AT OUR REGULAR FACILITY, WE TEACH ALL LEVELS AND AGES OF STUDENTS FROM AGE FOUR AND OLDER. THE SCHOOL HAS OVER 50 STUDENTS WITH 35 OF THEM BEING CHILDREN. ON AVERAGE, WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN WHO PARTICIPATE IN OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. STUDENTS ATTEND CLASSES REGULARLY AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO LEARNING THE VALUES OF MARTIAL ARTS SUCH AS DISCIPLINE, RESPECT AND POSITIVE EXPECTANCY. IN OUR CHILDRENS' PROGRAM, STUDENTS LEARN PHYSICAL COORDINATION SKILLS, SELF CONTROL, FOCUS, COMMUNICATION SKILLS AS WELL AS HEALTHY EATING AND LIVING HABITS. IN ADDITION, CHILDREN LEARN AGE-APPROPRIATE SELF-DEFENSE AND SAFETY SKILLS. THESE INCLUSE, WHAT TO DO WHEN LOST, BEING HOME ALONE, BEING SUBJECT TO PEER PRESSURE, GETTING HELP FROM ADULTS, AS WELL AS SAFETY AT THE BEACH OR AT HOLIDAY EVENTS. OLDER CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT HOW TO DEAL WITH BULLYING, AND PHYSICAL SKILLS APPROPRIATE FOR DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. ADULTS LEARN MANY OF THE SAME VALUABLE SKILLS AS THE CHILDREN AS WELL AS MORE PHYSICAL SKILLS SUCH AS SELF-DEFENSE AGAINST SINGLE OR MULTIPLE ASSAILANTS, WITH OR WITHOUT WEAPONS. IN ADDITIONAL TO ONGOING CLASSES AT OUR PRIMARY LOCATION, MANY SELF-DEFENSE AND KARATE CLASSES ARE TAUGHT AT COMMUNITY LOCATIONS.
