The information presented here in our

What style of martial
arts do you teach?
USA Martial Arts teaches a multi-style
martial arts system. Our original system is strongly influenced by
American Martial Arts and Tae Kwon Do. We added Muay Thai,
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Judo. Our martial arts training curriculum is proven to
develop a very versatile martial arts athlete and also provides
a constant challenge for learning and developing new skills.
It’s very progressive, exciting and dynamic, while also being
very practical and effective. On the performance side of martial
arts, we are a licensed XMA School which also allows us to
incorporate the extreme martial arts (XMA) training skills and weapons into our
curriculum.
Do you have age specific
martial arts training?
Yes, we have martial arts training classes for a variety of ages
and stages of development. Our youngest students are called Lil’
Dragons (ages 3 to 6). This program presents a fun, yet very
well structured approach to develop early stage motor skills,
better listening abilities, and shows kids how to work well with
others. We also teach simple Stranger Danger & Awareness, along
with exciting martial arts games that build strength, agility
and aims their endless energy in a positive direction.
Our Juniors Achievers Program (ages 7 to 14)
teaches goal-setting and is a great physical exercise program.
We get kids into great shape and build their self-esteem and
overall self-confidence. We teach our kids valuable life skills
that enhance solid character development and stress academic
achievement. The majority of our Junior Black Belts are high
academic achievers and well rounded athletes.
Our Adult Peak Performers are recapturing
the energy and stamina of their youth. Most will tell you that
they are currently in the best shape of their lives. It’s a
versatile well rounded fitness program. Three key areas of our
fitness training include, flexibility, strength and muscle tone,
along with stamina and endurance.
No matter what age, all martial arts students benefit
from the emphasis on conditioning their mind, body and spirit.
Mentally, students are developing the ability to concentrate and
stay focused on their goals. Physically, they are becoming
healthier, happier and more fit, while learning valuable skills
of self-defense. When it comes to the spirit, martial arts
training triggers our positive emotions and teaches us to better
control the negative ones.
Do I need to be in good
physical shape to begin martial arts training?
Absolutely not. The best time to start your
journey is right now! Our basic programs are designed to lay a
strong foundation of skill and conditioning. Whether you’re a
beginner to the arts, or you’ve had previous experience, each
martial arts student will progress at the pace that is right for them. All
new members are guided through a basic martial arts training routine that is
modified to fit each individual's needs and desires. Of course,
if you’ve been an inactive adult it is always best to make sure
you are healthy enough to participate in this type of activity.
How many times a week do
students usually attend martial arts training class?
New martial arts students generally train two times a
week in our basic training and then are offered more classes and
curriculum options once they qualify for a more advanced
martial arts program. We offer martial arts classes for all ages and levels of ability six
days a week, Monday through Saturday. Your Sensei and/or program
director will help you create an action plan to achieve your
desired results.
Why is martial arts training supposed to
be so good for you?
It has been found that people who
systematically train in the
martial arts often see dramatic and continual improvements in
many areas of their lives. Improvements in self confidence, self
discipline and overall self esteem are common. The many physical
and health benefits realized through martial arts training have a positive
long term impact and value to people of all ages including
greater flexibility, endurance and energy, strength and muscle tone. USA Martial Arts Champions walk tall, stand proud and lead
by example with the energy for excellence.
Why is the martial arts training good
for kids suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder?
Kids with A.D.D./Attention Deficit Disorder
are usually very active mentally as well as physically. Our
martial arts classes are fast paced, fun and filled with a
variety of activities. This type of environment usually allows
kids with A.D.D. to excel. Not only do they like the activity,
they enjoy the positive encouragement and rewards they receive
from our instructors. We have an incentive driven martial arts program for
kids, and they enjoy the step by step method of learning and
growing.
