This offers a rare opportunity for students to access such a deep connection to a true line of knowledge.
One characteristic of being connected to a strong line of knowledge, is that our Black Belt Programs are specially tailored to meet the specific needs of each student from 4 to 84. Movements and lessons are planned to help each student develop to their fullest potential. Students will learn practical, effective self-dense tools while physically developing strength, balance, fitness, and more.

Teens and Tweens As a group that faces changing bodies and significant social and emotional pressures, the Juniors age group (teens and tweens between 10 and 16 years old) gains tremendous benefit from Traditional Martial Arts. Our Black Belt programs offer a safe space for teens to develop confidence in themselves. Movement for this age group focuses on a balance of Udo/Juijitsu and Kong Su (Tae Kwon Do/Karate), through which Juniors learn to coordinate rapidly growing bodies while developing mental focus, sharpness, and other skills that can improve their academics.

Nuerodiverse Programs
As instructors, we recognize that we all face challenges every day. We all face conditions in ourselves that we are seeking to balance or overcome. Neurodiversity, in any form, adds to these challenges. Through Traditional Martial Arts movement, we provide an inclusive environment where all students can thrive and have the opportunity to recognize what is truly possible for them. Our instructors are trained to teach through the principle of “same human”, which recognizes that while every human is not identical, we all want many of the same things. With this connection, we strive to see every student where they are standing. By allowing students to show us who they are without judging any behaviors as easier to work with, harder to work with, more extreme, or less extreme, we become open to learning and being creative with how we understand and communicate with each other.
Learn in an Inclusive Community
Traditional Martial arts is an all-inclusive space. The challenge is to bring the body and mind into balance. If we are truly to endeavor to achieve this goal, we also endeavor to know ourselves. To know ourselves we face challenges. In facing challenges, we find allies who face the same challenges right alongside us. In challenging ourselves in a setting with others we find a community of people who have similar goals. When a challenge might humble us we can share that experience with others who have also been humbled. In this community where the experience is so deeply shared there is a lack of judgement. Wins and losses are human. We are woman, men, they, xi, Queer, pan, poly, straight, gay, a-sex.. Mostly, we are community, and we are seeking balance, between us and in ourselves.
