Our school strives to instill the basic life virtues of discipline, respect, integrity, and confidence. These qualities have been the foundation of the martial arts student since the beginning. The staff of Family Martial Arts Center helps reinforce each quality trait through “Leading by Example”. Our children of the future need positive role models that will set the right example. Our instructors and staff make this the first priority. We believe in offering programs that meet the needs of the community, provide quality instruction, and fair prices that everyone can afford.
Summer Day Camp Activities include games, crafts, movies, and martial arts classes. Our optional field trips include theme parks, bowling, arcades, swimming, laser tag, and skating just to name a few. These field trips are an additional cost and students not attending the day’s activity will enjoy a fun day at the school.
Weekly taekwondo classes are optional but are included with tuition.
