The study of the Martial Arts is one of the few
activities that brings together the energy of both the
mind and the body. Our mission at the Bainbridge Family
Martial Arts Academy is to bring that energy together.
Here at Family Martial Arts Academy we are focused and
determined to serve our students with the highest
quality instruction, professionalism, and service in the
industry. To achieve our goal we have implemented
programs that cater to the individual interests of our
community. Our Students range from all ages with
interest varying from stress relieving, health promoting
exercises to intense, traditional training that the
Martial Arts are so famous for. All aspects of our
center are arranged to build a balanced relationship of
trust and respect with our students. We offer discipline
and character building in a friendly and relaxed
atmosphere that anyone can feel comfortable in. So if
you are ready to feel great, become disciplined,
focused, confident, and alive then come in and see us.
Our doors are open.
More than any other sport, the martial arts gives our
children the chance to explore their innate powers. They
constantly amaze us as they increase in strength,
flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. This is
only the start. Physical skills act as a foundation for
something much more important: the development of value
skills.
Family Martial Arts incorporates a combination of
techniques and principles from a variety of Martial Arts
styles, including Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kung
Fu and weapons, all of which provides our students with
a well-balanced, "streetsmart" self-defense system. Most
other styles of martial arts tend to focus on just
individual areas of self-defense. Combining the best of
many styles into a blended system, gives our students
the advantage they need to protect themselves in
virtually any situation.
We have three main goals for our students:
LEARN PRACTICAL SELF DEFENSE: Family Martial Arts
Academy has a system of natural, easy to learn
movements, which are designed to allow individuals aged
young and old, male or female, to defend themselves
against aggressive, often larger opponents.
PROMOTE BETTER HEALTH: In order to eliminate wasted
motion and promote increased speed and power, students
are taught to become more relaxed and fluid. The way we
train also has an aerobic effect. This improves the
cardiovascular system (hearts and lungs) and accelerates
the body’s metabolism, causing you to burn more calories
and to lose weight. Regular training also results in
increased balance, flexibility, strength, muscle tone,
speed, coordination, and improved reflexes and timing!
Once in better health, you will not only look better and
feel better, you will also have a lot more energy to do
the things you enjoy.
DEVELOP A STRONG MIND: In this aspect, our curriculum
surpasses all other exercise and sports activities. Our
program is taught according to individual needs and
levels of skills. Through our instructor’s guidance and
encouragement, students begin to establish, and actually
achieve, personal goals. Students learn that, by setting
realistic goals and applying dedication and hard work,
anything is possible. They develop confidence! The
virtues of Respect, Concentration, Discipline, and
Motivation are the characteristics of a truly confident
individual. All these, and more, are stressed by our
Staff. We thank you for wanting to take interest.
We are a Black Belt School
Many people misunderstand the concept of the black belt.
A black belt, itself, is not the ultimate achievement in
the Martial Arts. There are actually 10 different levels
of the black belt, the first of which signifies that the
student is ready to begin the advanced level of
training. It takes approximately 4-5 years to achieve
the first level of black belt, and every new student
should look at this belt as a realistic goal. Remember,
goals are needed in order to keep you focused while you
are acquiring the skills needed to achieve them. Much
like college, the goal of an Associate Degree helps keep
you motivated to complete your two years of study,
enabling you to realize some tangible benefit for your
efforts. Think of your black as a 3 year degree.
Students are expected to set goals and commit themselves
to achieve them. Individuals who wish to become Family
Martial Arts Academy students, should expect to attend
at least two classes per week.
Our classes are taught by certified black belt
instructors, who care about their students and conduct
themselves accordingly. They help students to learn and
to improve themselves through positive support and
encouragement, not through intimidation! Please feel
free to ask your instructor any questions that will
assist in your decision to make our studio your place to
train. Come and join our family and remember, teaching
and helping you is the reason we are here.
