Kids Martial Arts for Ages 6 to 12
Junior Basic is our core kids martial arts and Taekwondo program for children ages 6 to 12. Classes combine practical martial arts skills, structured instruction, goal setting, and positive coaching to help students grow stronger both physically and mentally.
More Than Kicks and Punches
Students gain confidence by learning new skills, working through challenges, and seeing their effort lead to improvement. Every class gives children opportunities to set goals, practice with purpose, and take pride in their progress.
That confidence carries beyond the mat into school, friendships, sports, and everyday situations.
Structure With Encouragement
Junior Basic gives students a structured place to practice listening, following directions, managing energy, and completing tasks with care. Our instructors balance clear expectations with positive coaching and encouragement.
These habits help children become more responsible, respectful, and prepared to handle challenges in and outside of class.
Skills for School and Life
Students learn practical martial arts and self-defense skills while also developing perseverance, coordination, fitness, leadership, and good decision-making.
The goal is not simply to earn the next belt. It is to help each student become more confident, capable, and prepared for whatever comes next.
Built for Growing Students
Junior Basic is beginner-friendly and available at both our Lakeview and Chalmette locations for children ages 6 to 12.
