The Crouching Tiger program Ages 4-6
 This class offers
not only an effective self-defense program, but a means
for character development and discipline. Children learn
to concentrate and focus their energy constructively,
which results in better school work and grades.
In addition, a strong emphasis is placed
on the development of self-esteem. We believe that if a
child's self-esteem is strong, he or she is more likely
to become a happy, secure and productive adult.
Our goal is to
inspire our students with dynamic Martial Arts spirit as
we share with them the techniques of Self-defense in
Taekwon Do. The Martial Arts spirit becomes a truly
indomitable weapon in confronting the unwanted advances
of an attacker, and in addition, the rigors of everyday
life. For the child, it provides the focus and
concentration to excel in school, and the courage to say
"NO" to those who corrupt the principles learned at
home.

Taekwon Do Advanced ( Ages 10 - 12 )
At FMAA, our Youth Program is
designed to create street safe, bully proof,
strong, confident leaders. This is
accomplished through an integrated system of curriculums
that gives our young students the skills and tools to
accomplish their goals and be more than they thought
they could be.
Street Safe
This curriculum teaches simple, effective
verbal and physical self-defense skills taught in
a fun, informative and hands-on manner.
Bully proof
Our young members receive training and skills
derived from the Freestyle Martial Arts Self
Defense program. This unique program focuses on
giving youth tools other than combat when dealing
with a bully.
Strong
At each level of advancement, students are
expected to perform basic physical fitness
activities (sit-ups, pushups, etc...) in
accordance with the Presidential Fitness
Awards. As with all things, we start with small,
realistic expectations for beginners. As the
student advances in rank, so do the expectations
and requirements. By the time the student reaches
the higher ranks, they will be stronger and
healthier than before, setting the foundation for
a happier, healthier teen and adult!
Confident
Confidence comes from
accomplishment of goals. At FMAA our members set
and achieve goals on a regular basis. Every
stripe and belt is a goal accomplishment, and
every time a student advances to the next rank,
they are required to set a new goal to
accomplish or improve on by their next rank
advancement.
Leaders
Students are provided the opportunity
to develop their leadership skills by being chose to
lead classes in activities. Students who show
appropriate traits to become leaders can be invited
to join the FMAA Leadership Team, where they are
given more opportunities to become leaders in the
school and the community.
Our Philosophy:
Every kid is a winner! Every kid is
special! Every child wins with Taekwon Do for Kids.
In karate, every kid can be a winner instead of a
bench sitter, because karate allows children to
reach for their own potential rather than directly
competing against other kids.
Quality students come from quality
instruction!
Our Teaching Concept.
The Taekwon Do for Kids system is
based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to
technical skills. Our basic building blocks for the
Taekwon Do
for Kids system are:
What is Taekwon Do?
A Korean form of karate that has
proven to be easy to learn and to enjoy for children
of all ages and athletic abilities.
Taekwon Do promotes:
-
Self-confidence,
which does not come naturally for many children,
often has to be developed over a period
-
of time. As children accomplish
new goals, their confidence level increases.
Children become more self confident
-
in karate because they progress
individually at their own pace and are not judged
against others.
-
-
Self-defense can
take many forms. Many parents worry about their
children being safe on the street, yet on of
-
the real problems young adults
face is their ability to defend themselves against
other kids. Karate teaches kids
-
to think instead of panicking in
potentially serious situations as well as how to
react to threats from other kids.

A Parent's Questions.
-
How often should my children
attend?
-
Initially, two or three times a
week.
-
Does my child need anything other
than a uniform to start?
-
No.
-
Is it a good idea for Parents
to watch class?
-
Our experience has proven that
children learn more readily and instructors teach
more effectively without large crowds. The parent
may watch, but it is not necessary. Although,
during tournaments, and other special school
activities, the public is encouraged to attend.
A Typical Parent's Concerns.
-
I don't know if my child will
stick with a long term program.
-
I don't want to spend a great deal
of money for something my child might lose
interest in.
