledge will aid them in making sound and ethical decisions throughout life.

Rank advancement is dependent upon physical knowledge, behavior (at home, in school, and at the academy) and character. We do not reward bad behavior at home,  school or here at the academy.

FUN, FITNESS, SELF – AWARENESS ALL ROLLED INTO ONE!

SOME OF THE BENEFITS FOR YOUR KIDS AT MARTIN ACADEMY ARE:

3. We teach kids to become Leaders not followers.
4. Goal Setting for Greatness exercises

6. Core strength and Coordination/Balance enhancing drills
7. Listening and concentration building exercises
8. Improve Grades – Teachers and Parents and our staff are in communication on grades.
9. Children enjoy a fun and energetic program that builds strength, flexibly endurance and character.

Not only does our program focus on fitness, safety and self defense, but it also provides them with a safe, positive, and respectful environment to experiment with new techniques, and overcome their fears and challenges of trying something new. Learning to deal with disappointment is just as important in this world of instant gratification and thoughts of everyone should get a trophy mentality.

At Martin Academy we stress the importance of technical skill and the everyday values needed to excel in life physically, mentally and socially. Children develop the ability to listen, to learn and to achieve greatness.  

We help them improve their verbal and non-verbal communication skills, plus deal with bullying, anger, stranger danger and deal with negative peer pressure.

Helping children to learn to take responsibility for their actions and that not everything goes as planned. Nothing goes as planned in a street confrontation or dealing with bullies so we also emphasize learning to go with the flow and improvise when needed.

Every parent and child at various times has challenges where a little assistance from their martial arts instructor makes a big difference. If there is current issue or challenge with a child we encourage parents to inform us  so that we might address the problem together.

Plus, there is tons of encouraging praise and personal rewards.

We limit the amount of kids on each class. Once those hit the limit there’s a waiting list to join.
