The training Sensei Long gives junior students is literally inspirational. He has found a way to involve and motivate the kids that not only gets them fit but gives them a great deal of fun. The motivation the children have for the training and grading for belts has allowed him to develop a system that improves their behaviour and effort at school and at home.

The Academy’s syllabus has been designed to incorporate life skills such as First Aid, Stranger Danger, and the Bully Buster system. All junior programs contain educational values and classes are taught in a nurturing environment. The academy uses the term black belt excellence as a metaphor for personal excellence. We strongly encourage our junior students to strive for black belt excellence in all aspects of life, especially in their academic studies. There are countless benefits to Martial Arts training for children including fitness, concentration, self-discipline, confidence, and good social skills. And just as important the kids love the classes.
