Junior Adults Program - Ages 13-16
At the Midwest Academy of United Martial Arts, our Junior Adults program is the next level after the Protector's Program. Geared towards the 13-16 years of age child, we continue to focus on the foundation necessary to support good self-defense skills. We add motivational themes such as "Student of The Month", "Achievement Rewards", etc. to those children that show exceptional character and post them for all to see. While this program leads into the Adult program, it is at this stage that the child continues to build upon the following life skills:
- Build Self-respect
- Develop Self-discipline
- Instill values and Build character
- Improve Coordination
- Improve Flexibility, Strength, and Agility
- Improve Concentration/Focus
- Instill a Positive Attitude
- Build leadership skills, team skills and winning spirit
- Develop mind, body and spirit to work in harmony - avoid
conflict


The children will learn defensive skills associated with:
- Escaping patterns & footwork - Octagon drills
- Posturing - Gamae
- Basic & advanced techniques - kicking, striking, blocking
- Balance
- Ground techniques
- Control techniques (locks and throws)
- Cardiovascular conditioning
By employing these principles in our classes it is easy for us to guarantee your child's success at home or at school.
Most parents today enroll their child into a martial arts program because of something you saw on television or in the movies. When you first enter the dojo (karate school), you may be surprised to find that real martial arts does not reflect the box-office hit, or action-packed TV shows. While your child will have as much fun as the characters in the movies, we promise not to make actors out of them.
