- for children ages 4-6, our program for children at this age level are focuses on
improving basic motor and listening skills.

- for ages 7 – 12, focuses on physical skills as well as emotional and mental
well-being. Children have fun while learning a wide range of skills. This is a comprehensive
program culminating with the attainment of a Junior Black Belt.
We begin with self-discipline, or what we like to call a “non-quitting spirit”. But…before
self-discipline can be developed, discipline must come from an external source, your ZMA
instructor. Once a student starts to achieve this, they begin to apply self-discipline, which leads to
greater achievements, and achievement develops confidence.
Self-discipline itself is not enough, we also teach our children the art of self-defense, an important
life skill. Children today face more bullies and negative peer pressure then ever before, so it is
essential they have the skills necessary to distinguish between good and bad, right or wrong.
This is why at ZMA, we teach a realistic, streetwise self-defense system that combines the
most effective Martial Arts techniques, so children learn to defend themselves in virtually any
situation, whether they are standing up or end up on the ground. They also learn conflict
resolution and when they should and shouldn’t use their newfound skills.

Children who learn self-defense become more assertive and less aggressive.

Children who know how to defend themselves typically don't have to since they carry themselves in a more confident manner.
Television, Soft drinks, Video Games, and Fast Food
These are just a few of the challenges children face today. Combine these with a decrease in school physical education classes; it’s easy to see why weight problems and obesity among children have more than doubled in our country in the last twenty years.
At ZMA, we help children develop a healthy mind and body, so they have the energy and fitness to face life’s challenges, and succeed.
