ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
PARENTING YOUNG CHILDREN IS A REAL CHALLENGE.
You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.
The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the dojo. Junior martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.
STUDYING MARTIAL ARTS BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Young children who learn martial arts find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
YOUNG MARTIAL ARTS STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO FOCUS
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
MARTIAL ARTS HELPS KIDS LEARN TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION
Martial arts instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the power of persistence.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.
KIDS WHO STUDY MARTIAL ARTS LEARN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.

So incredibly thankful that our family found The 1-2 Punch. EVERYTHING you guys do is amazing!! I'm not solely interested in my daughter learning self defense, but more so life skills, social skills and character building. Your school and staff are incredible and we just love what you've done for our family. The experience you have and the wisdom you share is second to none. We are so happy and proud to know you and be part of your organization. You are a rare breed Master Domino and we are all better having your influence in our daily lives!! Thank you for ALL you do!!

The prices are affordable and I highly recommend coming here. Thank you 1-2 punch, we appreciate everything you do for us!

Can't believe I haven't left a review for the place I spend maybe the second most time next to my actual job. My son and I are into our 4th year with Master Domino and staff. In that time, I managed to lose 40 lbs at one point, (a lot is back, but the holidays just passed!) earn my black belt, and am now an assistant instructor. My son, who plays many sports, loves karate most, and is on his way to his black belt. My wife now does kickboxing here as well. The staff are wonderful people, (me included) very helpful, and accomodating. Honestly, we feel like family. Health and family, what more could you ask for?
