SEE HOW REAL Martial Arts STACKS UP
Explore our comparison between martial arts and traditional sports to see why martial arts could be a more beneficial and fulfilling choice for your child's overall growth and development.
Traditional sports sometimes focus more on physical prowess and less on the holistic development of a child, potentially neglecting important aspects like emotional intelligence and personal character development.
Team selections and competitive play can sometimes lead to exclusion or benching of less skilled players, which can be disheartening and impact their enthusiasm for physical activity.
A strong focus on winning can overshadow the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and simply enjoying the game, which are vital aspects of sports for children.
In team sports, individual attention from coaches can be limited, which may hinder the personal skill development and confidence of less naturally talented children.
Martial arts is a great way for kids to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness in an enjoyable and dynamic setting.
As children master new skills and earn belts, their confidence soars. This sense of achievement helps build their self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
Regular practice of martial arts requires discipline and concentration, skills that are transferable to all areas of life, including academic performance.
Children learn to respect their instructors and peers, fostering an environment of mutual respect. They also develop better listening skills, which are crucial for learning and social interactions.
LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS
Your kids’ everyday friends aren’t the main concern anymore when it comes to character development. Now you have to worry about all the negative and harmful influences that the internet can introduce into your children’s lives.
The true benefit of REAL Martial Arts are the character and success traits that are developed through martial arts training.
Through learning the skills and techniques of martial arts, to the guidance and inspiration of our instructors and the positive social interaction with their fellow classmates, your kids will develop a whole list of skills.
FITNESS DISGUISED
Face it. Between the foods we eat and the constant sitting and staring into screens and devices, many kids aren’t getting enough regular exercise.
Our martial arts classes for kids are full exercise routines disguised as a boatload of fun! That’s because they are jam packed with activities, games and drills that are all designed to disguise the repetition of training.
Of course it’s important for your kids to exercise and wear themselves out – they stay healthy, sleep well, and develop their minds and bodies. But just as important, our classes will help develop at a young age the physical habits they need to grow into healthy adults.
SELF-DEFENSE FROM PREDATORS AND BULLIES
We never want our kids to have to use these skills in modern life, but every good parent still wants their kids to be safe.
That’s why REAL Martial Arts is very serious about teaching your kids the skills needed for self-protection in any circumstance, from the neighborhood bully to a stranger on the street (and so much more).
But knowing how to defend oneself is only half the battle. Our classes teach your child the respect and self-discipline needed to diffuse a situation without violence whenever possible – as well as the knowledge to know when force is the only way to safety.
TONS OF F-U-N !!
We never forget… kids are kids and they deserve to have some fun!
We can’t guarantee that their normal school teachers are making learning an enjoyable experience, but we DO guarantee that your kid will have a blast in our martial arts classes.
It really is a challenge to design a class that keeps children focused on learning, respect, and discipline while still having fun… but our classes are created just for that. They are so full of ideas, activities, and games that your kids will never get bored or stagnate.
It’s also a fantastic and healthy environment for them (and you) to make friends with other like-minded students. It really is a place where laughter, cheer and happiness abound.
MEMBER REVIEWS OF REAL Martial Arts
Dive into the real stories! Check out genuine reviews from our martial arts family and see for yourself the difference we're making in lives every day. Don't just take our word for it!
Our boys have been enrolled at RMA for over a year. To say it has been an experience and an environment we wished we had discovered before that time would be an understatement! Sensei Paul and his team of instructors have developed an empowerment and created a self confidence in our sons that will be with them for a lifetime. If you are looking for a school that is welcoming, supportive, unique and affective in approach and will bring out the very best in your child, look no further! The RMA family is the place for you!
Getting all 3 of my children involved in martial arts classes at REAL Martial Arts has been one of the best parenting decisions I have ever made. Sensi Paul teaches each student what REAL means in the dojo, which is spectacular, but this is what REAL means to me as a parent.
R - reinforcing respect and positive behaviors in my children every time they take a class. My children have learned very quickly that the level of respect, responsibility and positive behaviors they practice in martial arts are valuable to use in their everyday lives.
E - energy and excitement are a staple of each coach and instructor. Even if one of my kids isn’t having a great day, they are immediately energized and show excitement as soon as class starts.
A - advantageous long-term benefits in my children’s self-confidence, physical and mental health. Not only are students learning martial arts, but they are also learning how the behaviors practiced in martial arts can be used in everyday life. These lessons will stay with my children for a lifetime.
L - love. It is obvious that everyone who works at REAL Martial Arts loves their jobs. Their positive energy, positive messaging and attention to each student is remarkable.
Sensei Paul and REAL Martial Arts were life-changing for my daughter. She started training with him as a timid 6-year-old who was reluctant to try anything new for fear of failure. He patiently worked with her to gain her trust, never setting a challenge that she couldn't meet, but moving the bar forward as she gained in skills and confidence. Last year, she earned her junior black belt, and while she is no longer training with him due to school commitments, we see his influence every time she tries out for a team or gets up to speak in front of a group. Sensei Paul supported and augmented everything we were working on as parents, and he was a fantastic presence in our daughter's life.
Sensei Paul is a fantastic teacher and mentor. He is wonderful with the kids and has created an environment of respect, fun and growth for all his students. I find his focus on integrating lessons on the physical, emotional and mental planes to be especially inspiring and helpful for my son 6.5 year old son. I couldn't recommend REAL Martial Arts more!
Our son first joined when he started kindergarten before he turned 6. He’s still enjoying learning until this day (3yrs later). The owner Sensei Paul not only teaches his students martial arts techniques, but also life lessons and principles. He’d spend about 5 mins after each class to explain various topics such as how to be kind to others, how to be responsible, how to be honest, etc. Karate and jujitsu are main lessons among others. So all techniques are complementing each other very well. My son has learned a lot from Sensei Paul and the Dojo. We’re highly recommending RMA if you’re looking for martial arts fitness class for your little ones or yourself. There’s also adults classes. The fee is reasonable for unlimited classes.
Sensei Paul is a wonderful teacher and role model for his students. His ”mat chats” are so inspiring and definitely worth listening to. All the other instructors are also great with the kids. Everyone is very approachable and accommodating of all the families at RMF. You can really feel the sense of community at the dojo.
