Kids Love Martial Arts Phoenix! Award Winning Children's Martial Arts in Phoenix and Scottsdale.


Kids Love Martial Arts Phoenix!
Handle Bullies, Build Confidence, Fight Fat, Build Focus and Strength!

Kids Karate


There are many reasons for children to become involved in the Martial Arts. At USA Martial Arts have developed an award-winning program based on the traditional martial arts of Taekwondo, Karate and Kung Fu for kids called Kids Karate. The Kids Karate system is based on a life skills and character development concept in addition to coordination and fitness skills. The foundation for our curriculum are monthly themes such as:

  • Goal setting
  • Friendship
  • Perseverance
  • Self Control
  • Confidence
  • Respect
  • Self Awareness
  • Courtesy
  • Integrity
  • Self Esteem
  • Dedication
  • Citizenship
  • Family Values
  • Teamwork
In addition to monthly themes, our system includes the unique Black Belt Success rewards system. Kids are rewarded special stripes, patches, stickers as well as belts. These incentives are awarded for outstanding performance in karate class, school, home, or at a tournament competition. As the Kids receive more stars, different colored patches are available to signify and recognize their accomplishments.
The Kids Karate program is intended for children between the ages of 6 and 12. To sign up your child or request more information, please feel free to contact us.
   

Little Tigers Taekwondo Phoenix

In addition to our internationally recognized Kids Karate program, we offer the Little Tigers Taekwondo Program. The Little Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 4 through 7. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as integrity, courtesy, self discipline, self control, respect, and citizenship. In addition, the program is designed to improve children's coordination and enhance their ability to listen, learn, focus and follow directions. USA Martial Arts Phoenix classes are taught using the most safe, fun and motivating teaching methods available for this age level. USA Martial Arts Phoenix Children's Little Tigers Taekwondo program works in cooperation with the Kids Karate program, thereby instilling the same important monthly themes and values.


Just like the Kids Karate program, Little Tigers Taekwondo have their own unique belt and reward system.  Incentives are earned in the same way as the Kids Karate training, with modifications in recognition of the preschool age of the child.  
The rank and testing system used by Taekwondo Tigers is slightly different than that of the Kids Karate curriculum. Little Tigers Taekwondo can earn themed animal patches to display on their belts.  


The Tiny Tigers program is intended for children between the ages of 3 and 6. To sign up your child or request more information, please contact us.

What is TaeKwonDo?
The martial art known as TaeKwonDo originated from Korea and is arguably the most widely practiced in the world today.
TaeKwonDo is an empty hand form of combat that incorporates the use of powerful, lightning speed kicks and strikes-although the art is most widely known for its extraordinary kicks.
Tae means Foot, Kwon means hand, and Do means the way of. In other words, TaeKwonDo is the art of the hand and the foot. The name (and art) TaeKwonDo was formed on April 11, 1955.
Tae Kwon Do is the national sport of South Korea. It is practiced by millions of people in over 200 countries. The martial art was accepted as an Olympic demonstration sport in the year 1988 in Seoul, South Korea and became a full medal sport in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
There are many different styles of TaeKwonDo. However, there are two primary categories that the various arts fall into: Sport or Traditional. 
The different styles teach different forms (or hyungs) that are to be practiced. Sport TaeKwonDo focuses more on competition and speed (sport), while Traditional TaeKwonDo focuses on strong self defense and traditional values.
What Does USA Martial Arts Teach?
USA Martial Arts TaeKwonDo teaches traditional TaeKwonDo with emphasis on practical self-defense (including a locking and throwing system consisting of Hapkido, TaeKwonDo and Yudo).  The founder got his start in a very traditional Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do (often called Korean Karate) and Kung Fu school and has continued with a lifetime's study of martial arts, earning numerous Black Belt, Master and Instructor rankings.  USA Martial Arts also offer students the opportunity to participate in tournaments at local, national and international levels. USA martial arts students have excelled at numerous competitions, producing many champions, and USA Martial Arts believes that healthy tournament competition helps a student to become his/her best. 
USA Martial Arts students begin with learning a classical form of Taekwondo because research has proven it to be one of the fastest ways to develop the basics and physical attributes to prevent injury, get in shape and develop a teachable and positive attitude.  As students progress they discover that they can specialize in a variety of disciplines from grappling, pressure points, weaponry, performance and much more.  USA Martial Arts curriculum embraces an University style approach to teaching, providing a foundation in general education requirements and encouraging specialization as students advance.
They also believe that competition is only one aspect of your martial arts journey.  USA Martial Arts teaches an integrated curriculum of martial arts that includes traditional and contemporary TaeKwonDo, which is based on the best of several disciplines.  This curriculum  focuses on strong self-defense and the curriculum was created by a team of Masters and experts with multi-discipline backgrounds.  This is why USA Martial Arts students learn more and faster than most schools. 
On the mat, our school focuses on effective self-defense, strong values, comeraderie, and community service. Our dojang (training hall) teaches the martial arts student to manifest the martial arts philosophy in their daily lives. We are not just about punching and kicking.
In four words, our school is Protection, Values, Health, and Community.
