US Martial Arts Academy's Children's Programs

US Martial Arts provides a top-notch children’s program for children starting at four years of age. Every class is structured to assist your child in developing his/her motor and focus skills, while having fun!

Program Philosophy:  US Martial Arts programs are built on the solid knowledge that every child is developing both cognitively and physically at a different pace. While proper martial arts etiquette and techniques are at the heart of every class, your child will enjoy a non-competitive environment where he or she can develop at his/her own pace. US Martial Arts desires for each child to have a positive and enriching experience with martial arts to instill a life long enjoyment of the discipline.

Program Content:  Every class is a combination of athleticism and focus. Your child will:

  • Participate in large muscle activities for conditioning such as running and jumping.
  • Practice kung-fu forms to enhance balance, focus skills, and concentration. Yes, these skills transfer over to school and home activities!
  • Perform toning exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, and hand-stands.
  • Repeat and practice kung-fu techniques.

Program Results:  When your child is competent at a certain activity he/she will be feel confident. Our program is designed to equip each child for competency in the martial art of kung-fu. Your child will develop this competency through our specially designed classes that teach children the way that children learn through games, movement and activities. As your child progresses though US Martial Arts, he/she will gain the skills, techniques and etiquette of proper Kung-fu training, resulting in a healthy confidence in him/herself that will last a lifetime.

Class Groupings:
