MOM & DAD,
WE UNDERSTAND HOW MANY CHALLENGES YOU FACE AS A PARENT,
RAISING A CHILD IN THE MODERN WORLD.
Teaching children to know right from wrong is one of the toughest challenges parents have to face.
You want your child to have the tools to succeed in life, but protecting them from peer pressure, bullying and internet predators can make any parent feel overwhelmed with anxiety and stress.
The dangers our children face today are unbelievable. We don’t want to be paranoid, but we do want them to be safe. The best way to accomplish this is to have a set plan both at home and away from home. At Rifkin Professional Karate Center, we realize that in order to give a child a head start in life, they must possess certain skills.
Although the need for self-defense both Mentally and Physically is important, we cannot ignore the Life Skills and Mental Benefits that we must teach our children.
Parenting should not have to be a stressful task you face alone! Let Rifkin Professional Karate Center help you equip your child for success in the real world.

RIFKIN PROFESSIONAL KARATE CENTER IS YOUR PARTNER IN PARENTING
We have all met in our lifetime a child that glows from inside. Whether it is a sparkle in the eyes or a perpetual smile, they glow from some intangible light that tells us this child has a soaring spirit. The child is confident without being boastful, content without being smug.
With separate children and adult classes, we provide the personal attention children need to excel.
Martial Arts can be a valuable tool in the development of young minds. With an emphasis on showing proper respect for others, behaving with compassion in victory and dignity in defeat, we help shape the values that will extend beyond the walls of our studio.
PREPARING CHILDREN FOR TODAY'S WORLD
Our Children’s Karate program combines traditional martial arts training with high-level character development and state of the art teaching methods. Not only do our children learn self-defense, they also develop very positive feelings about themselves and others.
There are many concerns with how our children are growing up in today’s world. The pressures on our youth today are very different from when we were growing up.
Children don’t only have to worry about getting good grades and behaving, they have the constant battle of avoiding drugs, gangs, violence, bullying, peer pressure and are under the constant threat of being abducted by an adult or another child.
Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home and try them on their family members or neighbors.

3 WAYS OUR KIDS MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES HELP YOUR CHILD REACH THEIR POTENTIAL:
TEAMWORK & SOCIAL SKILLS
Social interaction teaches kids how to effectively work as part of a team.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Martial arts helps improve coordination and is an excellent form of exercise.
BUILD HEALTHY HABITS
Building healthy habits early on can help prevent obesity and diabetes later in life.
LEARN GOAL-SETTING SKILLS
Our reward system improves children’s self-esteem. The belt system is the key to building esteem. When kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.
IMPROVE FOCUS AND SELF-CONTROL
Complex physical activities such as martial arts have proven to strengthen the brain’s neural networks, helping kids improve their focus and self-control. This can be especially beneficial for kids with ADD/ADHD.
A STRONG SENSE OF RESPECT
The traditional nature of martial arts teaches kids respect in their classes, whether they are taking a bow or waiting patiently for the next set of instructions. This sense of respect also helps kids improve their grades, while improving their listening skills at home and in school.
STRESS RELIEF
Victims of bullying experience extreme stress. If bullied at school, they’re often anxious to attend. Martial arts relieve stress, making your child feel less anxious and more at ease. For bullies, using martial arts to relieve stress helps lent out pent-up energy and anger. It gives them a safe space to blow off steam. Of course, self-defense is a part of martial arts. But the process of learning these self-defense techniques is about building confidence. A victim of bullying that now knows they can protect themselves thanks to their martial arts training will appear much more confident. Much of the time, this confidence in itself prevents bullying.
FAQ
Most frequent asked questions and answers
The great thing about our program is that the earlier you get started, the better your long-term results!
We have children in our programs that started as early as 5 years old, but since children develop at different rates, the best (and really, ONLY) way to see if your child is ready for our program is to take advantage of one of our WEB SPECIALS and try it for yourself!
No. In fact, quite the opposite!
Children are exposed to HUGE amounts of simulated and real violence on video games, television, movies, the internet and other media outlets.
But in our unique program, we teach students real, practical, effective violent conflict resolution techniques and tactics that can defuse the situation before it escalates to violence. We also teach escape techniques and tactics that even “smaller” people can use to move to safety if approached by a potentially dangerous situation.
Should your child be confronted with an aggressive situation that can’t be resolved peacefully or escaped from, he or she will also then possess the basic martial arts skills to defend themselves.
There are so many!
Martial arts students benefit from increased physical fitness and mental focus.
The focus on self-discipline, respect, self-confidence, and perseverance in the face of setbacks builds character in students young and old. Our students also join a community of people who share an interest in martial arts, improving their own way of life, and making a positive contribution in the community.
We know how busy your life is as a parent, so our program is designed so that students can make exciting progress by attending classes an average of two to three times a week.
Some students will want to attend more classes, and that’s great- we have options for that!
Really, the only way to know if our program is a good fit for you and your family is to try it for yourself!
We have some GREAT WEB SPECIALS, so you can try the program with no strings attached, and see for yourself how the program will benefit you or your child.
One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual and will progress at their own rate.
Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance!
So, even students that aren’t as physically fit as the star quarterback of the football team can have a wonderful experience in our program, and become stronger, fitter, and more flexible.
