Flying Dragons: Ages 4-8
Flying Dragons is the Foundation Program at American Martial Arts Academy! It is specifically designed around our youngest student's physical and emotional needs! Flying Dragons are not training to become Black Belts, instead they are building on solid foundations in both martial arts, and "SOCIAL SKILLS".
"SOCIAL SKILLS" are incoporated into each and every class, and build on the principals of character. This helps students succeed in martial arts and everyday life. My goal is for them to overcome fears, and any challenge they may encounter in class, other sports, school, home, and throughout their entire lives. Our "SOCIAL SKILLS" program develops:
Attitude & Respect Concentration Self-Esteem Persistence
Achievement Focus & Control Motivation Respect & Discipline
Through the use of our unique "Animal Curriculum", Flying Dragons maintain a "Focused-but-Fun" atmosphere, and build on a solid foundation in martial arts. When they are older and no longer challenged by the Flying Dragons Program, they will graduate into our Youth Martial Arts Program, and at that time, begin training towards their Black Belt!
Youth: Ages 9 - Teen
Our youth Martial Arts program is second to none. You will never see a "Black Belt" from our academy, who doesn’t have a true ability to defend himself/herself, as well as have outstanding character and a great attitude.
Too many McDojos are handing out Black Belts after 2 years, and you’ll often see Black Belts around 7 years old. That will never happen at American Martial Arts Academy! Earning your Black Belt here means… You are a True Black Belt! My students can comprehend and know the true meaning of being a Black Belt.
I focus on practical, effective, and realistic self-defense/combat skills. Classes are dynamic and intense, and rank testing is very demanding, however, just like in my Flying Dragons program, I maintain a “Focused-But-Fun” atmosphere. My students feel comfortable in class, and are not intimidated to learn. Students know they can have fun, while still maintaining solid discipline and learning.
Students “Want” to come to class. My Youth Program challenges students physically, mentally, and emotionally. They are training to become a Black Belt someday, and it takes at least 4 years. It’s not always an easy path, but I motivate and guide my students, as well as challenge and train them to become successful in martial arts and in life. Individual growth physically, mentally, and in character, are high focal points of my Youth Program..
Unlike other schools, I don't "push" testing on my students. If a student doesn't feel ready to test, they make a mature decision to wait another 3 months. There are NO Tournaments, Black Belt Clubs, Affiliations, or boring traditional forms to to memorize as well.
Adults: Teen & Up
Adult programs at American Martial Arts Academy provide a very unique experience for adults interested in training. They are informal, intense, dynamic, and cater to the physical, mental, and emotional needs of adults.
Adults are on a "First-Name-Basis" with me. They don’t need another “Know-it-all-Boss” telling them what to do. With so many responsibilities each day between work, family, and bills, they don’t need some instructor yelling at them to memorize some so-called Ancient Karate Form, or because they didn’t go to the tournament last week. We salute ONLY to an AMERICAN FLAG, and don't waste time on pointless traditions and forms.
We offer an environment where adults can be greatly challenged, learn realistic, practical, and effective methods of self-defense/combat, get in great shape, relieve stress, and develop a true sense of accomplishment doing something unique and fun for them. I also offer "non-ranking" programs for adults who just want to train and/or and get in great shape.
Adults can customize their training exclusively to their desires and goals too. We offer "FIGHTER'S WORKOUTS", "ESCRIMA", "MARTIAL ARTS", "COLD STEEL FITNESS", and "SEEKERS" programs, each one unique from the others, but all coincide with each other.
