For Teens
Teens have unique needs as they mature from childhood to young adulthood. Self-defense classes are proven to provide the safe and structured environment teens need to face the physical, emotional, and mental challenges of adolescence.
Provides An Outlet For Excess Energy
Teens – when they aren’t sleeping – have energy to burn, so they need an outlet to release all this energy. Their bodies need to be challenged physically, allowing them to grow, get stronger, and develop coordination. Martial arts develop their gross motor skills and overall strength and conditioning, providing an outlet for excess energy.
Teaches Responsibility, Discipline And Goal Setting
Responsibility - As teens learn self-defense, teens are taught that along with the power of being able to protect themselves and others comes the responsibility of their actions, of knowing when and where to use this power.
Discipline - Teens learn in a very structured environment that requires them to listen, focus, and perform every single time they come to class.
Goal Setting - Through the belt ranking system, teens are taught how to decide goals, set deadlines, make plans, and check on progress. Once they achieve a goal, they enjoy the win and move on to the next one, ultimately achieving a Black Belt.
