Midwest Martial Arts - Children's Programs

MidWest Martial Arts children's programs have been widely recognized and referred by public and private school systems, pediatricians and day care providers. We have especially designed programs just for children. 

• Rangers are the youngest, ranging in age from four to six years.
• Ninja Turtles run between the ages of six and eight.
• Juniors are for ages 8 and up.

Our goal is to teach our students to become Black Belts in life as well as Black Belts in martial arts by using the focus, discipline, respect, goal setting, and communication skills that we have effectively blended into our martialarts instruction.

"Midwest is an extention of our family. Our kids love their instructors and have gained skills they will use the rest of their lives." - Tonya M., Fairborn, OH

While developing coordination, balance and physical fitness our children's programs build confidence and character with structured recognition programs that give your child a sense of accomplishment.

Besides reinforcing your family values kids seem to find our classes just plain fun and enjoy the sense of pride and accomplishment they feel as they earn each new belt.
