Ryer Academy offers age-specific programs for children starting at three years old: Pre-School (3 to 5 years old), Youth (6 to 9 years old), and Teens (10 to 15 years old). Our martial arts programs for children builds a strong foundation in social and emotional learning using realistic martial arts instruction. You will see improvements in your child's attitude; their ability to engage and show empathy towards others; as well as an improvement in making responsible decisions. There is a built-in physicality with practicing martial arts, so your child will be encouraged to be active and exercise. This will improve your child's aerobic activity, muscle and bone strength, and their flexibility. But what makes Ryer Academy's Kids' Martial Arts program unique is that we go beyond the physical skills as we incorporate Verbal Martial Arts into our curriculum. Unfortunately bullying is a huge problem and we teach kids how to deflect bullying by using tactical communication methods. These methods allow kids to communicate clearly, think critically and creatively, and solve problems effectively.
In addition we offer adult martial arts for men and women in reality-based self defense. The primary goal of our Adult Program is to help you develop a healthy life and to teach you how to protect yourself and your loved ones while providing a safe training environment. As a member you will be introduced to progressive categories of training. These categories include empty hand training; including striking, stand-up grappling, and ground fighting; also weapon training in stick, knife, and gun tactics. As you find success in this training not only do your survival skills improve, but your confidence will grow. It is this confidence that is the biggest benefit Ryer Academy can offer you. An increase in your confidence is immeasurable and will positively affect all areas of your life.
