Questions Parents Ask
Kids Martial Arts FAQ
If you don’t see your question here, just mention it in the form and we’ll be sure to cover it when we call.
What if my child is shy, nervous, or not very athletic?
That’s exactly who our program is designed for. Many of our students start out shy or unsure of themselves. Our instructors are patient and experienced with helping kids warm up at their own pace. We focus on encouragement, simple wins, and making class fun so your child feels proud—not pressured.
Will martial arts make my child more aggressive?
No. We teach kids that martial arts is about self-control, respect, and only using techniques as a last resort. We actively coach against bullying and rough play, and we constantly reinforce that real strength means knowing when not to fight.
What should my child wear for the trial?
For the trial, comfortable athletic clothes are perfect—like a t-shirt and shorts or leggings. We’ll go over uniform options during or after the trial, and we also include a free uniform fitting so your child feels like part of the team.
How do class levels and age groups work?
We group kids by age and experience level to keep classes safe, fun, and appropriately challenging. During your child’s first visit, we’ll recommend the best group based on their age, energy level, and experience (if any).
Is there any obligation after the 2-week trial?
No. The trial is a no-obligation way to experience our classes, meet the instructors, and see if it’s a good fit for your family. If you love it, we’ll walk you through membership options. If not, we’ll still be glad your child tried something new.
