Kang's Black Belt Academy has been and absolute game changer for our son. He walked in the door with very little self-confidence, and he now walks with his head a little higher everywhere he goes. He is learning martial arts, and SO much more!

Mr. Jox is a great instructor. My son loves his classes. He loved it so much, I signed myself and my daughter up for classes too. We all love it. I’ve seen such an improvement in both kids in self confidence and self esteem. Highly recommended.

Excellent program for teaching young kids discipline at a level they can relate to. In additional to the Martial Arts skills that are taught, they learn about bulling and stranger danger and how to handle themselves in an unwanted situation. This program is not only for kids, but for adults as well. Mr. Jox is an excellent instructor for all.

This has been a fantastic program for my two sons! My oldest, now 13, has been in the program for almost 4 years, and it has been a great confidence builder for him. This program is perfect for the not-so-sporty kids that struggle to find a place. Mr Jox is a fabulous role model for the kids. He's patient and kind, and provides a fun environment for the kids.

Practical Self-Defense & Safety Awareness
Safe kids make for happy parents. Kids tend to listen to people they like, trust and respect. Our highly trained teaching staff will share vital safety tips and teach your child practical self-defense. Most important is that your child understands some simple rules of safety. They will learn tips such as safety in numbers and learning to practice safe habits in their daily routine. Knowledge is power; we provide an explanation of common abduction lures and teach kids to be cautiously aware of their surroundings. No parent wants their child to live in fear, yet they want to know that their child is safe. We believe strongly in helping your child become confident and capable young adults who understand right from wrong and will know when to stand their ground and when to run-yell-tell. We also stress non-violent conflict resolution, how to avoid dangerous situations and practical techniques for getting away from a range of situations being cornered, being grabbed and being tackled to the ground. Our practical self-defense skills include Tae Kwon Do, Hapki-do and on the ground grappling defense. Your child will be trained when and when not to use their self defense skills, and our students have a clear understanding of being responsible for their actions and attitudes.
