Our mission is to support, equip, and challenge our students for a life of excellence. We do this by using the martial arts as a fun and interactive tool for developing:
Empowering Thoughts - Embrace the importance of how and what we think about
Empowering Pictures - Sharpen the vision of who and what we want to be
Empowering Habits - Work weekly on the habits that lead to personal success
…FOR A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE
Our mission is to make our students more successful in life. We do this by teaching our Martial Arts as a complete discipline, which in addition to developing physical defense, encourages the formation of high personal standards and respect for other people. Through our practice and teaching we strive to produce individuals who are positive, respected, and contributing members of society.
JOIN THE RANKS OF SATISFIED PARENTS
"Even though our kids have only been enrolled in the Bainbridge Family Martial Arts Academy since this summer, their personal self image has already grown tremendously due to the encouragement, support and training they have received from you and your staff."
"In addition to building their skills and confidence in martial arts and self defense, they also receive guidance with character development in the areas of integrity, responsibility, compassion, understanding, respect and charitable contributions of themselves. Your powerful program encourages our kids to embrace these philosophies every day... developing new and positive life habits... not just in class. You build a relationship with each individual you share your skills with. You demonstrate the personal importance of this by providing individualized, personal and private feedback to each and every student. You believe in each student - and personally challenge them, with confidence, to demonstrate their understanding with action, not just words!! Thank you!"
"You have also encouraged, engaged and even challenged us, as parents, to continue to be the BEST by consistently and actively supporting our efforts to nurture our children in their growth and development. You have earned a position on OUR team by arming our children with positive tools and important life philosophies - ones they will use and take with them throughout their lives. Thank you!" Dana Solis, Poulsbo, WA.
"Attending FMA is a top priority in our very busy schedule. My two sons are excited to attend class twice a week, and are motivated by the monthly worksheets. Sifu invents fun games and drills to help the kids practice their new moves. You can see their hearts swell with pride when they are promoted to the next belt, or they earn a patch to sew on their uniform. I am happy to provide my children with a skill and/or activity that they can practice as both a child and as an adult."
"The children really respect the instructor, and we often discuss what Sifu Rick would think about specific situations we encounter throughout the week. We frequently talk about the worksheets that deal with Life-skills such as Positive Mental Attitude, Respect, Responsibility, Healthy Lifestyles, etc. Sometimes we receive postcards at home addressed to the children from the instructor. These notes often have words of encouragement when we are working through a tough time, and I believe it's good for the kids to know that other adults in their lives really care for and respect them as individuals. The teenage "Helpers" or "Leaders" in the Little Ninja Classes offer the kids role models, and are young adults that they can look up to. I appreciate having FMA be part of the village that is helping to raise our children." Kris Safford, Bainbridge Island, WA.
