Point Blank’s unique ABC (Agility, Balance, Coordination) martial arts program for kids focuses on building a solid foundation to lifelong fitness, contributing to your child’s Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD), and providing a fun and safe learning environment for your children.

With our ‘Play as a Way’ approach to training; your child will learn to master the skills incorporated in age-appropriate drills, activities and games. Participating in these drills, activities, or playing, will help them make the adjustments necessary in their skill development and bring them to a higher level of thinking, making play very educational and beneficial.

Our training extends beyond kicking and punching. The customary traditional values of discipline and respect are an active part of our classes. This includes standing at attention when asked, responding with respect by saying “yes sir”, bowing, and maintaining a positive attitude while still having a lot of fun.

This class is specifically for children ages 7 to 13 years old. Children in this age range have specific characteristics that differ from the younger children and the teens and adults. They are sharper and more focused than children 7 and under, however, they are still not quite ready to face the same challenges and training curriculum taught to the teens and adults. Like younger children 7 to 13 year old also benefit from a more age-specific type of training that will help them develop the best; physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

Your child will learn and grow in a training environment that accommodates their skills and abilities. They will train with other children in their age group, and not have to be distracted by younger or intimidated by older classmates. This means their training will not be slowed down due to the learning abilities of a younger child; and it will not be sped up to keep up with the capabilities of a teen or adult. This means better, more functional classes designed just for them. Your child will feel comfortable and more capable of achieving excellence. They are at an age where the more special they feel, the harder they will try.

With the right character development and with positive reinforcement, your child will face their transition as a teenager with an enthusiastic outlook. It will also provide them with the necessary skills development, knowledge and confidence to transition into the the teen/adult Mixed Martial Arts class.

Because the class is age specific it will target the characteristics of pre-teens and utilizes those characteristics to help them develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. They will learn, build confidence, gain courage and grow stronger through this training. They will learn how to think smarter and harder with children their same age.

Your child will develop her/his skills with Mixed Martial Arts/Jeet Kune Do training in such arts as Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Grappling, Wing-Chun Kung-Fu, Wrestling, Kali-Eskrima and others.

Here is a brief list of some of the skills that your child will further develop in this class: 

• Concentration: Your child will learn how to focus all of their attention to the task at hand while committing themselves to learning and growing.
• Perseverance: Your child will learn how to face challenges presented to them; knowing that the challenges will be difficult to complete.
• Courage: Your child will learn how to overcome fear and nervousness through training that initially seems intimidating.
• Intensity: Your child will learn how to perform their karate and jiu jitsu techniques with a strong effort and intense attitude.Speed: Your child will learn the components of speed and how to control their balance, body posture, positioning and technique in the process.
• Agility: your child will learn the mechanics that govern movement and how it plays a role when they are jumping, dodging and moving about quickly.
• Technique: Your child will learn the fundamental components of what good technique is and how they are appplied unde pressure, which will make them great athletes.
• Flexibility: Your child will gain and maintain flexibility through fun and educational training drills.

Complete development of these skills will help your child be the best they possibly can be at their age of development. They will become at the top of their age group, while they learn and have fun in the process. You and your child will not regret the adventure they are about to undertake.

The class includes regular level grading based on individual development and performance improvements, not routine or choreographed movements.

Our teaching method:

• We do not train children. We assist them to develop to their full potential.
• We do not condition them to respond predictably through routine technique.
• We provide the conditions for them to evolve and create dynamic means by which to achieve success.
• We do not use a win or lose paradigm. We use incremental and progressively increasing challenges in complexity, intensity, and unpredictability to provide the child with positive feedback and “errorless learning.”

We are not there to think for them. We are there to reinforce an environment conducive to the stability and maintenance of independence, freedom, and creativity.
