SUPERCHARGE YOUR CHILD’S AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Our after-care students learn martial arts, self-defense, gymnastics and parkour…so basically we spend the afternoons training ninjas! All in a cooperative environment in which kids have responsibility for others and show respect to others. We also teach students to manage responsibilities that are theirs alone: a clean uniform, homework agenda, good grades and respectful interaction. Our program stresses personal discipline, taking responsibility and setting goals—skills that carry us through life. We also promote self-confidence and self-respect, which give your child the courage to say NO in the face of peer pressure.
Best of all, our martial arts classes are full of excitement and fun!

BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING
REGULAR ACTIVITIES HELP PROMOTE NORMALCY
As adults and community leaders, it is our job to create structure for our children. Having a scheduled activity helps parents and kids feel that their day is structured and organized. Our daily routine at Raise Leaders is fixed and includes structured home-work time, training and game time with friends.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY is essential for GOOD MENTAL HEALTH
Kids have anxiety too! Regular exercise is an important component to good mental health. Kids who exercise often are less prone to intense stress. Raise Leaders martial arts classes can help reduce stress and help kids manage anxiety. Martial Arts training focuses on a mind-body connection which can help kids feel emotionally and mentally grounded.
kids who practice martial arts are more disciplined
Raise Leaders Martial Arts training teaches students discipline through tradition, structure, formality and goal setting. Attending classes requires a commitment and sticking to it. Additionally, students will have stripe tests, belt tests and other goal challenges that will help them to develop self-esteem. Many behavioral problems caused by a lack of discipline can make kids feel frustrated, lower their self-esteem and create a never-ending negative cycle. With guidance from our qualified instructors, students can break the cycle through fun activities and positive encouragement.
“My daughter (11) and son (8) have been attending Raise Leaders programs for 4 years! Our kids consider everyone family there. I am so relieved that I can go to work knowing my kids are having a blast in a safe and positive environment. ”
