Family Martial Arts' mission statement is "Strength, Confidence, and Community Through Martial Arts." In addition to the physical skills we teach, we reinforce these important core values by word and deed. We emphasize discipline, respect, and honor in our actions on and off the mat, at school, home, and in our daily lives. Our schools offer taekwondo and hapkido classes for students of all ages from 4 years old and up. The training is fun, physically challengeing for students at all fitness levels, and our curriculum is comprehensive. Students learn taekwondo forms (poomses), kicks, blocks, stances and Olympic sparring. In tandem with taekwondo, we teach hapkido (Korean self-defense). Hapkido training includes grabs, wrist locks, falls and rolls. The paring of taekwondo and hapkido together gives Family Martial Arts students a full spectrum of martial arts skills. Family Martial Arts also has thriving After School and Summer Camp programs. Our After School program has been running since 2009. We help families make the most of their after school hours; the kids have daily martial arts classes, homework study hall, and social time in a supportive, bully-free environment. We pick the kids up at school in our academy vans, clearly wrapped for easy identification by our students and their teachers. After school includes full-day teacher workday camp, 7:30am to 6:00pm at no additional cost, and we do early release pick-up for Chatham County schools (Orange County does delayed openings instead of early release. We have an extremely high retention rate, typically over 90% of our students return every year. Many of our 5th graders have been with us since kindergarten! Family Martial Arts Summer Program runs all summer, with weekly camp sessions offering daily martial arts classes, field trips, swimming, bowling, arts and crafts, and so much more.
