Why The Martial Arts

The martial arts have long been associated with benefits such as self-discipline, self-confidence, strength, endurance, and flexibility (click here to view Full Split Club members in our eGallery).  The fact of the matter is, soccer, football, basketball, and most other organized sports offer these very benefits… so why martial arts?

Perhaps this question is best answered by explaining what the martial arts is not.

1. The martial arts is NOT a team sport

• Your child will never be overshadowed by the “star player”
• Your child will never be “benched”

2. The martial arts is NOT a seasonal sport
   • Because the season never stops, neither do the benefits
3. The martial arts is NOT rooted in sport
   • Though taught like a sport, the martial arts is in fact a lifestyle.  And because health and wellness, too is a lifestyle, the martial arts is a natural fit for the ultimate goals of the Child Nutrition and WIC Recreation Act of 2004 – a healthy America.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tae Kwon Do?

Tae Kwon Do is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills.  It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind.  Today, it has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics.

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an approach to self-defense unlike that of many traditional martial arts.  Where most martial arts rely on striking, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu relies on leverage, balance, and positional dominance to subdue larger attackers.  Its emphasis on proper technique over size and strength makes it an excellent choice for addressing a child's needs.

Is there a difference between Tae Kwon Do and Karate?

With regard to your child’s needs, no.  Any martial art can be beneficial for your child.  When searching for a program for your child, what is most important is finding the right instructor.  Take a FREE introductory lesson with one of our instructors to see for yourself why we’re the right academy for your child.

Is martial arts training safe?

The training areas in our facility are covered with two inches of high density foam similar to those found in high school and college wrestling surfaces.  Covered with marine-grade vinyl, our mats are water proof, enabling us to sweep and mop with an antibacterial solution every day.
