At, L.Z. Family Martial Arts we are very concerned with the well-being and education of our children. We understand that younger children have a shorter attention span.
Our unique children's program uses interesting and challenging methods to keep the students' attention and expand their attention span. We teach our young students the skills that they can use for life and promote nonviolent solutions to conflict.
Our methods help children explore and understand conflict through role-playing and other exercises. Students will learn confidence, self-discipline, and self-control as they learn how to act and react to the world around them. Our young students are treated with respect and are taught to return that respect to others.
We believe in praise, encouragement and positive reinforcement. We have incentives for good academic report cards, attitude, and martial skills. We teach children the value of making goals and working to meet them and just feeling good about themselves.

What to Expect
Upon enrollment and throughout your Martial Art experience, you'll receive homework assignments from your instructor. This will help you maintain and grow into the Martial Art experience. Our job is to open the door to the experience, but you have to walk through it. The rewards in the Martial Arts are measurable by how you feel and think about yourself.
