A short story from class
Last week, Mia from the Deer Park Highlands neighborhood came in feeling shy. She told her mom she was nervous about speaking up in class. By the end of practice, Mia was standing tall, calling out commands and helping her practice buddy. She said, “I feel proud and strong!”
Common concerns and helpful tips
Is this safe for my child?
Yes. Our classes use padded mats and close adult supervision. Young students learn to fall safely and practice with respect. We build skills step by step.
My child is shy. Will they fit in?
Every child starts as a beginner. We use the buddy system so each new student has a friend to practice with. In no time, shy kids become part of a team.
Does my child need experience?
No prior experience is needed. We welcome all levels, from first-timers to those with belts. Grand Master Chris Yaeger and our instructors guide every step.
What about bullies at school?
Our anti-bullying focus is built into every lesson. We teach kids how to set healthy boundaries, use their words, and seek help from grown-ups. If physical defense is needed, they know real-world moves that work.
Class schedule and options
We run weekday classes from 5:30 pm to 9:15 pm. Weekends are for tournaments, special events, and seminars. This gives busy families in Royalty Estates, Deepwater, and San Jacinto Village a chance to join.
