We're looking forward to meeting you and your child.
Make sure you wear comfortable clothes that allow you to participate in the sport ... Not really suitable to practice kicks in a skirt or suit! 😳
Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. Our martial arts classes for kids and adults are a great workout and lots of fun! Most students are grinning from ear-to-ear by the end of the class – which means their parents are too!
We don’t require parents to stay during classes. However, we do find that parents who get involved with their kids martial arts lessons truly build a solid connection. They see their child grow in confidence and skill as they progress through their belt ranks. Building strong family units is important to us at Absolute Martial Arts!
Additionally, if you want some “me-time,” simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return because they had SO much fun!
No, not at all! ... We have children starting at various fitness levels.
But you WILL find that your child soon becomes fit (and stronger, more flexible, coordinated, focused, tolerant, patient, etc., etc., etc.) by enjoying our Absolute Martial Arts classes.
It's a fun workout that benefits their entire life!
Your child will not feel disadvantaged or left-out at all! You'll find that Absolute Martial Arts is the PERFECT sport for kids who are not really into sports.
Our practical, blended martial arts approach is meant to be effective for EVERYONE – not elite athletes.
The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what's always the same are the benefits of improved coordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, your child will make lots of great friends!
Our instructors are highly skilled at teaching martial arts for kids. Really ... It’s their PASSION!
No ... The names of our programs ...
– Pre-Schoolers
– Kids
– Teens
– Adults
... indicate exactly who can participate in each class.
Those under 18 are not permitted in our adult-level program and – conversely – the only adults you'll ever see in a non-adult class are our fully-qualified and highly-trained instructors.
NO!!! ... Our classes take place in a collaborative environment composed of training partners, not opponents.
You’re always training with someone – not against them. Once you reach a certain level, you and your partners may participate in very LIGHT, controlled sparring from time-to-time – but only to a degree with which you're comfortable.
Sparring is not fighting ... It is a sophisticated game of "tag" in which the student learns to apply what they've learned, under pressure, in a controlled environment. The student is well-protected by top quality equipment and under close watch of an instructor.
Without having a training partner to direct punches and kicks at you, you wouldn't be able to perfect your blocking and evading skills ... Rest assured, safety is always paramount.
The “winning” happens when we work together to improve each member’s skills and strengths, putting ourselves in a position to be safe and successful outside of class.
On average, injuries in our martial arts classes occur MUCH less frequently than they do in other sports.
Safety is our top concern and we have measures in place to keep your child safe. Injuries are very, very rare here and are almost always extremely minor.
If you like, come check out a class to observe our safe, controlled environment for yourself!
Absolutely! ... Martial arts is an individual sport, but done in a group environment. We find that all of our students improve in their concentration, self-control, discipline and social skills. But you know the best part? ... They don’t even realize that our highly skilled instructors are focused on building these essential life-skills! The kids just think they're having fun, working out and learning martial arts techniques!
Find out for yourself! You’ll discover that our team is so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves.

Martial Arts is probably the BEST activity for kids who sit and stare at a screen a lot!
Getting them active without them realizing that they're learning and exercising is our secret superpower ... Kicking and punching pads is also a great stress-reliever for kids with pent-up energy!
Hundreds of your fellow parents have found that once their kids start at Absolute Martial arts, they see a happier, healthier and more social child develop right before their eyes.

When you work out with an Absolute purpose, you’ll perform better, feel better, be better – and be safer … and all you have to do is START!
Great question! ... We begin with a light warm-up of jogging or brisk walking (if jogging is a problem for you) before getting into some calisthenic-based physical training. We extend the exercise period into drills that relate directly to our martial arts skills.
Having built-up a light sweat, we then – depending on the focus of that evening's class – learn or practice techniques in kick-boxing, other forms of striking/kicking, self-defense, weapons-defense, ground-fighting and/or other defensive situations.
We wrap-up with a few words from the instructor and a brief Q&A should anyone have points to raise, then bow-out and shake hands ... leaving better than we arrived and looking forward to the next class!
