Orlando’s Best
After-School Program
After-School Pickup Provided!
Students are picked up daily at school by reliable staff.
We pick up your child from school and take them right to our martial arts studio for an afternoon of martial arts. We have fun, games, exercise, lessons on life — a wide range of activities including free time for homework.
Your Child Will Be In A Safe Place
The Safety and Security of your child are our highest priority during our After-School Martial Arts program.
Parents are impressed by the level of security and safety at our after-school program. In fact, we pick your kids up from school in our own staff vehicle.
We never hand them off to anyone else. We want our students to feel safe while they’re with us — that’s why we make sure they have a welcoming and motivating learning environment.
What We Feed Grows
Children do not lack focus or concentration. They spend hours FOCUSED on their phones.
What kids lack is the discipline to focus on what is actually nourishing for their mind, body, and spirit.
The instructors for our After-School Martial Arts are good, positive role models that will help your children make the most of their participation in our program.
We Are MATA Certified
The Martial Arts Teachers’ Association (MATA) Instructor Certification is the premier martial arts instructors’ professional certification.
The comprehensive program includes child psychology, motivation, pedagogy, movement science, effective communication and more.
We know that walking into a martial arts school can be intimidating. That’s why are staffed with professional instructors trained in modern teaching methods and certified by the Martial Arts Teachers’ Association.

JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT
OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
What We Do
Safety and Security
Our after-school program facility is a clean and safe environment for your child. Our instructors are trained not to just look out for the safety and security of our kids, but also keeping our facility spotless and clean.
Structure
From free time to learning time, our schedule has been developed through the years to keep kids engaged and active throughout the day. We also include a rest period so children can take a nap, read a book or just relax quietly
Empower Kickboxing™ Training
Empower Kickboxing™ is an easy-to-learn martial arts system that is perfect for a summer camp setting. The skills are highly effective and easy to learn, unlike traditional martial arts.
Life Skills Training
Kids will learn about decision-making and actually do roleplays that will increase their confidence when faced with an uncomfortable situation like dealing with bullies. We’ll teach them situational awareness so they can recognize and avoid bad cirumcstances.
What We Don’t Do
We Don't Baby Sit
Our business is NOT the supervision or babysitting business. We teach kids martial arts and mentor children, building discipline, respect, instilling character, manners, and life skills, exercise, and self-defense.
We Are a No Bully Zone
In our facility, bullying isn’t tolerated. We actually host seminars with national bullying experts to teach our families what bullying is and how to prevent it.
We Do Not Permit Foul Language
We want kids to develop confidence and character. Words matter and we help the kids understand that through lessons and example.
We Do Not Compromise on Safety
Nothing is more important to you and to us than the safety of your child. Our instructors are screened and trained to always place safety first.
We Do Not Allow WiFi on Our Computers
We’ve been teaching our kids that earning privileges is an important life skill indeed. One privilege they earn is access to our game area. We have only G-rated games in the section and children are allowed to bring their own games inside. None of our computers have WiFi, which means no temptations.
