Junior Adults/Teens Program
At the Midwest Academy of United Martial Arts, our Junior Adults program is the next level before the adult program. Geared towards the 15-17 years of age, we continue to focus on the foundation necessary to support good self-defense skills. While this program leads into the adult program, it is at this stage that the teen 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 operate in harmony – avoid conflict
The student will learn defensive skills associated with:
- Escaping patterns & footwork – Octagon drills
- Posturing – Gamae
- Basic & Advanced techniques – kicking, striking, blocking, sweeps
- Balance
- Control techniques (locks and throws)
- Indonesian Silat
By employing these principles in our classes, it is easy for us to guarantee your teens success at home or at school.

Training and learning under Guro Dave has been a truly fantastic experience. He is very considerate of individual skill level and will make sure anyone, even absolute beginners, feel welcome. I’ve been training here for about eight months and have learned a ton about self defense, situational awareness and even my own personal development. Overall a great place to train!

I was a complete beginner to this process and had never practiced martial arts prior to working with Guru Dave and his instructors. Being in my mid-thirties, I was apprehensive about my physical ability with such a demanding program. That being said, I have looked forward to coming to every class. I have learned a tremendous amount and enjoy the continued opportunity to learn more! I highly recommend this place!

I joined this school recently and am very happy with my decision to do so. Guro David is very knowledgeable and instructive. Everyone that trains here is helpful and friendly. There is a lot to learn and I look forward to every class I attend each week. The school has a wide range of experience levels and is very welcoming to new people. I will be here for a long time!

Awesome martial arts school! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Guru David has so much knowledge and experience in multiple arts. I think a true blend of arts is the best thing you can find and this is possible at this school because of the vast knowledge that Guru David has, even though you study each art individually. I really look at the group as a family. I learn so much and have so much FUN! I would recommend to anyone out there no matter their experience.

Love this place! I have been coming here for about a month now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The class sizes are relatively small with a variety of skill levels from beginners to advanced. Everyone is friendly and eager to help you learn. Guro Dave is amazing, He takes the time to introduce you to everyone and help beginners get acclimated with the basics. I was nervous at first, but after being in that environment for one class I have no problem going back.
