Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for Kids at Hoy’s Martial Arts Academy
At Hoy’s Martial Arts Academy we combine the most effective skills and training of all the disciplines that we study into the curriculum for our kid's program, and teach them in age appropriate ways for children ages
4 through 12. Classes will incorporate bully prevention, self defense, and jiu-jitsu.
Through this system, your child will:
• Learn to defend themselves
• Gain Self Confidence
• Learn Self-discipline
• Respect themselves and others
• Explore their physical potential
• Learn healthy habits
• Improve their self-control
• Develop a positive attitude
• Improve focus and attention
• Learn the importance of Goals
Our instructors work with YOU, the parent, to ensure the qualities we are working on with the kids are translating to home, school, and other settings as well. In fact, we have a system of adding a colored stripe to each child’s belt when they have accomplished one of these goals. But we know that different places cause different behaviors, so we don’t only look at how they are doing during our classes, but we ask for your feedback and opinions on how they are doing with the goals at home, school, and any other setting! In addition, your child will be told that you (or our instructors) can ALWAYS take away their stripe(s) if the child’s behavior warrants. And we mean it! Your child would then have to work on the goal to re-earn their stripe, and the instructor will talk to you and the child, and work with you to give your child examples of how they can earn back the stripe.
Why have your child train with us?
• We are a FULL time academy! This means we are able to offer a variety of class to meet your busy schedule!
• Relax in our lounge while you are waiting for your child to finish class. You can catch up on work or emails with our FREE WI-FI, and enjoy a cup of coffee.
• Younger children can also stay in the lounge while older brother or sister is taking class. We have a variety of pre-school toys and books to keep them busy and entertained while they are waiting!
• Kids Classes are fun and exciting, and are tailored to the ages of the children in each class. We understand that children learn differently at different ages, and our age level classes are designed to ensure an appropriate mental and physical level for your child.
• Hoy’s Martial Arts instructors know that every child is different, with their own individual strengths and weaknesses. Our greatest accomplishment is helping every child to thrive at Hoy’s Martial Arts Academy, and our teaching methods reflect that!
• Our instructors are creative in their activities to reach goals, and your child will feel more like they are playing than working! Instead, they will be challenged to reach new heights in their physical, mental, and character development.
