Took my 10 year old nephew (Scottie) last year for a 3 month program while he was visiting over the summer. He started as a very shy student and within a few weeks learned some basic martial arts, take downs, joint locking and even took a few weapons classes. By the end of his 3 months he was no longer shy, had confidence and was no longer being bullied in school.
This year we signed our 5 year old up at the school and he can not get enough. We thought he would take 1 or 2 classes a week. But he wanted more and is taking 6 classes a week, learning takedowns, kungfu, padded weapons, judo an wrestling. A GREAT variety of MMA. The instructors are EXCELLENT with children. Just like regular school PARENTS need to be involved, watch the classes and do homework with the students.
