Help Your Child Develop Important Life Skills

Our eight-week Tiny Tigers programs is designed specifically for children ages 3-4, and teaches them important life skills such as focus, teamwork, self-control, and self-esteem. Students will attend a one-half hour class once a week and will learn traditional karate basics and self-defense, while developing balance, coordination, and timing, using an exciting and fun age-appropriate curriculum!

The program is designed so that it is fun and consistent with the child’s developmental level. The children do not get bored and they look forward to their next class. (Given the age group, parents are strongly encouraged to stay and watch the class.)

Contact our school in Brighton at 461-1070 for additional information, or to enroll your child in our next session!

By enrolling your child in our program, you will increase their coordination and overall fitness, assisting them in all other activities and sports. We inspire goal setting in our students – helping them learn and strive for their next rank. This also applies to studying in order to do better in school.

This educational program is taught through enjoyable activities and challenging exercises. It is an excellent counter-part to formal education. The skills taught in our classroom are invaluable in helping young people achieve their future goals. Best of all, they will have great FUN doing it!

Children develop into responsible, respectful and successful individuals through the constant nurturing and reinforcement of developing positive character traits. They learn the value of goal setting and the reward of committing themselves to their goals. They learn to respect and be respected as this leads to a great deal of self-esteem. Concentration and focus evolve as the child begins to progress. This will be evident in his or her karate, but just as important, in their academic studies.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL FOR MY CHILD?

Step one in choosing a school is to clearly understand what you want you or your child to gain from learning the martial arts. Is it a light recreation? Then a community center program may suffice. Is it self-defense or personal development? If so, then a full-time professional school will be more suitable. Many parents view the martial arts as part of their child’s educational development. With a good professional school, this is very possible.

Step two is to recognize that choosing a school is really choosing an instructor. Be sure to visit the school and watch the instructor work with other children of the same age. Every school is very different because every instructor is different. Don’t get confused by claims of black belt degrees, tournament wins or martial art styles. The only style that matters is the teaching style of the instructor and how your child will respond to him or her.

Finally, trust your instincts. A professional school will have a family atmosphere, lots of smiles and be well kept. You’ll feel comfortable with the personnel and the facility.

While United Martial Arts Center may not end up being the closest school to your house, when it comes to the safety and education of your child, an extra ten-minute drive can make a world of difference in the outcome.
