Trident Kids

 
Trident Kids is for 7-13 year olds. We teach them a modified version of Total Defense System taught to adults. Trident Kids classes are structured the same as our adult classes and they train with the same equipment as the adults. This includes the Thai pads, focus mitts, and kick shields. Total Defense System is an extremely effective art for developing self-confidence, fitness and the ability to defend oneself. Although, the training methodology is different than other martial arts, discipline is developed and maintained in every class.
 

 
Program Benefits
 

The emphasis of our program is on establishing discipline and courtesy while teaching practical self-defense techniques.

Training at TRIDENT MARTIAL ARTS builds confidence and character by teaching children self-control and the ability to stand up to negative peer pressure.

The movement of the Martial Arts develops coordination and increases strength and flexibility.

The awarding of belts gives children a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Training for these tests and passing them enhances a child's ability to concentrate, plan for, and triumph over learning hurdles.

The true value of the Martial Arts is in teaching children how to defend themselves. Unlike many schools that teach techniques designed for tournaments where the objective is to "score a point", the TRIDENT MARTIAL ARTS will teach your child useful skills designed to help them in an actual self-defense situation. The result is a self-confident child who does not need to bully or show off to other children.

Finally, TRIDENT MARTIAL ARTS is good, clean fun for kids and a productive way to burn off extra energy.

 

Convenient Class Times
