A fun, supportive and educational activity — martial arts teaches young kids life skills while they have fun.

Read More

Young children are curious and active – and they sometimes have difficulty learning to control their bodies and their behavior. They crave structure and thrive in an environment that’s supportive, educational, and fun.

They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive. They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end. They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.

You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life. Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.

The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need.

Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the dojo. Junior martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.

Young children who learn martial arts find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability. They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.

Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks. The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.

Martial arts instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the power of persistence. The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.

Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are. Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.

Give your kids the lifelong gifts of personal success, confidence, discipline and self-defence.

Read More

Martial arts classes normally makes you think of self-defense, being strong, fit and safe. The truth is, it’s all that and WAY more!

They are great kids but they just don’t listen, often being told to do something a hundred times before they actually do anything. They’re bright and intelligent, yet have trouble paying attention at home, in school or in any important situation. They are simply shy and lack the confidence and self-esteem needed to live up to their full potential.

There really is a safe, natural and extremely effective way to take charge and positively impact every aspect of your child’s life. It doesn’t take medicine, therapy, harsh actions, or cajoling your kids to change their behavior. Instead, it is teaching your kids self-discipline, hard work, confidence, and respect. This done in a way that empowers them while also teaching them humility, and promoting health and fitness… all at the same time.

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily – far more easily than we do as adults. In fact, parents can sometimes see a difference in their kids after just one martial arts class. Each additional class they attend increases their knowledge and growth.

Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, they’re also learning the value of self-discipline and respect. When you enroll your child in a martial arts class, you’re giving them much more than the physical skills we teach. You’re giving them the opportunity to thrive.

The true benefit of our classes are the character and success traits that are developed through martial arts training. Through learning the skills and techniques of martial arts, to the guidance and inspiration of our instructors and the positive social interaction with their fellow classmates, your kids will develop a whole list of skills.

Between the foods we eat and the constant sitting and staring into screens and devices, many kids aren’t getting enough regular exercise. Our martial arts classes for kids are full exercise routines disguised as a boatload of fun! That’s because they are jam-packed with activities, games and drills that are all designed to disguise the repetition of training.

We never want our kids to have to use these skills in modern life, but every good parent still wants their kids to be safe. That’s why our martial arts training is very serious about teaching your kids the skills needed for self-protection in any circumstance, from the neighborhood bully to a stranger on the street. But knowing how to defend oneself is only half the battle. Our classes teach your child the respect and self-discipline needed to diffuse a situation without violence whenever possible – as well as the knowledge to know when force is the only way to safety.

We never forget… kids are kids and they deserve to have some fun! It really is a challenge to design a class that keeps children focused on learning, respect, and discipline while still having fun… but our classes are created just for that. It’s also a fantastic and healthy environment for them (and you) to make friends with other like-minded students. It really is a place where laughter, cheer and happiness abound.

Deliver a knockout punch to your usual workout — fun, empowering, and a great workout at any age or fitness level.

Studying martial arts is something that anybody – at any age or fitness level – can do. Martial arts classes are fun, empowering, and provide a great workout for adults. Whether you want to defend yourself, lose weight, or just have fun, our teens & adults martial arts classes have something to offer.

You want to be able to defend yourself or your family. You struggle to be confident in your abilities and strengths and want a healthy way to decrease stress and anxiety. You want to shed extra pounds and cultivate a positive body image.

Even when you do find time to hit the gym, regardless of having a schedule that’s full of work, family time, and other obligations, you might be bored by your same old workout. There’s nothing exciting about another go-round on the treadmill or elliptical – and you might need some encouragement to stick to a schedule and achieve your fitness goals.

Martial arts classes for adults focus on building core strength and cardiovascular fitness in a fun, social setting. Our classes can help you build core strength, increase your flexibility, learn how to defend yourself and the people you love, or lose weight. They’re also a great place to make new friends. Whatever your fitness goals are, you can achieve them in our classes.

Many people feel vulnerable and wish that they had a way to defend themselves if they end up in a dangerous situation. Martial arts classes build strength, confidence, and agility while teaching basic but effective self-defense moves. Studying martial arts can help you shake feelings of vulnerability and believe in your ability to ward off an attack.

It’s common for adults to struggle with self-esteem as they deal with competitive work environments and overloaded to-do lists. Teens and adults who study martial arts learn to search within themselves for their best qualities. They learn to self-motivate and not to worry what others think of them.

One of the keys to losing weight is finding a workout that you genuinely like doing. Martial arts workouts are fun and challenging. They burn calories while also building muscles and ramping up your metabolism.

All people need an outlet for their worry and anxiety – and martial arts classes provide it. Martial arts classes burn calories, release tension and anxiety, and help keep you on an even keel mentally and emotionally.

A Message From Co-Owner

More Than Kicking
And Punching.

I’m Craig Harrington, Owner here at Absolute Martial Arts. As a martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.

But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life. Because martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt. It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect.

With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body and character.

That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. Through learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness and self-respect. And of course it’s a ton of FUN!

That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in this community, and why I know your kids are going to LOVE training.
