Back To School With Confidence, Respect, and Skills!

Your Child Can Go Back To School With Confidence, Respect, and Skills!

Every year, parents look for after-school activities that are not only fun, but keep their kids active and focused.  There are so many extra-curricular activities that parents can choose for their kids, but martial arts is one that teaches life skills through healthy physical activity.

Boys and girls of all ages can learn martial arts techniques and self-defense skills.  Students at PRO Martial Arts are also taught important life skills, character education, and bullying and predator prevention.  At PRO Martial Arts we offer a variety of programs to better meet the needs of each and everyone of our students, along with very flexible scheduling.

            PRO Martial Arts of Brandon is far more than kicking, punching and karate workouts.  From kids to adults, beginners to experts, karate to kickboxing, every class includes a core focus on building confidence, staying safe and developing character.  Incorporating elements of Tae Kwon Doe, Tang Soo Do, and Hapkido, the system provides the opportunity to develop a potent blend of strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance; while learning effective and proven self-defense techniques in a fun and energizing environment.

What truly sets PRO Martial Arts apart from the average martial arts schools, are our inspiring and motivational life skills training programs for students 3 to 17.  Our proprietary programs, including ARMOR™ Bullying and Predator Prevention, Little Rhinos for pre-schoolers, Character Education, and Advanced Leadership, provide students with much more than the average martial arts school.

It’s All About Character!

Interwoven among the martial arts techniques taught in every class are the true jewels of our program. Through our Character Education Program, every student at PRO Martial Arts will learn discipline, respect, confidence, manners, and attitude.  

Students at PRO Martial Arts develop self-discipline, self-esteem and good habits.  They will learn improved decision making skills that will help them maximize their performance in school, develop and maintain healthy relationships among peers and siblings, and to stand up for themselves and say, “No!” when it matters most.  

 

ARMOR™ Bullying and Predator Prevention

Educating students on dealing with bullying and steering clear of the predators that inhabit both the real and cyber worlds are critical to our program, which is why they are woven into all levels of our Character Education Program.  

Our ARMOR™ Program teaches children how to stay safe in an increasingly dangerous world.  Your child will gain an enhanced ability to assess, avoid, and, if necessary, defend him or herself from danger.  This program is comprised of 12 weekly lessons on Bullying Prevention and 12 separate lessons on Predator Prevention- based on research from reputable sources specializing in child safety, child psychology, and crime prevention.  Every lesson is stand-alone, ensuring students can enter this class at any time.  

Bullying prevention teaches students to recognize bullies and not to become their victims, to carry themselves with confidence, to set and respect personal boundaries, and to be assertive when seeking help.

Predator prevention focuses on teaching that the real safety issue isn’t just strangers, but strangeness, along with how important it is to listen to their instincts, and why they should always tell a trusted adult how they feel.  

 

Little Rhinos

Preschool to kindergarten aged students can begin their journey to black belt in our Little Rhinos Program.  The Little Rhinos Program is an introduction to our basic karate program.  Through drills, skills, and games, this class teaches students the moves, curriculum, and values of karate. Also, this program will teach and reinforce such values as self-control, focus, confidence, self-esteem, assertiveness, teach work, manner, respect, and attitude.  Our Little Rhinos Program has its own unique belt system, from beginner (white belt) through a series of colors until the program is completed and the student advances to our Basic Program.  

In addition to martial arts we offer Kickboxing, Self-Defense, Karate Birthday Parties, Corporate Partnerships. and community events.  We provide FREE demonstrations and school assemblies as a way to give back to our community!

Adding martial arts to your child’s back to school schedule will likely have positive effects on their confidence and focus both at home and in school.  It’s worth a try with our Back to School Trial Offer!
