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 Eskrima's Filipino art.

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/sports aspect, and practical self-defense.

Small Circle Jujitsu emphasizes hands and wrist action to gain superior leverage over an opponent through flows, locks, and throws. It serves as an excellent self-defense method 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 addresses several defense ranges, 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 help you develop core strength, improve balance and stability, and increase spatial awareness and gross motor control.
