Exciting Times for Our Littlest Warriors!

Our Mat Ninjas program for ages 3 to 5 has grown exponentially — and it’s no surprise why! With decades of martial arts expertise combined with the latest sports science, our instructors create a nurturing environment where little ones thrive.

At this crucial stage of rapid learning and discovery, we intentionally foster curiosity, support emotional wellbeing, and build self-confidence. We inspire their spirit and encourage a positive, healthy approach to life, setting the foundation for lifelong growth and resilience.

Balance and Posture

For many children aged 3 to 5, balance and posture are essential skills that often go overlooked—but they require consistent attention and development. These foundational abilities are crucial for virtually every physical activity.

Poor posture can lead to restricted organ function, shallow breathing, and a range of other health issues. That’s why we prioritize nurturing strong, healthy posture and balance from the very start, setting the stage for better movement and overall wellbeing.

They’ll develop sharper concentration, boosted self-confidence, and strong teamwork and social skills—all within a fun, game-based environment full of laughter. Give your child a kickstart with active movement and community values in a positive mind-and-body setting, guided by instructors with over 25 years of experience teaching children.

We have adult Instructors teaching these classes for quality skills' development.

Please Note: These classes focus on teaching valuable skills—not on disciplining poor behavior. Children are expected to listen carefully and follow instructions. To support their learning and engagement, parents must remain present throughout the entire class.

We maintain a zero-technology environment to foster focused learning and keep class sizes small to ensure quality instruction and personalized, paced development for every child.

As Master Instructor and Manager of The PIT & Personal Defence Studios, I’ve spent nearly 30 years teaching children. Their curiosity, unique personalities, and eagerness to learn have remained wonderfully consistent. What has changed, however, is the world around them—and the challenges faced by parents.
Many of the most valuable lessons we teach aren’t visible or measurable in the moment, but their impact unfolds throughout a child’s life—if you have faith and patience in their journey. I strive to help every student become as resilient and flexible as bamboo—strong yet adaptable. Our mission is to add depth to the canvas of each individual’s character, providing them with the tools to paint their best, evolving self.
Notice I never once mentioned belts, kicks, or punches—though these physical skills are the vehicles we use. While I wish I could be on the floor with every student, I am one person supported by a dedicated team. My role is to nurture our entire student community, constantly researching and updating our methods to meet evolving fitness standards and societal needs. To be leaders in education and development, we actively engage with a broad network to bring you the very best.
I encourage you to chat with one of our Black Belts—ask why they continue training and how long they’ve been on this journey. They face life’s challenges just like you.
With a wild yell, your six-year-old launches into a karate kick, raising both your heart rate and eyebrows. Before you panic and start padding the walls, channel that energy into martial arts training. Some parents worry martial arts promote violence—but that’s a myth in a quality school. Martial arts teach self-discipline and social skills. Many parents of children with ADHD report remarkable progress, as martial arts help develop focus and self-control—skills often underdeveloped in those kids.
A typical class begins and ends with a respectful bow to the instructor. After warming up, students practice kicks, punches, and blocks—each requiring concentration and discipline.
Progress is marked by the belt system, guiding beginners from white to black through achievable milestones, often tested every three months for lower ranks and less frequently for advanced students. This system helps set and reach goals, building confidence along the way.
But experts say the greatest gift is the respect children learn—from bowing, standing still, and waiting patiently—which often carries over to improved behavior and grades at school.
As Bruce Lee famously said,
“The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.”
