XMA: Xtreme Martial Arts for Kids


XMA is a program which specializes in building confidence, discipline, self-esteem, and leadership skills in children. Through a structured program of martial arts, children also learn to defend themselves from bullies without encouraging them to become more violent. The character building skills they develop help to reduce peer pressure as well. Do remember that martial arts are just that--fighting skills. That is what martial arts is rooted in, and that is what the discipline, self-confidence, and all those other positive things associated with them springs from. Skilled martial artists carry themselves with an air of self-confidence that we'd all like our children to have. This is because these artists know they can fight; they have proved it to himself by doing so and feel no uncertainty about it. Our program differs from others in that we also include non-violent self-defense methods. Our kids don't have to hit back if they need to use their self-defense tactics.



Target age for this curriculum is 6 - 12 years of age. Please note that age in the Kids Extreme Karate is just a guideline. Students may be allowed to enroll in a class regardless of age at the Sensei's discretion.
