Martial Arts
Here at Lions Martial Arts Academy, we believe that Martial Arts is a great way to lead and inspire people of all ages. Our traditional approach to teaching Martial Arts develops a strong knowledge of the arts, as well as a solid moral compass for our students. Our teachings focus on leadership, respect, responsibility, and a sense of compassion for others. Just as important, our modern approach to self-defense prepares students for everyday situations and the mindset to handle them. In all our programs, we discuss and implement easy to learn techniques that cover one on one attacks, multiple attackers, and weapon self-defense. Included with our kids’ program, we discuss stranger danger, bullying in its many forms, and what to do in those stressful situations. The overall goal is to use Martial Arts as a way to give students a foundation on which to build a happy and healthy life.
