5. One of the key aspects of Martial Arts is its focus on practical self-defense techniques. By training with us, your child will learn how to protect themselves in a non-violent manner, using leverage and control to neutralize larger or stronger opponents. This knowledge will not only help them feel safer but also equip them with the skills and mindset to deal with bullying and other challenging situations.

At Atheneum Martial Arts, we prioritize the safety and well-being of all our students, especially when it comes to our younger members. We understand that parents may have concerns about the safety of Martial Arts training, and we would like to address those concerns with the following points:

2. Age-Appropriate Curriculum:

   We have carefully designed our curriculum to be age-appropriate, taking into account the physical and mental development of our students. Our Little Lions and Curious Cubs programs focus on teaching techniques and movements that are suitable for children, minimizing the risk of injury while maximizing their learning experience.

3. Safety Measures and Precautions:

   We enforce strict safety guidelines during all our classes.

Additionally, our facility is equipped with high-quality mats and safety equipment designed to minimize the risk of injury.

We encourage parents to share their concerns with our team, and we're always available to discuss individual needs and make adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure experience for each child.

We ask that our members have a Gi and belt, as well as a rashguard and shorts for no-gi classes. Loaner equipment is available for a small fee.
Mouthguard is recommended.

Our Kids program helps build athletic ability from the ground up and develops existing talent into champions. Your kid doesn’t need to be an athlete to learn how to be one.

Yes! We have a lounge area with couches and seats for parents to observe our sessions. We do ask that the training environment be distraction-free for your kids, so no backseat coaching please!

No! You can pay as your child comes to class, but the vast majority of our parents pay for packages that include training and gear. Please ask the instructor about our packages!

Bringing them to training consistently will be the biggest benefit you can deliver to your children.
In addition to consistent training, helping provide a disciplined and respectful home environment will be not only a big help to the coaching staff, but also help set your child up for life with these skills.
