Martial Arts For Children
Our kids Martial Arts classes in Merrillville, IN are focused on character development, physical fitness and self-defense, rather than fighting. The overarching goal at our Martial Arts school is to build a child’s self confidence (become a “karate kid”)
Therefore, our training emphasizes encouragement and positive correction and we work hard to ensure all students are treated with dignity and shown respect.
When your child becomes a Martial Arts student, they join a community that works together towards increased self-esteem, competency in self defense, better concentration, greater self discipline, improved physical health, and enhanced leadership skills.
At our Martial Arts school we support each other in pursuing these goals and celebrate each other’s successes.
