YOUTH & ADULT MARTIAL ARTS & KICKBOXING

Ages 4 to 7: This class will focus on laying the foundation for strong character, focus, discipline, respect, listening skills, caring, awareness, coordination, and agility.

Ages 8 to 13: In this course you will learn a variety of strikes, kicks, blocks, proper stances, and how to fall safely. You will also learn self-defense techniques against grabs, holds, chokes and punches. A strong emphasis for both age groups will be placed on building confidence, focus, discipline, respect, and manners.

Adults: • Brazilian Jiu Jitsu- Referred to as “Gentle Art,” is a martial art that focuses

on controlling an opponent and making them submit through choke holds, joint locks, or superior position which inflicts a level of discomfort. Most of the techniques in Jiu Jitsu are ground based due to the idea that control is easier to achieve on the ground as opposed to standing. Through the use of leverage and position students will learn to overcome their opponents. This class offers something for everyone, including physical fitness, self-defense, and mental focus. All skill sets are welcome to join!

• Kickboxing- This class is 45 minutes of intense cardio training, Muay Thai, and boxing techniques. We recommend this class to anyone interested in learning self-defense, training for competition, or just wanting to get into great shape! Comfortable clothes and a water bottle are recommended.

This program is in partnership with Next Level Martial Arts Academy out of Portage. Next Level Martial Arts Academy is offering an introductory and advanced course in Martial Arts. Sessions for four age groups are being offered.

Participants will not be required but are recommended to purchase a uniform for $34.99 from Next Level. Please call the Park & Rec office if you have questions or visit our website at www.citywd.org.
