Adult Program
Ages 16 and Up

Praise, encouragement and positive reinforcement are common place in the dojo. Classes are enjoyable, entertaining and planned to ensure that we keep the attention of the students and have everyone wanting to come back for more. Students in the Adult class are looking to have fun and get in shape. We meet that expectation and then some. Students gain flexibility, balance, quick reflexes, coordination, muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness.

The Academy's belt promotion system is based on the principle of constant and never ending improvement towards Black Belt excellence. Self-confidence and improved self-esteem are developed through a series of wining experiences. Students can earn new belts, special colored stripes for their belt and patches for their uniform.

We call it the "Black Belt Success Cycle"

• Know what you want

• Have a plan, and a success coach

• Take consistent action

• Review your progress

• Renew your goals

The martial arts belts represent short-term goals, stepping stones towards the achievement of the most sought after belt; the BLACK BELT. Students set their goal, practices and work for it, achieves it and sets a new goal. They start to believe in themselves and it gives them an experience that they can look back on and say, "If I can do that I can do anything I put my mind to!"

Many adults these days are a little overweight, some more than others. Our lives are very busy, yet sedentary. We don't get enough exercise; we have too much stress, which is slowing killing us. Yet, we always seem to find a reason not to make the time to do something that is important for our health and well being.

"I have tried exercise plans, health clubs, gyms and even home work out equipment. I stay with it for few months and get bored!"

Most of us have good intentions. We know we need to exercise, lose a few pounds, look and feel better, or rid ourselves of stress. Memberships get wasted, the videotapes you ordered are collecting dust somewhere. How about that exercise machine you bought that turned into an expensive clothes rack (before it ended up in a garage sale?)

So what is the solution?		The US Martial Arts Academy!
But why martial arts?		Great Question.

At the Academy, everything we teach is reality based. Our instructor's work very hard to insure that any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared. We will teach both verbal and non-verbal self-defense skills in a safe and friendly environment.

Are you Stressed Out?

Quality martial arts classes are well known for their stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of a standard health club type exercise programs. Increase the levels of relaxation for a longer healthier life. Our martial arts classes are designed to be a mini-vacation twice a week.

Are you Ready to Met New Friends?

Whether you're new to the community or looking to increase your circle of friends, the Academy is there for you. The atmosphere here is one of a strong family with respect for one another and friendship.

Are you Interested in a Higher Quality of Life?

Can you remember a time when you had a high level of confidence? Have you ever had a large amount of pride or a positive self-image. The answer is YES. Everyone has experienced these feelings at one point in time. Our program will not teach you how to be successful, it will expose your hidden potential. Our Adult program will improve concentration for better work and study habits. You will gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are able to protect yourself and family. You will increase self-control and self-discipline to develop a positive attitude toward life. These are just a few of the ways that our program will provide you and your family with a higher quality of life.

Are you Ready to Have Fun?

Another reason our Adult program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago that if people are having fun, they learn much faster. Setting and achieving goals, getting in shape and building life skills provide for an exciting experience.
