The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts

Children between the ages of 4 - 6 years old are in a very distinct growing stage. They are embarking on new discoveries everyday and learning how to cope with all of the challenges. Their intellect, emotions, physical capabilities, and social competence all are growing at a rapid rate. So fast, that they often overlook what’s important and can hardly tell the difference between right and wrong. That’s where the MATKidz Prep Course Program comes into play. Our program was specially designed for the stages of development of 3-6 year olds. Our experience regarding this age group will ensure that our program meets each child’s characteristics and capabilities. The MATKidz Program is a preliminary martial arts training course that focuses on building capabilities; physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. This program will help shape each student’s life in a way that will positively enhance their future. Emphasis in this program is on building confidence by teaching each child to properly use their upper and lower body in defensive postures, positions, and situations both standing and on the ground. Rolling, climbing, evading, and fitness are an important part of this program. The class is fun, high energy and utilizes different pads, mats, and teaching aids to enhance the training experience.

This course was designed specially for children ages 7 to 13 years old. We realize that children this age have specific characteristics that differ from children younger than them. They are sharper and more focused however they are still not quite ready to face the same challenges presented to young adults. With the dream and haunts of being a teenager, which is right around the corner, there are many physical, emotional, social, and intellectual challenges that they all face. With the right developments and positive reinforcement, your child will face their transition as a teenager with an enthusiastic outlook. Imagine your son or daughter at the top of their class intellectually. We’re not talking about a straight “A” student, although that does help, we’re talking about a child who is smart enough to make the right decisions; a child who knows how to set and achieve goals; a child who understands the importance of commitment; a child who knows how to persevere through the most difficult challenges; a child who knows when to say “no”. Also imagine your child in the middle of a positive social circle who knows how to make and keep friends. Vision your child physically competent, capable of meeting and completing physical challenges. Best image yet, think about how relieving it would feel to see your child day in and day out cope with emotional challenges with a positive outlook.

Mixed Martial Arts or MMA is the term used for combat sports incorporating different styles of fighting such as Muay Thai, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Boxing. The sport of MMA has grown as a result of man’s desire to become better at combat sports resulting in a new and different style of hybrid fighting. The quest to become the best fighter not only in their own martial art style but the best fighter overall has encouraged practioners to take up other styles of fight training.
