Beginners -Adults, Children, and Families

This is a class designed just for beginners. Have you always wanted to try the martial arts but never got around to it? Are you worried that other people might know more than you and you might look foolish? We have a class that specializes in teaching people with no martial arts experience whatsoever. You don't have to be in shape or flexible at all. In fact the majority of people who join our classes are not in shape to begin with. No one is too old for this class either. It will teach you all of the basics you need to join into the regular classes and you will get all of the one on one attention that you need. Students stay in this class until they are completely ready to join the regular classes and have all of the skills they need. This class is only for beginners so you won't have to worry about anyone else knowing more than you or looking funny. We cover warming up, stretching, terminology, basic blocks, basic kicks, basic punches and basic rules. There's no better time to start training, so enroll today!

Lil Dragons Ages 3-4 and a parent or friend.

Little Ninjas Ages 5-6

This is a unique specialized program with an age specific curriculum that is professionally designed to teach children important life skills in a fun, exciting, and enriching manner. Our secret to teaching your child coordination, concentration and self-control is a unique method we like to call "Edu-tainment." This uses the excitement and fun of the Little Ninja martial arts skills to teach key life lessons you would want your child to know.

Your child will learn much more than just kicking and punching. It's true that Little Ninja activities will keep your child physically fit and that many of the group activities show children the benefits of good behavior. But, best of all, your child's class curriculum will also help them see the value of teamwork, good manners and trying their best outside of the classroom.

The eight main life skills that are taught in the Little Ninja program are:

Little Ninjas reinforces your family values. Many of the same concepts you are teaching your child at home will be consistently reinforced through classroom discussions in your child's program. Topics such as good manners (which include keeping hands and feet to themselves), respect for one's self and others, following directions the first time and more are taught! Little Ninjas memorize short bible verses at each belt level that they must recite at their graduation.

Make your child safer with Personal Development lessons. Valuable personal development lessons have been built into the Little Ninjas curriculum. Your child will participate in discussions on: "Stranger Danger", "When to call 911", "Fire Safety", "Street Safety" and more.

Here's how your child will learn to set goals, build confidence and have a positive attitude. At the end of each class, the students who can demonstrate the skills covered in that days class receive a special skill stripe. The skill stripes are an achievement reward and work as an incentive for your child. They can't wait to get each new stripe. Once your child has earned all eight stripes, they are eligible to graduate to the next belt level. This helps your child see the benefit in trying their best.

Little Ninjas helps prepare your child for life. Little Ninjas will improve your child's basic motor skills, as well as your child's positive mental skills. These skills will help your child enter society with a confident and enthusiastic outlook. Your child will become a better student in school, a better listener at home and feel more ambitious towards his/her future goals.

We believe the time between three and six years old are the most important time in your child's development. Let us help enhance your child's mental and physical development in a fun, positive and motivating way. Our caring instructors are will help prepare them for life. Class size is limited, so call now to reserve your space.

Kid Kicks  - 7 - 8 Year olds

This class is for seven and eight year olds and covers the same curriculum as our childrens classes, but at a 7-8 year old pace. This class incorporates skill stripes just like the Little Ninjas, only on a more sophisticated level. The eight skill stripes of the Kickin Kids are:

Concentration Perseverance Courage Intensity

Speed Agility  Technique  Flexibility

Having our children learn in an age appropriate manner allows them to develop and learn in a much more productive way. Just as you wouldn't put 2nd graders and sixth graders together in school, so should you not do so in martial arts. Instead as they learn with their own peer group, they are able to thrive.

Children's Classes Ages 9 - 12

Our children's classes offer traditional and modern martial arts skills in a disciplined yet fun environment. Kid's will have a blast while getting into shape, making new friends, learning self defense and self discipline. Our caring instructors will help them with any concerns and give them the extra attention they need. Children are required to clean their rooms on weekends and are expected to live the life of a martial artist with respect and dignity. Our one of a kind program will help your child improve grades, have a positive and helpful attitude and teach them to do things the first time they are told.

One of the great parts of our program is that we have a very Flexible Schedule. Classes meet six days a week. Students are asked to come at least two times a week but if they want to come more then the option is there.

Students in our program develop themselves mentally and physically. They are more confident in social settings and emerge as leaders amongst their peers. This is extremely important when faced with peer pressure and independent decisions. Giving them the tools they need to make proper decisions at an early age will prepare them for the future, whatever it may hold. After several months of training, students are asked to take on more responsibilities such as leading stretching exercises, helping others, etc. As they move through the ranks and achieve goals their confidence will soar. They will attain a humble yet assertive attitude.

Goal Setting is another important part of our children's program. Children learn about long term and short term goals. They learn to achieve long term goals by setting and achieving the short term goals. This also helps them to have a better understanding of delayed gratification and hard work. The amazing part about this is that they will have so much fun doing it. It is a dream for the parents and the children.

Self Defense is very important in the day and age we live in. Girls and boys alike will learn how to defend themselves in many different situations. More importantly they will learn how to avoid those situations. Dealing with bullies can be very traumatizing for a child. We will help them to learn how to end the bullying without fighting. They will learn assertive Conflict Resolution for these situations. They will also attain the tools needed to defend themselves if it comes to that. Stranger Awareness and Assertive Response are tools that will be invaluable to your child.

Children will improve grades as they learn to focus and concentrate. As their discipline improves they will listen better and do things without being asked. Schoolwork comes first and students are required to show us their report cards at each grading period.

We have a reward system for good grades and even the teenagers get into it. All of our students are required to memorize Bible verses for each belt and must recite them as part of his/her testing. One of our students was an average student getting A's, B's and C's. After he began training he dedicated himself and earned all A's. He couldn't wait to show us.

Your child will be having so much fun that she/he won't even realize how good of shape they are getting in. Fitness is a wonderful part of training in the martial arts that comes naturally. When most kids want to play video games, our students are in class getting in shape, gaining flexibility, building muscle, coordination, stamina, balance and control. They will perform better in other sports, sleep better and be happier healthier children.

All of our instructors love working with children. They are qualified professionals with backgrounds in psychology, early childhood development, nursing, chemistry and history. They are also experienced martial artists and members of our instructors training program and continuing education programs.

Olympic Development Team

This is our competition team. We are members of USA Taekwondo which is the governing body for Olympic Tae Kwon Do in the United States under the US Olympic committee. We compete under the USAT and WTF (World Tae Kwon Do Federation) rules. Many of our students are state, national and international champions. The long term goal of our ODT members is the Olympics. This training is very intense and only for the most committed competitor.

Competition is not for everyone and is not what the martial arts are about, but competition can give you a rare glimpse inside yourself to see what you can truly push yourself to be. Phillipians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." We believe that. Someone once said that most people look up and admire the stars, a champion climbs a mountain and grabs one.

 School Talks

At Champion Tae Kwon Do Academy, we believe that education is of the utmost importance in a child's development. For this reason we stress that children must do their best in school and must bring us their report cards each time they receive them. Students are also required to have their teacher sign an evaluation before they may graduate to the next level. We believe that a martial artist is a martial artist at all times and not just at the Dojang. Children learn discipline, respect, focus and responsibility through training in the martial arts. Through this training they learn goal setting and perseverance. As a result, grades improve.

Because we believe so strongly in education, we offer free school talks to any class or school that invites us. These programs are fun for the kids and at the same time very help[ful. Topics covered include:

Non-violent Conflict Resolution                     Bullies                                           Personal Responsibility

Integrity                                                      Focus                                           Goal Setting

Respect                                                     Thinking Before Acting                     Empowerment
