Start your Child's Martial Arts journey with classes designed to give your children a solid foundation.

Our youth martial arts program strives to give your children the very best in self-defense training. We have gathered the core aspects of multiple styles and combined them together with fun drills, games, and fitness for your children. With a high emphasis on respect and self-control, we want to teach children how to have a Black Belt attitude in life, not just in martial arts class.  With regular competitions in grappling and kickboxing both in school and out, we have an active competition team as well.  Our children have won statewide, east coast, national and international titles. Classes are for Children ages 7–14 years old.

Currently, we have classes four days a week.

Monday and Wednesdays at 5:00 pm for our Lil Ninjas class for ages 4-6 years old and then 5:30 pm for our Grappling and Self Defense YMA Classes. A great combination

Tuesday and Thursday evening at 5:15 pm we have our striking and kickboxing classes.

Our classes follow a schedule of rotation through each of the subjects we cover, Kickboxing, Grappling, and Self-Defense. Now with specific days for each style we have given you and your children the option to specialize in one style or enroll in our Unlimited Youth Martial Arts Membership and join all of them for a well rounded aproach to martial arts. Our style mixes elements of Krav Maga, American Kickboxing, Russian Sambo, BJJ, and F.A.S.T Defense.

LOOKING FOR A GREAT WAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN MARTIAL ARTS, SELF-CONTROL, RESPECT, AND GET IN SHAPE THIS YEAR?

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

In our youth martial arts classes, we focus on creating an environment that inspires learning, respect, and confidence. Our drills, class structure, even our games are designed and crafted each week for this very purpose. Everything is done with our main goal in mind, to empower your children to live confident and healthy lives. We strive to be more than a simple self-defense studio that teaches martial arts. We strive to be a positive influence in your child’s life.

WHY YOUTH MARTIAL ARTS?

Martial Arts Classes are an easy way for you to put your child or children into a positive situation where they will learn self-control, respect, honor and valuable self-defense skills. With life moving at the pace it does, it can be hard to track the influences both positive and negative in our children’s lives. At Edge, we put your children in an environment where they can learn respect and self-control in a fun way. They interact with other children who have been learning the same things for years and see the benefits.

Dealing with ADD or ADHD? Youth Martial Arts classes are a great way to direct your child’s energy into something positive. We teach children how to control themselves and defend themselves.

Worried about bullies at school? Or maybe you are worried about your child becoming the bully? Youth Martial Arts classes are one of the best ways to deal with both scenarios!
