“Our son absolutely loves the martial arts. He truly enjoys the classes and is determined to become a black belt someday. The most widely used word in our home is “respect”, a quality greatly emphasized at the Family Martial Arts Academy. Thank you for providing such a great example for these impressionable young children.”
— Michael & Lorna Klein, Bainbridge Island

MMA JUNIORS PROGRAM

Ages (9 - 12)

At Family Martial Arts Academy students will learn skills in the practical arts of:

•    Boxing

•    Kickboxing

•    Wrestling

•    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

These skills will challenge them in an age and personality-appropriate manner and will give them practical tools for self-protection.

They will also learn that most of the time the biggest fight is against ourselves.  For this reason we teach and train them to defend themselves against laziness, mediocrity and a lack of respect and self-discipline.

Our Junior Program for ages 9-12 is focused on the physical, emotional and mental well-being, as well as education of our children.

Our popular program for Juniors uses interesting and enjoyable methods to keep the student's attention and teach our young students skills that they can use for life. We promote non-violent resolutions to conflict. More than any other sport, the martial arts gives our children the chance to explore and develop their natural strengths, and challenges them to reach and stretch into areas they might not normally pursue. Marvel as they increase not only in strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. This is only the start. Physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of value skills, both mental and emotional.

Among the martial arts skill they will develop, they will learn:

• How to resolve conflict without using violence
• How to effectively deal with a bully using verbal skills and assertiveness
• How to use non-deadly force techniques that will allow them to escape
• How to deal effectively with a stranger

In today's society these skills are of the utmost importance. The study of the martial arts is a fun way for your child to learn them. And, unlike many other sports, NO ONE sits on the bench.
