Will my child become a bully?

Our Chevy Chase kids martial arts training builds humility, confidence, and respect in children. These traits turn kids into the opposite of bullies. They become leaders.

Do parents need to stay?

That’s completely up to you. If you need some time to yourself to relax – go get a coffee or a bite to eat. Parents deserve all the time off you can get. If you’d like to stay and observe you are more than welcome to as well.

What do I need to bring to my first lesson?

They might be nervous about their first kids martial arts class in Chevy Chase. That’s perfectly normal! As soon as they see how kind and welcome the instructors and other kids are – that nervousness turns into excitement.

My child has ADD/ADHD, will martial arts help?

My child is not athletic, will they feel left out?

For kids who are not natural athletes – team sports can be devastating on self-esteem. These kids often feel like they are ‘letting the team down’ because they can’t keep up as well.

But in martial arts – kids are in a group environment, but every child is on their own unique journey. They can go at their own pace. Some kids advance faster, others slower. That’s okay.

What’s important is that your child is having fun, challenging themselves, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.

The coordination, strength, and speed comes with time – even in kids who are not ‘natural athletes’!

My child is addicted to video games, will this be suitable?

Yes! In fact, kids martial arts training might be the best solution to this problem. That’s because martial arts are challenging both physically and mentally. This keeps kids engaged and focused. Plus, every Chevy Chase class is full of fun, fitness-boosting games where kids are learning focus, confidence, and respect without even realizing it.

We disguise learning as fun – and keep your child laughing and smiling. They won’t miss their games for a moment.
