The Academy of Kempo Martial Arts System that we have is great for youth because it is fun and easy for them to learn. However, they will be learning great skills in self defence, beginning with how they can avoid a confrontation and how to resolve a conflict without violence. If you want your kids to learn important virtues and you want to improve their performance academically and in sports, what AKMA offers is perfect for your kids.

More Confidence

When it comes to teaching your kids confidence, there is nothing else that can compare with the training that is provided at the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts. As students go up in rank, their confidence helps them to excel in every area. Obstacles and tough tasks are not dealt with reluctantly. Kids are deterred from getting in fights with Pro-Star when they give off an aura of confidence. Bullies don't pick on children that are confident. Teachers, coaches, and even future employers will see their confidence, making them a good choice. Within just a few years, they will have the confidence they need to become productive adults.

Every belt that is earned by a student will be another challenge that your child will meet and exceed. We work to prepare them to progress to another belt, and this will help their confidence and skill to grow. Parents let us know that their kids develop confidence that makes every area of their life better. Test taking skills are better, they are not afraid of socializing, and they are equipped with confidence to say no to peer pressure.

Better Self Discipline

Many parents mention that one of the big benefits they notice is that their children are more self disciplined. We have staff that are patient and professional. Kids have fun, but there are boundaries. Our instructors insist that the students are also discipline at school, in the home, and everywhere else.

There is a good balance between discipline and fun that is kept by our instructors. This keeps kids interested in the program for many years. The balance along with the classes that are high energy that make student retention high. We work to make sure every class is ended on a great note, making kids excited to come back.

Commitment

If you have a child that gives ups and quits things on a regular basis, this program will be especially beneficial for them. Our training will instill in them perseverance so they learn to finish things that they start, even when it is tough. We are great at retaining students and at motivating kids, so there is no need for you to worry.

Black Belt Excellence - An Attitude that is Superior

Our teaching is that excellence is represented by the black belt. In every class before the black belt and even beyond, this is always emphasized. Kids begin to ask themselves "How would a black belt act at home with their parents?" "How would a black belt pay attention in class." "How would the assignment be done by a black belt?" This attitude is great for motivating students and greatly changes their attitude.

Respect

Here at the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts, we teach kids that they should respect their parents, instructors, elders, siblings, and more. The code of ethics we have helps to make children well rounded and courteous so they know how to treat belongings and other people.

Dealing with Learning Disabilities

There are actually doctors out there that recommend our program as a great option to try instead of medication for kid that are dealing with learning disabilities, including ADHD and ADD. Even kids dealing with personality disorders that are minor may be helped.

Passive/Aggressive

Children that are aggressive will take this training and become more passive. Shy children will become more assertive as well. The training helps to moderate children so you have a child that develops greater potential.

Athletic and Fitness Improvement

Whether you have a child that is already a great athlete or one that needs to get their body in shape, this program will help them get to a higher level of achievement physically. Each body part is used with our techniques, while working to sharpen the mind as well. This will help kids to do well in sports like football, soccer, and baseball. Your kids will get into shape quickly while having fun.

No More Bullies

Our goal is to teach kids to protect themselves in a manner that is supportive and safe. Kids learn what to do and when they should use the skills that they learn. Learning to defend themselves also carries with it responsibility. We train students to avoid misusing what they learn, even if they are just playing with friends.

We hope your children won't have to use what they learn. However, the confidence that they gain when they learn martial arts will help eliminate problems with bullies. The training is not for a fight, but it is designed to avoid fights.

There are cruel children out there that pick on other kids. We teach confidence to children that will keep them from becoming targets and they also are given the tools to avoid using violence while dealing with any situation that is thrown at them.
