Teaching Great Kids to become Champions in Life...since 1992 Give your Child a strong start on Life! Our Little Champions Classes are fast-paced, fun filled, educational and motivational. Kids love Karate and parents love watching their kids learn and grow in a positive, well disciplined and encouraging atmosphere. Each class is filled with exciting, hi-energy drills that are carefully designed to develop important life skills. Classes start simple and gradually become more challenging based on each children's individual pace and readiness for new material. All lessons are based on positive recognition, reward and reinforcement for effort, skill, manners, sportsmanship and respectful treatment of others. Self-confidence and Self Esteem are built in a gradual step-by-step fashion. Martial Arts training builds a strong foundation that can easily be applied in academics, sports, arts and social settings outside the dojo.

L'il Tigers Success Formula

Our Little Tigers program is an excellent choice for giving your child a strong start on life. Whether it be the early demands and concerns of pre-school, or the natural fears of loosening the reigns of control on your child's daily activities. These early years are so vital in developing the habits that lead to a healthier, happier and more confident child.

We teach and instill basic developmental skills that will show up in many aspects of life such as: showing proper manners, how to look someone in the eyes, shake their hand and give a polite greeting, improved listening skills, longer periods of focus and attention span, self control of one's actions and attitudes, learning to participate in group activities and getting along well with others. It's no magic pill and it doesn't happen in one class. However, for many parents, our program is the perfect alliance and is one of the most valued investments for their child. For over 30 years, we've had outstanding success teaching kids how to become goal-oriented, athletic and academic achievers. We believe that every child has the potential to become an achiever and a Champion in Life!

Kung Fu Panda Free Game for Kids

From your friends at Kung Fu for Kids USA Martial Arts  in Paradise Valley Phoenix Arizona

How Our Martial Arts Program Will Help Raise a Safer, Happier, Healthier Kid


Here’s How Our Martial Arts Program Will Help You Raise a Safer, Happier, Healthier Child
- In Just 90 Minutes a Week!”

Dear Parents,

We here at USA Martial Arts Taekwondo Karate Kung Fu for Kids understand how hard it is to raise children these days. We also know all the worries you have for your kids – bullying from their peers, pressure to abuse drugs and alcohol, and adult images in the media and on the Internet.

Children today have to deal with challenges that are overwhelming. Sadly, it is nearly impossible to shield your children from these ever-present negative influences. However, there is something you can do to help them deal with the many challenges they face.

Many parents have already discovered that martial art training is one of the most beneficial activities in which your child can participate. A martial arts school is a place where a child can learn self-control, respect, and get in shape, all in a safe and fun environment.

By enrolling your child in our martial arts classes, you’ll be helping them learn how to make positive choices.  Plus, you’ll be giving them a safe place where they can develop the confidence to do what is right.
The Life-Changing Positive Benefits Our Martial Arts Program Provides
Every year, parents like you bring their children to enroll in our children’s martial arts program. Every year, those children reap the rewards that our properly instructed martial art programs provide.

In our martial arts program, your child will improve their confidence, increase their focus, and develop more self-control. We can say this with confidence because we have personally witnessed the positive effects our programs have provided for children just like your own.

Here a short explanation of how our programs teach these valuable life skills:
  • Confidence - By learning how to protect themselves, your children will develop confidence in their ability to handle life’s challenges. In turn, their improved confidence will give them the courage to say “no” to negative influences.
  • Focus – We will help your child increase their focus by giving them clear goals and showing them how to reach those goals through hard work and being consistent. (Of course, they won’t realize they’re learning focus because our classes are so much fun! Keep that to yourself – it’ll be our little secret…)
  • Self-control – Kids learn self-control in the martial arts by learning how important it is to have respect, both for themselves and for others. Martial arts training teaches that in order to get respect, you first have to give it. Once your child learns this important lesson, their self-control will naturally increase.
As you can see, our martial arts programs teach so much more than just kicks and punches.” We help children develop life-skills that will take them far beyond the four walls of our martial art school – benefits that will last them a lifetime.


