Children's classes are based on solid Martial Arts Training, practical application of learned skills and development of Martial Arts Discipline...All while having FUN!

Children learn values, respect and good manners.  They learn and understand initiative and teamwork at the same time developing the mental aptitude, skills and discipline to produce not just a skilled martial artist, but high achieving valuable members of our society.

Mr. O'Connor places a strong emphasis on discipline, manners and teamwork.

Goal setting and achievement of set goals is important in training children.  A child’s ability to achieve their next belt rank in Martial Arts Training increases self-confidence and self-esteem…opening doors for future achievements and other noteworthy endeavors.

Children’s Classes at the Black Lotus Martial Arts Academy are fun and exciting...but also demanding.  Mr. O'Connor teaches cooperation and cohesion, which increases a student's ability to make responsible individual decisions and also work together as a team.  These factors serve to increase the child's awareness of him or herself and his or her environment.  Self-improvement is measured in relation to one's own potential capabilities. 

Children also learn the basic concepts of working hard to achieve their goals...and through that hard work, they develop the understanding and knowledge that nothing is free - to include reward.

Through diligent practice, Kuk Sool training at the Black Lotus Martial Arts Academy will have lasting positive effects on your child for years…maybe for their whole life.

Children of all ages can benefit from Mr. O'Connor's program.  The appropriate age for a child to begin a martial arts training regimen is 6 years old...however, we have accepted children as young as 3 years old.
