School Philosophy

Class Design

We encourage our students to use their Martial Arts knowledge to improve our communities through one act of leadership, public service and mentoring at a time.  

Classes and the school environment is designed so that students can start at any time and blend into our academy.  Students are able to move through the program at a rate comfortable for them, not necessarily as a class unit.  Thus allowing students to learn and grow at their own pace, but encouraged to work hard to achieve specific, repeatable goals and objectives.  Transformational language creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere to learn and grow as a martial artist.

Children and adults require different curriculum and teaching methods, therefore we have specialized classes for children and adults divided by age level and proficiency.

No one sits on the bench... Everyone participates in the entire class!

Social and Emotional Intelligence

Social and emotional intelligence is the capacity for recognizing and managing our own feelings and those of others.  People who posses social and emotional intelligence have the ability to empathize, control impulses, communicate and work with others.  They tend to be more productive and live happier in their lives and in school.  To create an atmosphere where social and emotional intelligence is promoted and expected; parents, students and teachers must all be partners.

Your Journey

While training in authentic and highly skilled martial artists, we believe the highest purpose of martial arts is to prepare students for the responsibilities of citizenship. Martial arts are about real and powerful experiences, resulting in the discovery of innate capabilities and a heightened sense of responsibility.
