We teach kids martial arts that include a blend of functional disciplines as

well as Muay Thai and grappling arts for our adult students. No matter what your goals are, if you want to get faster, stronger, more disciplined, and more in tune with your body and its capabilities -- we can help you get there.

🎒 Back to school is a great time to get kids back into a routine and trying something new.

If you’ve been thinking about martial arts for your child, this is a great time to give it a try.

Our trial program is designed to give kids enough time to actually experience martial arts instead of expecting a family to make a decision after walking through the door once. They’ll meet our instructors, participate in real classes, learn some martial arts and get a feel for what being a Revolution student is actually like.

We have programs for different ages and experience levels, and your child doesn’t need any previous martial arts experience to get started.

More importantly, there’s no need to wonder whether your child will like martial arts. Bring them in and let them find out.

“My child needs to work on focus.”

We hear some version of that from parents pretty regularly, especially around the beginning of the school year.

One of the things we try to explain is that focus isn’t something a child either has or doesn’t have. It’s a skill, and like any other skill, it can be practiced.

Martial arts gives kids a lot of opportunities to practice it. They have to watch an instructor demonstrate something, listen to directions, remember a technique and then get their body to actually do what they just saw. When they get distracted, they have to bring their attention back. When they get frustrated, they have to regroup and try again.

Will a few karate classes suddenly make a child perfectly focused? Of course not. That’s not a promise we’re going to make.

What we can do is give them a place where they practice those skills over and over again every week.

If improving focus is one of your goals for your child this school year, you can learn more about our programs at RevolutionSelfDefense.com.

Here’s a little look at what a normal day at Revolution looks like.

There aren’t any actors in this video and we didn’t set up a special class to film a commercial. These are just our students doing what they do every week—learning martial arts, working hard, having fun and being challenged by instructors who know them.

One thing we want parents to know is that your child doesn’t need to already be confident, coordinated or athletic before starting martial arts. We’ve had plenty of students walk through our doors nervous on their first day and unsure whether they could do it.

That’s one of the reasons we have a trial program. Let them come in, meet us, get on the mat and see what they think.

You can learn more about our Clayton and Garner programs at RevolutionSelfDefense.com.

We talk a lot about what we want kids to get from martial arts, but it’s always better when we hear from a parent about the changes they’re seeing at home.

Thank you to this family, and all of our Revolution families, for trusting us with your kids. We know you have many choices about where your children spend their time, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.

What does it actually mean to teach a child discipline?

At Revolution, we teach our students a very simple definition: “Do as I should, always.”

That doesn’t mean we expect kids to be perfect. They’re going to make mistakes, lose focus, get frustrated and sometimes want to quit when something is difficult. That’s part of being a kid. Honestly, that’s part of being an adult too.

What we want them to learn is how to recognize what they should do and develop the discipline to do it.

In martial arts, they get opportunities to practice that all the time. They have to pay attention when they’d rather be distracted, keep practicing when a technique is difficult and try again when something doesn’t work the first time.

We’re definitely teaching punches and kicks, but hopefully we’re teaching some habits that will stick with them a lot longer than that.

Do as I should, always. That’s discipline.

🎒 A new school year brings new challenges.

Kids are walking into new classrooms with new teachers, new classmates, and new expectations. While we spend a lot of time getting them ready with school supplies, clothes, and everything else they need, some of the most important things they take to school can’t be bought at a store.

Confidence to believe in themselves. Focus to stay on task when things get difficult. Discipline to do what they should, even when they don’t necessarily feel like doing it.

Those are skills we work on every week at Revolution Modern Martial Arts. Of course, we teach kids how to punch, kick, and defend themselves, but we also want the lessons they learn on the mat to help them at school, at home, and everywhere else they go.

If you’re looking for something positive to add to your child’s routine this school year, we’d love to introduce your family to martial arts.
