A daytime class built around the homeschool day. Kids of every level train together on fundamentals, drills and games.
See class times →My daughter has been going here since she was 6 years old. … my daughter has gained confidence and discipline that is beyond her years. The instructors are great and the kids are well prepared for competitions
The facilities are new and clean. The instructors/staff are knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. My son (6) has enjoyed training here for over a year and we look forward to continuing as part of the Embrace community.
Embrace has a fantastic atmosphere for families and does a great job of youth development in the world of martial arts. The Professors and Coaches do a phenomenal job of teaching and holding the students accountable but are also approachable and offer safe environment for the kids.
No, 3 is not too young. Our coaches have a ton of experience working with young kids, and Level 1 is built for them.
That's more than okay. Lots of kids start out shy and nervous, and they open up. Our coaches are great with quiet kids and know how to help them feel at home on the mat.
No. Competing is completely optional and nobody gets pushed into it. Learning comes first here. If your child wants to compete, a coach will help them get ready.
First classes are on weekdays. Saturday open mats are for kids who are already training with us.
