Core Martial Arts Classes

Our Core Classes are  made up of 9 Key Components; but first and foremost, classes need to be fun. 

Why would we continue to do things that we don't enjoy? 

...

We don't. That's why it's key to make classes enjoyable for students while maintaining the discipline and etiquette necessary for growth and success.