Positive Role Models Who Will Encourage Your Child to Succeed
Kids need strong role models who set a positive example for them to follow. Yet, everyone knows that kids can’t look up to professional athletes anymore – so where can they turn for positive examples to follow?

Our answer to this question is our professional staff of caring instructors. We honestly believe our martial art instructors are some of the best role models your child could have.

Experience has shown us that kids respond to our martial art teachers in way that no other coach or instructor can match. SInce we realize how much our students look up to us, we work hard to set a positive example for them by living the martial arts principles of honesty, integrity, courage, kindness, and self-control.

As you know, children are hard-wired to seek attention and approval. So, when kids see positive behaviors demonstrated by our instructors, they are strongly driven to display those same behaviors in their own actions.

I t doesn’t stop there – our martial art classes come with a "“built-"in reward system that will encourage your child to act as they should. This "“built-"in” reward system is our belt-rank progression program. Children in our programs know they are expected to behave at home and at school in order to progress to their next belt rank.

This “one-two punch ”of providing inspiring role models and giving your child positive feedback works amazingly well to help children improve their behavior. To date, we know of no other extracurricular activity that provides kids with such incredible incentives for displaying good behavior.

And, it works. Just visit our school and ask some of the parents who have had their children enrolled in our programs.

When you do, you’ll hear story after story of how our programs have helped their children improve their behavior and achieve greater success. Parents share these stories with us all the time, and frankly we’re quite proud to have had a small part in improving each child’s life.


Proof That Martial Arts Training Helps Build Happier Kids
However, we don’t just want you to take our word for it. In fact, there’s plenty of solid research that proves martial arts training promotes better behavior and improved attitudes in school age children.

Here are just a few of the most recently published studies and articles describing the benefits of martial arts training for children.
  • A 2001 study published in the psychology journal Adolescence showed a vast improvement in good behavior and a noticeable reduction in violent behavior among children who took martial arts classes for just 90 minutes a week.
  • Another article published in Adolescence in 1998 described how martial arts programs decrease violent behavior in children and teens.
  • A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology showed thatchildren who participated in martial art training had better behavior and higher scores on a mental math test.
  • The Magazine for Physical Therapy praised martial art training as a helpful activity for special needs children.
  • An article in the December 2002 issue of The International Journal of Contemporary Family Therapy recommended families take martial art classes because of the many positive effects martial arts training provides to family members.
As you can see, the evidence is conclusive - martial art training works! There is no other activity that has been proven to bring such a great improvement in the well-being of children. Now, just imagine what a difference our martial arts program will make in your own child’s life…

Eight Reasons our Martial Arts Program Work for Kids


USA Martial Arts Paradise Valley

Eight Reasons Our Programs Work

One: A Value Based CurriculumValues such as, non-violence, respect, honesty, integrity, good sportsmanship, getting good grades in school, and proper behavior have been traditionally and still are the foundation of the martial arts and our classes. Children are taught that if they do their best they will be their best

Two: A Motivation Based CurriculumPositive attitudes are developed by our students as they set their goals to increase their skills and obtain their new belt levels. Positive reinforcement is given to each student to be all that they can be.

Three: A Leadership Based CurriculumKung Fu 4 Kids students are leaders. All of our students are encouraged to work with each other and share their knowledge and skills with students who need help. This gives each student an awareness of their own self worth and increases their self confidence. This transcends the martial arts school and manifests itself into daily life enabling each student to be a leader and not a follower.
Four: A Fitness Based CurriculumThe martial arts develop physical skills such as eye hand coordination, gross motor skills, improved balance, increase total coordination, and additional self confidence based on their newly learned skills.

Five: A Written CurriculumOur written curriculum is clearly detailed enabling both the students and their parents to follow the course of instruction and always know when their next promotion will be.

Six: ConvenienceWe have classes that will fit into almost any schedule. Our “After School Program” will even pick your children up at school.

Seven: A Family CurriculumOur wide range of programs enables the whole family to learn the Martial Arts and build a strong family structure.

Eight: A Caring StaffAll of our classes are taught by qualified, caring and enthusiastic teachers.
