Youth Programs
 
 

At the Academy we offer age-specific classes, we offer beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. This enables us to provide personalized instruction in small class groups.

Here is an overview of our programs:

Little Tigers - for children ages 4-6, our program for children at this age level are focuses on improving basic motor and listening skills.

Jr. Kung-Fu - for ages 7 – 12, focuses on physical skills as well as emotional and mental well-being. Children have fun while learning a wide range of skills. This is a comprehensive program culminating with the attainment of a Junior Black Belt.

SELF DISCIPLIN

We begin with self-discipline, or what we like to call a “non-quitting spirit”.   But…before self-discipline can be developed, discipline must come from an external source, your Zai Martial Arts instructor. Once a student starts to achieve, they begin to apply self-discipline, which leads to greater achievement, and achievement develops confidence.

SELF DEFENSE
Self-discipline itself is not enough, we also teach our children the art of self-defense, an important life skill. Children today face more bullies and negative peer pressure then ever before, so it is essential they have the skills necessary to distinguish between good and bad, right or wrong.

This is why at Zai Martial Arts Academy, we teach a realistic, streetwise self-defense system that combines the most effective Martial Arts techniques, so children learn to defend themselves in virtually any situation, whether they are standing up or end up on the ground. They also learn conflict resolution and when they should and shouldn’t use their newfound skills.

Studies have shown that...

Children who learn self-defense become more assertive and less aggressive.
Children who know how to defend themselves typically don't have to since they carry themselves    in a more confident manner.


HEALTY BODY - HEALTY MIND...
Television, Soft drinks, Video Games, and Fast Food
These are just a few of the challenges children face today. Combine these with a decrease in school physical education classes; it’s easy to see why weight problems and obesity among children have more than doubled in our country in the last twenty years.

At Zai Martial Arts Academy, we help children develop a healthy mind and body, so they have the energy and fitness to face life’s challenges, and succeed.

SERIOUS STUFF?
If this sounds like serious stuff…don’t worry! Our children’s classes are taught in a safe, fun and exciting environment, where students are not compared to each other, but rather progress at their own pace. The competition is “from oneself to oneself”.

GETTING STARTED
It’s easy! Have your son or daughter try a private introductory lesson with one of our instructors. Afterwards, you’ll have a consultation to discuss goals, scheduling and our programs. Tuition for our programs average $15 per class.
