Teen Martial Arts for Ages 12 - 17

Our Teen Martial Arts program combines traditional Taekwondo with  practical, self-defense elements found in Small Circle Jujitsu and the Filipino art of Eskrima.

Taekwondo incorporates exciting kicks, strikes and combinations with strong fundamental skills.  Our adult classes focus on three key aspects of Taekwondo: the traditional / artistic aspect, the fitness / sport aspect, and practical, self-defense.

Small Circle Jujitsu emphasizes the use of hands and wrist action to gain superior leverage over an opponent through flows, locks and throws. It serves as an excellent method of self-defense for close quarters personal protection and emphasizes balance, stability, and rotational momentum.

Eskrima developed out of necessity in the Philippines and is now known for its effective, practical combat skills. Using sticks, bladed weapons, flexible weapons, and hand-to-hand techniques, Eskrima successfully address several ranges of defense, utilizing common resources in threatening situations.

In addition to the practical teachings of Martial Arts, you will see several physical benefits from our program. Our classes blend functional movements with cardiovascular conditioning and will help you develop core strength, improve balance and stability, and increase spatial awareness and gross motor control.
