12 to 15 - JUNIOR / YOUTH MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAM
For ages 12 to 15 our Teen Martial Arts continues the trend of personal effort and achievement established in our other youth classes but prior participation is not required. Discipline, Focus, and Goal Setting are emphasized through the introduction of more advanced techniques from our core martial arts of Filipino Kali/Arnis/Escrima, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Western Boxing, Chinese Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.Personal awareness, community service, responsibility, and leadership are considered a vital part of our teen class, as students learn new degrees of control and patience through the completion of homework assignments, in-class activities, and mentoring our younger students.
As the students learn and progress they will earn belts at the beginner, advanced beginner and intermediate levels. After these accomplishments the final push towards Black Belt will be made by upgrading to the Black Belt Club for one more day of training each week.
Complimentary Training - Open Gym
Every Friday from 3:45 to 4:30, the floor is reserved for Juniors and Teens to come in to train and practice. Instructors will be on the mat to help out, answer questions, and facilitate training. This is a great time for students to prepare for tests, test for colored tips, or work on a move that they are having trouble with.
