We understand how hard it is to raise children these days.
The worries parents can have for their kids are both serious and startling – being bullied by other kids at school, peer pressure to try drugs and alchohol, sexual predators and the adult images in both the popular media and online.
Children today have to deal with challenges that are overwhelming. Sadly, it is nearly impossible to shield your children from these ever-present negative influences. But, there is something you can do to help them deal with the many challenges they face.
Many parents have already discovered that martial arts training is one of the most beneficial activities in which your child can participate. A martial arts school is a place where a child can learn self-control, respect, and get in shape, all in a safe and fun environment.
By enrolling your child in our martial arts classes, you'll be helping them learn how to make positive choices. Plus, you'll be giving them a safe place where they can develop the confidence to do what is right.

"The difference in our children is visible. Their attitudes and our family life have changed for the better. We often discuss class happenings, and our daughter and I practice techniques with each other. It is very important to my wife and I that our children stay active, focused, and enjoy what they are doing. VALOR Martial Arts Academy continues to keep our children 'sharp' and full of 'knowledge'."

The Life-Changing Positive Benefits Our Martial Arts Program Provides
Every year, parents like you bring their children to enroll in our children's martial arts program. And every year, those children reap the rewards that our properly instructed martial art programs provides.
In our martial arts program, your child will improve their confidence, increase their focus, and develop more self-control.
We can say this with confidence because we have personally witnessed the positive effects our programs have provided for children just like your own.
We help children develop life-skills that will take them far beyond the four walls of our martial art school – benefits that will undoubtedly last them a lifetime.
 |
Martial Arts Training Builds Confidence: By learning how to protect themselves, your children will develop confidence in their ability to handle life's challenges. In turn, their improved confidence will give them the courage to say "no" to negative influences. |
|
|
Martial Arts Training Increases Focus: We will help your child increase their focus by giving them clear goals and showing them how to reach those goals through hard work and being consistent. (Of course, they won't realize they're learning focus because our classes are so much fun! But keep that to yourself – it'll be our little secret!) |
|
|
Martial Arts Training Develops Self-Control: Kids learn self-control in the martial arts by learning how important it is to have respect, both for themselves and for others. Martial arts training teaches that in order to get respect, you first have to give it. Once your child learns this important lesson, their self-control will naturally increase. |
|
|
Martial Arts Training Instills Discipline: Discipline is "doing what you must do, when you have to do it, whether you feel like it or not." Discipline is desparately needed in all areas of life at all ages, from grade school student to adult. The demanding exercises of martial arts training will give your child a vehicle to develop this crucial life skill. |
|
|
Martial Arts Training Cultivates Courage: Life can be difficult, and is quite a struggle at times. The person who is used to overcoming obstacles and has acquired the habit of facing challenges is the one who is more likely to succeed. This is why it is so important to develop that habit of courage early one – so that later in life a person will more easily face those difficulties with a positive outlook and a self assurance that they can indeed be overcome. Our martial arts kids program provides young children with an excellent and safe opportunity to safely learn how to face those fears and blast right through them. |
Positive Role Models Who Will Encourage Your Child to Succeed
Kids need strong role models who set a positive example for them to follow. Yet, many parents find that kids can't look up to professional athletes anymore – so where can they turn for positive examples to follow?
Our answer to this question is our professional staff of caring instructors. We honestly believe our martial art instructors are some of the best role models your child could have.

