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 non-violent 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.

Youth Student Pledge™

1. I will listen to my parents the first time.
2. I will do my schoolwork and hand it in on time.
3. I will not argue with my parents or my teachers.
4. I will treat my family and other students with respect.
5. I will always try my best at whatever I do.
6. I will only use my martial arts training with my Parent's permission.

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. The path of Martial Artists is like life, to accomplish a dream. You will learn to persevere. Learning perseverance, self patience, self-awareness, fun in a new sense and the ability to enjoy hard work will build character. Laziness in not an option. There are winners and there are losers. In the Martial Arts, all can learn to be winners.

  • Anything that would prevent the student from performing in class to their fullest should be discussed with the instructor before the start of class.
  • No jewelry to be worn during the class.

  • T-shirts / tank tops are to be worn under uniform of female students.

In the Joon-Be position.....
  • No playing with your fingers.
  • No playing with your belt.
  • Keep your fingers out of your mouth.


Push-ups are given to refocus on yourself.

SHOW RESPECT TO ALL OTHER STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF RANK OR AGE

Three questions a student should never ask:
1. "When will I promote next?"
2. "Now that I have promoted, when will I get my belt?"
3. "When can I teach?"

 

Failure to live by these rules can result in midnight attacks from ninja assassins.
Of course, if the ninjas were sent to the wrong home please send them back unharmed.
