FALL I MARTIAL ARTS SCHEDULE
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA):
MMA is a full-contact combat sport based on striking, grappling and ground fighting, made up from various combat sports and martial arts from around the world. 
Capoeira:
Capoeira is a unique Afro-Brazilian martial art developed initially by African slaves in Brazil, starting in the colonial period. It is marked by deft, tricky movements often played on the ground or completely inverted. Renowned for its fluidity, grace, and power, Capoeira combines elements of martial-arts, dance, music and acrobatics. It develops strength, coordination, self-confidence, musical skills, flexibility, endurance, confidence and self-awareness. |
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Lil' Dragon Karate Program:
Our Lil’ Dragon Karate Program is designed to provide young children with a warm and nurturing environment to instill the necessary skills, attitudes and mannerisms for them to embrace life with an “ I can do it!” attitude. Our Lil’ Dragon classes are designed for children ages five to seven years of age, to help them develop the essential physical, cognitive, emotional, social and behavioral skills that they will need to embrace life with a positive mental attitude! 
Youth Karate Classes:
These classes are students seven years of age to seventeen years of age (younger students may participate in youth classes if they graduated from the Lil Dragons Program). These classes will cover basic to advanced blocking, punching, and kicking techniques as well as the traditional formal exercise of kata and self defense techniques. 
Tween and Adult Karate Classes:
These classes are intended for anyone student age 12 and older, that has either just began their training in the art of karate or has been studying for some time. These classes will cover basic to advanced blocking, punching, and kicking techniques as well as the traditional formal exercise of kata and self defense techniques. 
Jujitsu:
Often referred to as "The Gentle Art", jujitsu is a system of self-defense designed to overcome aggression through the utilization of escapes, joint manipulations, throws, and constriction techniques. Relying on fundamental principles of balance rather than strength, jujitsu is ideally suited to everyone, regardless of age, sex, or physical abilities. The techniques are intended to address all forms of aggression, yet provide the defender with the ability to determine the level of response appropriate for the circumstances encountered. Students are taught a system of self-defense through which they will develop self-confidence. |
