Basic SKILLZ for Kids

Understanding
Your 5-6 Year Old

It’s easy to overestimate 5 and 6-year-olds! They’re finally starting to follow instructions, and pay attention.

But they often need help in controlling
their emotions, focusing on tasks, and
breaking out of shyness.

Our instructors pay extra close attention to your child. This ensures your child gets just what they need. No kid slips under the radar.

Here’s How We Fill Your 5-6 Year Old With Focus. Confidence. Discipline. Fitness.

FOCUS

Unlock Laser-Like Focus

Hit Targets And Nail Goals

Focus isn’t just about eyes and ears; it’s whole-body attention.

Our Philadelphia kids martial arts program trains kids to focus through exercises like striking and kicking small targets… and even moving targets. It takes everything they’ve got to concentrate.

These focus drills, and more, get their eyes, ears, and body in the game.

CONFIDENCE

From Shy To Confident

Emotional Growth Through Our

Philadelphia Kids Martial Arts Program

Confidence plays a crucial role in martial arts, both in terms of personal development and effectiveness in combat.

In martial arts, confidence is not just about believing in your abilities; it’s also about understanding your limitations and having the self-assurance to face challenges.

DISCIPLINE

Discipline & Self-Control Start Here

Listen, Act & Obey

Discipline isn’t just following orders; it’s following through.

In our Philadelphia kids martial arts class… We teach kids to be still, to listen, and to act—the three pillars of discipline. We teach them basic ‘listening positions’ that they’ll use in class and in life.

We train kids to control their body, mind, and even heart. Exercises that ask them to stop quickly on command are one example. It’s not just useful in class, but in life.

FITNESS

Boost Strength And Balance

One Kick, Hope, & Stance At A Time

We get that 5-6 year olds are still building their muscle power. That’s why our moves are all about making them stronger and more balanced.

We help kids find their balance through exercises like holding their knee high, and doing 5-15 kicks in a row without putting their foot down.

Our Philadelphia kids martial arts class is not just about staying upright; it’s about staying strong.

Brian Costello

“My son loves going to karate. He really enjoys working with Sensei John. We use not going to karate as a consequence if he doesn’t have good behavior. I like how Sensei John has control of the class so the kids are learning to respect someone in authority.”

“Best decision I made for my daughter! Over the last year I have seen her grow into a self confident young girl! She loves going there and being part of it and she loves Sensei! He is so good with all the kids. Having fun with them while learning at the same time is the key to being a wonderful teacher and he has nailed it on the head! I would recommend Martial Arts Hero

Factory to any parent that is looking for a place that their child can grow, become more confident, gain self respect, learn responsibility and above all have a little fun! You can find that and so much more there!!

It’s truly a great place for both parents and children!“

Our son looks forward to attending class and has gained a lot more confidence and focus over these past few months. We are grateful for the time and patience they take with our son. The Dojo is clean and well equipped. Sensei is a fantastic teacher who takes the time to make sure the students follow direction. Thank you all!
