Age-Specific Classes Means Your Child Gets the care They Need
Most martial arts schools throw every age group into the same class. The result is total chaos!
But from consulting with top experts - we know that kids develop different skills at different ages. A 4 year old, a 7 year old, and a 10 year old are miles apart!
They need classes specific to what they can handle.
We offer that here. Based on child psychology and neurology, we split kids up into specific age groups. That way your child gets EXACTLY what he or she needs to truly flourish.
Classes are smaller, calmer, more focused, and more FUN.
It’s so much More Than Kicks and Punches…
For thousands of years, martial arts have been a tool for more than self-defense. They've helped kids develop amazing traits like discipline and focus.
In fact, we simply use martial arts as a tool here. It's a tool we use to help your child grow and succeed in life.
The amazing life-lessons will help your child for many, many years to come: In school, at home, and even down the road when they're ready to start their career.
That's what it's all about.
Kids become more focused at school, gain the courage to raise their hands and ask more questions (so they learn more), become more respectful to their parents and the rest of the world, and more.
It's truly life-changing.
We Consulted Top Experts
in Child Psychology &
Development. here’s
what we learned:
We’re martial arts experts first and foremost. That’s why, to develop our program, we sought out top experts in children. That includes child psychologists and experts in how kids grow and develop.
We learned that kids develop motor skills and cognitive abilities in stages. So we designed our program to work WITH those stages for the most powerful, fun experience possible.
The result: Fun classes that truly help your child in school, at home, and in life.
and don’t forget the Healthy, safe, FUN Exercise!
With video games, smart phones, computers, and tablets… it’s getting harder and harder for kids to get exercise.
We solve that problem in every class. Every session is a FUN, full-body workout for your child.
It keeps them healthy and strong… And even develops balance, coordination, and strength.
Plus, our program is EXTREMELY safe.
In fact, martial arts has a lower injury rate than bowling! (Crazy, I know!) That’s because we put so much effort into stretching, proper technique, and supervision.
Confidence & Self-Esteem Skyrocket.
Your child will accomplish things here that they may have never thought possible.
They’ll not only amaze you… they’ll amaze themselves.
They’ll realize that they can achieve so much more than they ever thought. And as a result, their confidence in themselves will SKYROCKET.
It’s a truly wonderful thing to see.
You’ll see a confidence that radiates from the inside, and seeps into everything your child does.
passionate Instructors who truly care.
All of our instructors go through a rigorous screening process. First, we conduct interviews and background checks to make sure they’re total experts.
Then, we dig deeper to make sure they’re PASSIONATE, full of ENERGY, truly love helping kids, and know how to have FUN!
Kids fall in love with our instructors, and I have no doubt your child will, too. They’re amazing people, and wonderful role models who are there to help your child get ahead in life.
Self-Defense Skills Keep Your Child Safe.
While fitness & fun are the main focuses of our program... kids also learn how to powerfully defend themselves.
No bully will ever cause them fear or humiliation.
But we also teach kids about diplomacy. Talking things out always comes first.
In fact, 9 out of 10 situations can be resolved through the talking skills we teach children. They learn how to peacefully end situations BEFORE they get hostile. But just in case that won’t work, your child will know how to defend himself and escape.
Every Kid Goes at His or Her Own Pace. No Child Ever Feels “Left Out”, or Like He’s “Letting the Team Down”.
Some kids need to start out slow. That”s fine! They won”t be “slowing down the team” or holding anyone back.
Other kids are ready to rock out and go fast on Day 1. That”s fine, too. They won't have to wait for anyone to “catch up”.
These classes are perfect for kids of all fitness levels. And our community-oriented vibe makes it so ALL kids encourage and support one another. No child ever feels left behind.

Early SKILLZ
(3-4 Year Olds)
3-4 year olds love physical activity and anything involving play. They have a rich imagination and strong desire to be less dependent on their usual caregivers.
With that said, a structured program introducing early skill-based training in Martial Arts can prove to be very successful.
The problem is many children this age have a hard time with structure in a group environment like what is commonly found in most Martial Arts schools. The solution is to provide them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that keeps them entertained while at the same time building skills that set them up for the next age group.
Basic SKILLZ
(5-6 Year Olds)
5-6 year olds are the most enthusiastic students.
They love creativity and problem solving, which makes them ideal students in the Martial Arts. The problem is they are so progressive in following tasks that some teachers tend to treat them like their older peers.
This is a problem because they still do not have the basic skills necessary to keep up with children ages 7 and up. The solution is to provide them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that adapts to their social and intellectual curiosity while at the same time building skills that set them up for the next age group.
Core SKILLZ
(7-9 Year Olds)
7-9 year olds are what most people consider "the golden age."
They are proficient in their vocabulary and problem-solving skills, yet they are not at the age where they want complete independence from adults. This makes the teacher-student relationship stronger than ever.
The problem is they still lack core skills, and although they are highly intelligent, they struggle to keep up with students ages 10 and up.
The solution is to provide them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that adapts to their adventurous attitude and youthful nature while at the same time building skills that set them up for the next age group.
Extreme SKILLZ
(10-14 Year Olds)
10-14 year olds are the smartest students in the school. Yes, they are smarter than most adults!
They are also physically competent and can excel in most physical challenges that are presented to them. The problem is they are so focused on what is socially acceptable that they have a hard time keeping themselves emotionally driven to the task at hand.
The solution is to provide them with their own program that targets their stage of development in a manner that nurtures their social and emotional instability while at the same time building skills that set them up for the next age group.
real parents speak out about skillz
“Positive growth,
development, and
discipline in our son”
We have been members since April of 2012 and have experienced first hand the positive growth, development and discipline in our son.
Not only in the physical and mental skills of martial arts, but also in developing socially to be responsible and respectful, to make good positive decisions, to be ethical and trustworthy and so much more.
James Tuten, Father
“People keep
complimenting my son’s
leadership skills!”
Just recently, his soccer coach told us that our son was unbelievable on the soccer field and for his age his knowledge and leadership skills were incredible.
The skills he has learned are life altering and will stay with him for a life time. He rarely misses a class and loves going every week.
Judy Crowley, Mother
“My son has learned not only martial arts, but respect for himself and others.” - Andrea Carter, Mother
“Our kids are gaining so much and having such a great time!”
Our three sons are students with Skillz. As well as learning martial arts, they are learning valuable life skills, such as focus, the importance of working hard and self-confidence.
While learning these skills they are having a great time! The staff are very nuturing. I also really like the way all of the curriculum, including physical skills, intellectual and social skills, are presented appropriately to the developmental age of the child. We are looking forward to many more years.
Lara Connors, Ph. D., Mother
“My son has learned that you can succeed in anything you put your mind to”
Peyton was extremely hyper-active child and at age 6, was already experiencing problems in school. His attention span was limited and he struggled to get his work done.
Fast forward 7 years… Peyton is now a second degree black belt and has learned that you can succeed at anything you put your mind to and that hard work and perseverance are the keys to success in anything, not just martial arts.
He’s fortunate to have had these experiences.

“As a parent, I feel like I have a second support system here.” - Dawn Sullivan, Mother
