New to Martial Arts

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” ~Lao Tzu

Welcome to your first experience training in martial arts!

We’re happy you are here and want to prepare you to have the most positive first experience with us possible!

You’re about to get onto the mat and you’re ready for a new world filled with challenges, accomplishments and above all memorable experiences that will allow you to grow. The Basics class is where it all begins. This is where you learn your most elemental yet important skills. The Basics are the foundation of true skill. In fact, the hallmark of an expert Black Belt is more about the precision of his or her basic skills under pressure than the sheer number of techniques an individual memorizes. Even more important than the technical skills are the habits developed that will take you to your Shodan (1st Degree Black Belt). Just remember everyone had to start somewhere so relax and enjoy yourself.

For Kids & Teens…
One can begin training at any age, even as young as 3 years old! Our classes are designed for each level of childhood development. From Tiny Tigers where the teeniest ones are just learning to follow directions to teenagers who are often ready to jump right in – and everyone in between – our seasoned martial arts instructors make entry into training a positive and success filled experience. It is from this foundation that we can take even the most timid child and build them into a confident and skilled martial artist.
