Question 1

Does my child face a risk for injury with martial arts?

Accepted Answer

Our program is extremely safe. We have measures upon measures in place to ensure that your child will stay safe, and have a great time. From stretching to warmups to very close supervision - we've got your child covered. Injuries do happen sometimes - but they're quite rare.

Question 2

My child isn't athletic. Can they still participate in martial arts if they're not athletic?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Martial arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities grow them even more.

Question 3

What ages are the other kids in the martial arts classes?

Accepted Answer

Our classes are divided by age so that we can teach according to a student's attention span and coordination level using age-specific drills.  Our Li'l Dragons program consists of children 3-7 years old, our juniors program teaches 8-14 year olds and our adult classes consist of 15 years old and up. Martial arts is the kind of thing that grows with you. So as kids get older, they learn new techniques, perfect old ones, and advance.

Question 4

Do boys and girls take martial arts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have a good mix of both girls and boys in our kids martial arts classes! Some people think that the boys are much “stronger and tougher,” but in reality this is not true. In fact, often girls are the stronger ones!
