In the Youth Martial
Arts program, our emphasis on excellence encourages the aspiring
Martial Artist to excel scholastically. In fact, continued
martial arts training is contingent on
their level of effort in the classroom! Recognition patches are
awarded to all honor roll and straight-A students. Students are
recognized and awarded for high academic achievement.
Parents of
our higher-ranking students have said they consider martial arts
to be a part of their child’s education. They use martial arts to
fill the gaps inherent in our public school system for physical
education, personal development and self-defense.
At The EDGE
every student’s goal is the Black Belt. Black Belt is a symbol of
excellence in the martial arts and an important tool for
instructors and parents to use for developing desire, tenacity
and for teaching the importance of follow-through in any
activity. Students realize that in order to achieve their
long-term goal of black belt they must set short term and
intermediate goals such as stripe test and color belt test to
achieve their ultimate goal
Our program
is also one of the most effective ways to protect your child
against the dangers of drug experimentation. Children with high
self-esteem are better able to combat the peer pressure that is

systematically instill into your child abduction awareness
techniques to minimize this danger. We make every attempt to make
both you and your child “street smart.”
