We support focus, discipline, and cognitive development through safe & structured martial arts training. We promote collaboration, teamwork, & (peaceful) conflict resolution, including de-escalation tools, through our community of instructors & self defense advocates.
 
Martial Arts-real life connection supports:

  • SEL alignment (social emotional learning)

  • Anti-bullying support & peaceful conflict resolution & de-escalation skills 

  • Executive functioning development

  • Healthy physical outlet

RESET: Regulate → Release → Regulate

  • 5-minute focus block

  • 1-minute shake-out

  • Reset

  • Bow

  • Continue

Key skills: Students learn to regulate & control energy instead of being controlled by it, while helping others do it too.
Outcome: That’s emotional regulation training disguised as fun.

Rules are simple and reinforced early & often:

  • Eyes on coach & hands to yourself

  • Respect yourself, your environment, & all living beings 

  • Communicate with your partners to make sure everyone is safe 

  • Strive to be the best student & best teacher you can be

  • Listen the first time
