At Fort Lauderdale Martial Arts Center (FLMAC) we believe that practicing the martial arts, in particular karate, is the single most important practice in which a child can participate to become a well rounded being. It instills the virtues of discipline, respect, responsibility, accountability, integrity, initiative, confidence, and others too numerous to mention.
For children who develop self-confidence and self-discipline early in life, practicing karate sets them on a path of higher learning, always questioning and seeking answers. We teach these virtues and reinforce them in a playful, structured, and safe environment. Throughout their martial arts training, children learn to be strong and stand up for themselves, while showing humility.
For adults, besides the obvious benefit of learning self-defense, there is stress relief, physical fitness, heightened self-confidence, and order in a busy, sometimes chaotic world. Above all, our program helps adults achieve higher levels of fitness which in turn promotes a long, healthy, and happy life. You are never too old or out of shape to practice Taido Karate.
Helping others experience the great benefits of martial arts is our goal.
