STAND STRONG, STAY SAFE!

At The Desert Dojo, we emphasize the importance of situational awareness, teaching children to assess their surroundings and recognize potential risks.

By combining these awareness skills with practical real world self-defense training, kids learn to respond calmly and assertively, should a situation arise.

Verbal de-escalation techniques are also an integral part of our program, empowering children to use words as a first line of defense, fostering their ability to communicate, set boundaries, and seek help when needed.

Through this multifaceted approach, children gain not only physical skills but also the confidence and knowledge to navigate the world with increased self-assurance and safety.

Another powerful reason to enroll your child at The Desert Dojo is because kids build strong social bonds with fellow students, forming a supportive community that encourages teamwork and camaraderie.

The structured environment promotes respect, cooperation and nurtures positive relationships that extend beyond the dojo.

Moreover, the emphasis on discipline and self-control in martial arts translates into heightened communication skills, allowing children to navigate social situations with confidence and assertiveness.

By enrolling your child at The Desert Dojo, you are providing them with the tools to communicate effectively, fostering a well-rounded set of social skills that will benefit them in all facets of life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

MY CHILD IS A COMPLETE BEGINNER?

That's great! Most kids that start training at The Desert Dojo have never trained in Martial Arts before. We specialize in BEGINNERS!!!!

MY CHILD IS NOT VERY COORDINATED OR ATHLETIC. CAN THEY STILL LEARN MARTIAL ARTS?

Yes. In fact, most kids who start training at The Desert Dojo are out of shape…that's what we are here to do…HELP your child get in shape.

Martial Arts classes are the PERFECT activity for kids who are not good at sports.  Kids martial arts classes are an individual activity, done in a group setting. The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student.  

But what is the same…. They improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline.  Plus, they makes lots of great friends! Our Instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids.

MY CHILD IS OVERWEIGHT AND REALLY SELF CONSCIOUS?

No worries. The Desert Dojo is a judgement free zone.

All the instructors are there to help your child and encourage them to do their best.

Before you know it…they will be punching and kicking and looking good.

MY CHILD IS ADDICTED TO VIDEO GAMES. CAN MARTIAL ARTS HELP?

Martial Arts is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit around a lot playing vieo games! Martial Arts is similar to video games in how you level up. Before you know it they will be more active and healthy.  Kicking and punching pads is such a great stress relief.

Parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes.  You’ll be glad they started training at The Desert Dojo.

CAN PARENTS WATCH CLASSES?

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons.  We love parents getting involved!  And so do the kids.  Even better… join in yourself and try our adults classes. You’re kids will love that you have something in common.  It will build a strong family bond!

However, if you want some ‘me-time’?  Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee.  They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

CAN MARTIAL ARTS HELP MY CHILD LOSE WEIGHT?

Yes. However, it is also very important to combine the physical training with a healthy diet and lifestyle choices…if you truly want them to lose weight and be healthy.

Here is the truth….if you do the training BUT you eat junk food all the time and drink sugary drinks all the time, then they will get very limited to NO results.

We are NOT saying they can't eat their favorite foods…all we are saying is they can't do it ALL the time or to excess.

If you need some guidance with your child's nutrition, talk to Elisa, she is our health coach.

IS MARTIAL ARTS DANGEROUS?

Martial Arts is safer than most other sports. However, as with any kind of exercise and in life, accidents can and do happen from time to time.

But, we do take precautions to make the training as safe as possible.

HOW MUCH ARE CLASSES?

Most kids train on average 2x's per week and tuition for 2 classes per week is $149 per month.

However, when you come in for your first free class we will cover all the tuition options available and help you find one that fits your needs and budget.

WILL MARTIAL ARTS MAKE MY CHILD AGGRESSIVE OR BECOME A BULLY?

No, in fact this type of training does exactly the opposite. It helps to your child get their frustrations out in a healthy and positive way.

Our classes teach respect, and when to use their new self defense training and when NOT to use it.  We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies.  And have more humility and kindness to others though their martial arts lessons.

Martial Artists tend to be the most calm, respectful and nicest people you will ever meet.
