FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Below is our FAQ section, which is meant to help you get a better picture of our classes and approach. Still interested in learning more about something not listed here? No question is too big or too small. Reach out to us, we are happy to answer.
WHEN CAN I START?
As soon as you'd like! We don't have sessions or special dates for classes to start. You can start any day that is convenient for you. All new students work one-on-one with an instructor until they are comfortable and able to join the rest of the class for activities.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRADITIONAL AND NONTRADITIONAL SCHOOL?
All martial arts are different and all schools and associations run a bit differently. In general, non-traditional schools focus on sport and competition. Traditional schools like ours focus on the mental benefits of the art as well as the physical.  While competition is always an option, the goal is mastery of the skills and personal improvement. We stress respect, integrity, and perseverance, over trophies and awards.
WHAT IS THE BEST AGE TO START MARTIAL ARTS?
For our children's classes (ages 5 – 12), martial arts training offers a non-competitive atmosphere with incredible benefits. Beyond learning real and effective self-defense and Bully Proof skills and maintaining or improving physical fitness, students will develop focus, discipline, respect, self-esteem, goal setting skills, and confidence.
For adults, getting started at any age will be beneficial for both body and mind. Since ALL students are treated as individuals your age will not be a factor. Martial arts training is a great way to improve fitness and flexibility, and to learn practical and effective self defense skills. Also you will be training your mind while training your body!
MY CHILD ISN'T VERY ATHLETIC. WILL THEY BE ABLE TO DO MARTIAL ARTS?
Everyone comes into class with their own unique abilities and challenges. We are all individuals after all! No matter what their fitness level, our instructors will tailor instruction to the individual and help them improve their endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility.
HOW MANY TIMES PER WEEK DO STUDENTS ATTEND CLASSES?
Most students attend class twice a week, although some only train one day a week and some choose a program that offers unlimited classes and come as often add they like.
WILL TRAINING IN MARTIAL ARTS TURN MY CHILD INTO A BULLY?
Absolutely not! We stress that fighting is a last resort and only to be used in self defense.
DO I NEED TO HAVE PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE IN SELF DEFENSE?
Previous knowledge is not necessary since most students begin training with zero knowledge.