" At home I have witnessed my two girls behaving better and taking the lessons they learn weekly at class into their daily lives. I am very pleased that I decided to send my kids to VALOR Martial Arts Academy "
I would like to thank the instructors and the faculty at VALOR Martial Arts Academy for the great work they are doing teaching my two daughters Nicoletta(8) and Alessandra(6) MuayThai. I've been fortunate to see my kids perform first hand and watch them develop their skills from one class to the next in Muay Thai. The classes are enjoyable for the kids because they not only learn the techniques of Muay Thai but also play a game or two and learn a self defense technique that could help them in a real life situation. My girls enjoy the Muay Thai classes so much they ask me to train with them at home so they can progress even further in the art. They just can't seem to get enough of it and I admire their zeal.
But it doesn't stop there at VALOR Martial Arts Academy, they also go into character development for the children. At the end of each class they sit down and talk with the kids about being an upstanding human being and teach them the meaning of such valued words as respect, integrity, honesty, gratitude, commitment, etc..
At home I have witnessed my two girls behaving better and taking the lessons they learn weekly at class into their daily lives. I am very pleased that I decided to send my kids to VALOR Martial Arts Academy and will be sending my other two children once they are ready to take Muay Thai in the future. Thanks again for your instruction and commitment to my two kids."

Experience has shown us that kids respond to our martial art teachers in way that no other coach or instructor can match. Because we realize how much our students look up to us, we work hard to set a positive example for them by living the martial arts principles of honesty, integrity, courage, kindness, and self-control.
As you know, children are hard-wired to seek attention and approval. So, when kids see positive behaviors demonstrated by our instructors, they are strongly driven to display those same behaviors in their own actions.
We value your privacy and will never sell your address to anyone.

But, it doesn't stop there – our martial art classes come with a "built-in" reward system that will encourage your child to act as they should. This "built-in" reward system is our belt-rank progression program. Children in our programs know they are expected to behave at home and at school in order to progress to their next belt rank.
This "one-two punch" of providing inspiring role models and giving your child positive feedback works amazingly well to help children improve their behavior. To date, we know of no other extracurricular activity that provides kids with such incredible incentives for displaying good behavior.
And, it works. Just visit our school and ask some of the parents who have had their children enrolled in our programs.
When you do, you'll hear story after story of how our programs have helped their children improve their behavior and achieve greater success. Parents share these stories with us all the time, and frankly we're quite proud to have had a small part in improving each child's life.

He has learned, through VALOR Martial Arts, how to protect himself, that martial arts is about respect, as well as how to set goals and work on accomplishing them.The instructors at VALOR Martial Arts incorporate fun and learning into each karate class. They teach the kids how to focus on the task at hand with great effectiveness. At the end of each class they gather around for "mat talk" in which they talk about the meaning of karate and how being strong means both physically and mentally strong. They set realistic goals for the next class, which the children can accomplish during that week.
Aiden loves going to every class because he knows that he will learn, have fun and learn to protect himself and that is the same reasons my wife and I love taking him. VALOR Martial Arts created a unique curriculum, which includes the learning of martial arts, respect and having fun into a family atmosphere. They make it a point to know everyone by name and you can always count on a smiling face to greet you when you walk in. My wife and I cannot say enough about VALOR Martial Arts Academy except that we LOVE it!!"

My son Colin is 13 year old boy with Aspergers and severe ADHD. Since he has begun taking Muay Thai at VALOR Martial Arts Academy, I have seen improvements in his behavior. It has helped to manage his "ticks" and modify his sensory issues. Colin loves attending as many classes as he can both in the childrens and adult classes. He thinks it tons of fun and especially enjoys the one-on-one sparring. He can work on perfecting the basics in the "Basics" class and also challenge himself in the "Warriors" class. VALOR offers variety from class to class which keeps him excited and enthusiastic for each new lesson. He never gets bored and that's saying alot.

As a parent I spent several years looking for a reputable martial arts school that could help guide my children along their journey into the martial arts. I found everything I was looking for in Valor Martial Arts Academy. The children's classes are exciting, motivational, and full of encouragement. So many schools treat martial arts as a purely individual endeavor, but Valor brings teamwork into every lesson. Infused into the actual techniques are teachings on relaxation, respect, hard work, bully proofing, and real world child safety. In just one month I have seen improvements in my sons concentration, attitude, and physical fitness, and technique. Thank you Valor for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, and passion for the arts.
