Shy to Confident in 60 Days

First-Time Listening at Home

Her teacher told me she’s participating more and staying on task.

Better Focus at School

Picture your child raising a hand with Determination in class.

My child is shy will this be too much?

Every child starts at their own pace with patient coaches. Confidence builds step by step.

We’re busy can we switch days?

Yes! Pick any class time in your age group.

What if my child doesn’t like it?

Try a class first. You decide after you see your child smile.

Do you teach special needs children and those on the spectrum?

Yes, our instructors have the right temperament and patience to help your child succeed. We do encourage a free trial lesson to make sure you are comfortable with the environment and see your child in action. If a student needs specialized help, we ask that a parent or aid join them in class. We have seen many students succeed in our program. Parent's we understand the struggle to find a safe space for your child and only to be met with either "no you can't join" or to be asked to leave for being too disruptive to class. We know some children will be able to join class by themselves while others may need a parent or aid. If you are a parent who is willing to join your child on the mats and help them in class then we have a place for you.

Do you offer make up classes?

Yes, if you miss class we encourage you to come back at your convenience to any of our other age appropriate classes.

Does Martial Arts Help With ADHD?

Yes, we have seen how training helps kids develop habits for focus and concentration especially for those kids showing signs of ADHD. We have spoken with behavioral therapists and they agree it's a great activity for nerodivergent kids on the spectrum.

Do you accept kids with Autism?

Yes, we accept kids with autism both high and low functioning. We do offer a free lesson for parents to evaluate our program. I'm confident you will see your child be encouraged in a positive environment. For some kids we encourage a parent to join them on the mat and assist with movements. I personally have seen children connect a verbal cue with a physical action like a kick after weeks of practice and support. I love that we can support all kids by meeting them at their level and reach their potential.
