Family & Children's
Mixed Martial Art Classes
Self-Defense
and Life Skills for Children!
Convenient Training Time For Parents!
Instructors pair adults with adults, and children with children.
In the photo above, we have 8 children and 8 adults on the floor.
Only
those adults with their own children in the class are allowed to
participate.
The Family Mixed Martial Arts Program provides similar training as our adult MMA program, however, it is optimized for children & young teenagers. It also allows parents to train in the same class as their children if they want to. However, parents have the option of just watching the classes, or simply dropping off their children until class is over. We understand family schedules need to be flexible, so attend as many or as few classes as you like every week!
This class provides a friendly, safe and enjoyable format of comprehensive training for children at least 7 years old and above. It provides children realistic self-defense training with a focus on fitness, discipline, respect and concentration! Develops essential skills and attitudes in preparation for the many physical and psychological challenges they will face during the rest of their lives! The training has a very strong emphasis on safety.
Life
Skills For Children!
7 years old and
above
Every parent wants the best for their children, and to prepare them for all the challenges that they will face in the future. Effective self-defense skills are certainly important in today's world full of undesirable people. However, the long term benefits of our children's curriculum provides much more than just self-defense skills.
Our program provides your child key traits for future success and happiness including:
- The confidence &
self-esteem to take on new challenges, expect the best from themselves, and
to ignore negative peer pressure, drugs, and other unhealthy
influences.
- The focus and discipline to
keep going and succeed in whatever they have decided to achieve. Overcoming
the habit of quitting, and turning the fear of failure into a fun process of
learning.
- The habit of setting and
achieving intermediate goals, and balancing work (training) and play (fun
time).
- Social skills including
communication, listening, giving and receiving, courtesy and respect.
- Leadership skills (at
advanced levels) including taking responsibility, being organized, being a
good example, speaking to and leading a group.
- Honor, which is simply doing what is right.
Proper martial art training is especially suited for children with the following common challenges:
- Overweight or frail
children will become physically fit, healthy, and coordinated. Our training
will provide a foundation for a healthy and energetic life.
- Shy children become more
confident and social. Our carefully structured group training and belt
promotion system provides a series of positive experiences that reinforce
your child's self-esteem and confidence.
- Overactive
children learn to channel their energy and focus their attention in
a positive way.
- Children with discipline
problems will develop self-control, listening skills, and learn to follow
directions. We enforce
good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home
and in school. We work with parents to provide a consistent approach to
discipline issues.
- Of course, children that, for whatever reason, have to deal with school yard bullies, excessive peer pressure, or other situations that require real self-defense skills.
Most parents do everything
they can to teach life skills to their children. It's not an
easy task because this type of education is not found in our schools. Schools
provide knowledge for a career, not skills for a life. It's not
found on our football, soccer or little league fields either. Team sports tend
to focus on how to win a game, not how to win in life. Teaching your child the
life skills of goal setting, focus, discipline, confidence, courtesy and honor, at a young age,
will have a massive impact on the level of success and happiness he or she
enjoys in later life.
The Family Mixed Martial Art Program
This class has a strong emphasis on the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has repeatedly proven effective for small or weaker individuals defending against much larger and stronger attackers. Perfect for children! The Family MMA program is taught and/or supervised by David Arnebeck, the Founder and Head Instructor of the Warrior’s Cove, who is also the student of the legendary Rickson Gracie! Rickson Gracie is widely considered to be the best MMA fighter in the world with an undefeated record of over 400 matches! Rickson espouses strong family values and a healthy life-style. He is the epitome of discipline, honor, determination and sportsmanship. Good qualities to pass on to our children!
If your child ever has the unfortunate need for self-defense, you want their training to WORK! Mixed Martial Art has been repeatedly proven as superior to single-style based systems in realistic fighting situations. FBI and Law Enforcement Statistics, as well as thousands of mixed martial arts competitions show that comprehensive training is needed, especially ground fighting where over 70% of real fights end up, on the ground!
Comprehensive training must include defense against standing strikes, standing grappling, ground strikes, and most importantly, ground grappling. Most martial art styles focus on standing strikes only! Our MMA program provides effective training in all four areas.
