Teens here are treated like adults - and train with the adults. You will see your teen grow by leaps and bounds here - faster than you ever thought possible.
As their training progresses, they will become role models for new, incoming students, and mentors for younger students. Many of our 14-15-16 year old black belts are mistaken for fully grown adults by visitors - even after having face-to-face conversations with them.

7 year-old Bodhi performing a 360-degree Spin Side Kick Board Break, at his belt test. It's solid pine, 8"x12"x 1" thick!
We ran a unique traditional martial arts 'Kid's Program' 'for 5 years. It was very successful, and the students progressed at amazing rates. Then we realized that the kids in the Family Program were progressing even more quickly. So we broke the mold of 'modern massed martial arts' training and switched all the kids into our Family Program.
We have never looked back. 7-year olds here perform like 12-year olds elsewhere, 6-year olds take (and pass) the same belt promotion tests the Teenagers do.
Many of our kids travel to compete in tournaments alongside their older teammates. And they have been very successful, winning many brackets in several different styles of martial arts!
