The focus of our child development program is to provide students the highest quality martial arts instruction available in a safe and positive learning environment while having the time of their lives. Unlike team sports, there are no bench warmers at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense Kids Kung Fu Program. Your child deserves more from a sports program than sitting on a bench. Every child wins in our Kids Kung Fu class. Every child is a winner not a bench sitter, as Martial Arts Educators we empower children to reach their own potential instead of competing directly against other children. The best part about it is that in Kung Fu girls can be just as good as boys.

We are the official Martial Arts Child Development Program at Eugenia B. Thomas Elementary and the Divine Savior Lutheran Academy. We are the areas leader in Martial Arts Education. It’s not just about kicking and punching, it is about learning life skills and the complete personal development of each child. Our program is a blend of traditional and contemporary martial arts that offers you not only an effective reality based personal protection program, but means for personal development, character development and discipline. Children learn to concentrate and focus their energy constructively which results in better school work and grades. They will gain new anger management skills and an “I can do it” attitude in a safe and positive environment.

Because kids excel when they are given attainable goals, we use a belt system that allows them to constantly achieve short term goals, while striving for their long term goal of the coveted Black Belt.

Children can also acquire merit patches and achievement certificates for physical endeavors as in doing a full split and mental endeavors as in getting a good report card.
