Warrior Way has a large kids program taught by instructors with backrounds in education. The practice of Martial Arts is a routine that improves focus and self discipline, developing the mind as well as the body. Students learn to control themselves to respect others, which naturally leads to a respect for self, improving self-esteem and self-confidence. This benefit often carries over into school, helping to not only improve behavior, but academic performance. Experts agree that, rather than promoting violence, Martial Arts open the door to building a solid foundation of self-confidence and a healthy sense of self worth. The core philosophy of Warrior Way’s Kids training is non-violence. When faced with a violent situation, our students are trained to respond in a calm and controlled way that will stop, rather than escalate, violence.
