KIDS & teens CLASSES

We currently offer TWO separate programs for youth, one for 6—9yrs olds and one for 10—16yrs old. These classes are held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. To enquire about registering your child for a youth program, please email us to get started! 

At Dark Horse Martial Arts we believe that every child has great potential inside of them. As instructors, we strive to help our kids gain confidence so that they are able to show their full potential and grow into self sufficient, confident, and kind adults.

Jiu Jitsu is described as 'human chess'. Here at DHMA our students learn a lot more than just physical skills and self defence. Some of the mental attributes include:
 

• Self-confidence
• Active Problem Solving
• Discipline
• Patience
• Respect
• Leadership Skills

Additionally, students will learn advanced body awareness including:

• Coordination
• Flexibility
• Durability
• Dexterity
• Cardio

Here at DHMA we believe in creating a positive learning atmosphere. This applies to all classes but especially the kids classes. Giving the children a positive area in which to learn and express themselves is our highest priority.
