Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Empower Your Child with Confidence and Skills at Texas Defense Academy
WELCOME TO TEXAS DEFENSE ACADEMY’S KIDS PROGRAM
At Texas Defense Academy, we believe that every child deserves the tools to navigate the world with confidence, resilience, and the ability to defend themselves. Our Kids Program is thoughtfully designed to foster physical fitness, self-defense skills, and mental discipline, all while creating a fun and engaging environment.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
1. Conditioning
Fitness is the foundation of everything we do. Our Kids Program incorporates engaging exercises that improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. By focusing on overall fitness, we ensure that your child is not only physically capable but also equipped to handle the demands of various activities, whether in sports, self-defense, or everyday life.
2. Self-Defense
In today’s world, self-defense knowledge is crucial. Our program teaches practical self-defense techniques that empower children to recognize and avoid dangerous situations. We focus on strategies that help kids feel secure and assertive, reducing their vulnerability to bullying. These skills give them the confidence to stand up for themselves and others, fostering a positive environment both inside and outside the dojo.
3. Anti-Bullying Education
Bullying is a serious issue that can impact a child’s emotional and social development. Our program includes specific training on how to handle bullying situations, emphasizing the importance of communication, confidence, and situational awareness. We equip our students with the skills to de-escalate conflicts and assert themselves safely, creating a supportive community that discourages bullying.
4. Filipino Martial Arts (FMA)
Our unique curriculum incorporates Filipino Martial Arts, which emphasizes fluid motion and coordination through a variety of techniques, including the use of sticks and bladed objects. FMA teaches children to develop ocular dexterityand quick reflexes, which are essential skills in both martial arts and everyday life. This training enhances their motor skills while keeping their minds sharp and focused.
5. Wrestling
Wrestling is a key component of our Kids Program, providing children with a solid understanding of body mechanics, leverage, and control. Through wrestling, kids learn to work with their opponents effectively, improving their strength and strategic thinking. It teaches them to navigate challenges, both physically and mentally, making it an invaluable aspect of their training.
WHY PARENTAL INVOLVEMENTS MATTERS
At Texas Defense Academy, we believe that parental involvement is vital for a child’s success. We encourage parents to participate in their child’s training, creating a special bond that enhances the learning experience. When parents engage in practice sessions at home, they not only help reinforce the skills their children are learning but also cultivate a supportive and encouraging environment.
Training together can foster meaningful conversations about confidence, resilience, and respect, establishing a strong foundation for your child’s growth and development.
