How old does my child need to be to participate in martial arts at Freestyle?

We welcome children ages four and older, and we’ll work with you and your child to find the program that fits best.

Are martial arts recommended for children? Won’t it make my child aggressive?

Practicing martial arts is a wonderful extracurricular activity for children. The lessons your child learns in martial arts class, such as respect, self-discipline and how to set and achieve goals, will extend beyond the mats in many positive ways. Numerous studies have shown that students in martial arts are less aggressive, have better self-esteem, function better in school and become more self-reliant.
