Why Black Belt Leadership Training?
This is the age where they are easily persuaded by peer-pressure and makes it challenging to make the right choices. It’s a time when they are trying to figure out who they are and what they stand for. Our curriculum is carefully designed to inspire teens every class on how to lead themselves, how to combat negative peer-pressure, and how to set goals for a life of greatness. Our purpose and plan are to build Black Belt Leaders who have a strong foundation of self-respect and unshakeable character.
In the end, there is no confidence like self-defense confidence. Having the ability to defend yourself is so empowering! We teach modern, realistic, and easy to learn self-defense techniques. By quickly equipping our students with the confidence to protect themselves we give them the courage to walk and communicate with confidence wherever they go.
With suicide being the second leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds we are on a mission to provide the right environment, coaching, and goals to empower them to live their best life!

GET YOUR TEENS OFF THE COUCH AND INTO MARTIAL ARTS
It might seem like your teenager would happily spend all day sitting on the couch playing video games or posting on social media.
The electronics epidemic might be a good thing in many ways, but teenagers still need physical activity to stay fit and healthy.
Martial arts classes provide teens with challenging workouts in a fun, social setting that rivals any video game.
HOW TO SET (AND ACHIEVE) GOALS
Teens sometimes seem not to care about setting goals either in the short-term or the long-term.
The study of martial arts requires them to pursue goals on a regular basis. Each skill they learn, and each belt they earn, represents a goal that they have achieved.
Goal-setting in this way provides teens with the tools they need to set achievable goals in school, at home, and in life.

My son has been attending for 4 years, and we are so happy with how much he has learned and progressed. The instructors are patient and great with the kids. It’s very affordable, especially when they can attend class up to 5 times per week. We love how respect is emphasized both in and outside the classroom.
Kimberly Ann
My son started as a Tiger and then began Tae Kwon Do and is now also in the NinjaTrix program. He loves it! The Academy of Martial Arts is wonderful. The Deavers, Master Harp, Mr. Inman, and others who help are caring and dedicated teachers. They have multiple programs available and great classes for all ages. They are welcoming and we appreciate the emphasis on character skills and leadership they promote. Plus flexible scheduling with most classes offered multiple evenings each week or Saturdays. Glad we found them!
