Our amazing Chester Springs Karate and Martial Arts at American Martial Arts Academy not only teach self-defense but also gives kids the tools needed to succeed in life. We do this by helping students develop confidence, focus, self-discipline, and self-esteem through our martial arts instruction. We teach our students real self-defense and help them get in the best shape of their lives, which helps our students create a positive outlook, a spirit of constant improvement, and an attitude that refuses to give up.
Why Martial Arts is so Exciting?
From our pre-school programs to our martial arts fitness programs, our instructors are dedicated to helping you and/or your family achieve your individual goals.
Why is it so Popular?
Martial arts are so popular because no other activity can provide the same results as martial arts for each individual participant. Whether your goals are self-confidence, self-defense, personal development, fitness, flexibility or to earn a black belt, American Martial Arts Academy will take you there.
Great for Children
Parents today are recognizing that the public school system is not enough. Millions of parents are bringing martial arts, as we teach here, into their children’s lives to supplement their education.
Children in martial arts have a lower level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of self-esteem; higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be radical.
Parents report these five important benefits their children in our school experience:
1. Our reward system improves children’s self-esteem
Martial Arts is not like team sports because the emphasis is on developing the individual’s self-esteem not the team’s winning record. The belt system is the key. When kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.
2. Our program teaches children discipline
On of the things parents appreciate most about our classes is the improvement in their child’s self-discipline. We have a wonderful staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.
3. Our activities channel children’s aggression
Many doctors actually prescribed our school for treatment because of the positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.
4. Our confidence classes enhance children’s self-esteem
We believe confidence is one of the most important things we can give kids. That’s why every class we teach has confidence-building drills included.
5. Our program teaches children essential self-defense skills
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 sister, or neighbor.
Martial Arts is a Fun, Fulfilling Workout for Adults
Our adult students really appreciate the differences between martial arts training and standard exercise programs.
6. Our workouts are a great way to get in shape
Martial arts like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape.
7. Our classes relieve stress
Martial arts is well known for its stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard, health club type exercise programs.
8. Our classroom practice sessions give you confidence
I think the confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself, if you have to.
9. What we teach you could save your life
At American Martial Arts Academy, everything we teach is reality based. Our instructors work very hard to insure that most any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared.
10. Our program is a lot of fun
The reason our program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago that if people are having fun, they learn much faster.
Our Programs
We a have number of different programs to offer even the busiest students. From our martial arts for children and pre-school classes to our martial arts fitness, and black belt programs we have a program for everyone.
Our Instructors
Rather than tell you about our championships and black belt rankings, we prefer to focus on our students. Certainly, we’re proud of our instructor’s accomplishments. But, we’re more proud of the achievements of our students. Our instructors understand that the student’s individual progress is the most important focus of their attention. That’s why our instructors continue to be students themselves. They take classes, attend seminars and continually work to improve their ability to help our students reach their goals.
Our Commitment to You
We’re so confident in our program that we offer a money back guarantee. If, within your first 30-days, you don’t feel you are getting the benefits you desire from our school, we will refund your money. Try getting that from a health spa.
