Youth Martial Arts Programs

Ages 4 - 14

Our Youth Martial Arts Program at A.B. Martial Arts is carefully designed to help young students develop confidence, discipline, and essential self-defense skills. Through age-appropriate classes, we guide students from basic techniques to more advanced drills, ensuring they build a strong foundation in martial arts. Our program emphasizes the importance of respect, teamwork, and perseverance, allowing students to grow both mentally and physically. By cultivating these qualities, our young martial artists are prepared to face challenges in the dojo and beyond with resilience and confidence.

Ages 4 - 5

Building Foundations: Introducing Basics and Instincts for Young Martial Artists

In the Ages 4-5 class, I teach students the basics. We start by learning how to warm up correctly, including proper exercise routines and stretching. Students are introduced to various kicking positions, punching forms, and the fighting stance. They also learn how to get up from a fallen position and basic defensive moves. We cover offensive combinations (or Katas) commonly used in our style. This class focuses on developing instincts so self-defense becomes natural, preparing them for the Ages 6-9 class.

Advancing Skills: Emphasizing Responsibility, Accountability, and Preparedness

In this class, the warm-up, along with 3-5 rounds of kicking and punching, is pushed at a faster pace. Students are expected to pay attention and keep up as they are no longer in the little kids' class. I hold them accountable and teach responsibilities such as counting for class, helping new students, and organizing equipment. As students progress, more responsibilities are added. Drills involve more contact to help students become comfortable with punches and kicks. Full equipment is required for physical drills, but the mental aspect is also tested. To advance to the next belt rank, students must undergo testing.

Mastering Discipline: Building Leadership, Teamwork, and Confidence Through Rigorous Training

In this class, students are expected to be fully aware of the dojo rules. Misbehavior and fooling around are not tolerated; those who don’t follow the rules will not last. Discipline is crucial, with a strong focus on sparring and sparring drills. Inconsistent students won't be allowed to spar, participate in competitions, or test for their belts. Emphasis is on learning as a team, being a leader, and supporting partners and the dojo. Success in this class prepares students for uncomfortable or dangerous social situations, giving them the confidence to avoid them.
