SEE HOW McGraw's Martial Arts STACKS UP
Explore our comparison between martial arts and traditional sports to see why martial arts could be a more beneficial and fulfilling choice for your child's overall growth and development.
Traditional sports sometimes focus more on physical prowess and less on the holistic development of a child, potentially neglecting important aspects like emotional intelligence and personal character development.
Team selections and competitive play can sometimes lead to exclusion or benching of less skilled players, which can be disheartening and impact their enthusiasm for physical activity.
A strong focus on winning can overshadow the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and simply enjoying the game, which are vital aspects of sports for children.
In team sports, individual attention from coaches can be limited, which may hinder the personal skill development and confidence of less naturally talented children.
Martial arts is a great way for kids to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness in an enjoyable and dynamic setting.
As children master new skills and earn belts, their confidence soars. This sense of achievement helps build their self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
Regular practice of martial arts requires discipline and concentration, skills that are transferable to all areas of life, including academic performance.
Children learn to respect their instructors and peers, fostering an environment of mutual respect. They also develop better listening skills, which are crucial for learning and social interactions.
LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS
Your kids’ everyday friends aren’t the main concern anymore when it comes to character development. Now you have to worry about all the negative and harmful influences that the internet can introduce into your children’s lives.
The true benefit of McGraw’s Martial Arts are the character and success traits that are developed through martial arts training.
Through learning the skills and techniques of martial arts, to the guidance and inspiration of our instructors and the positive social interaction with their fellow classmates, your kids will develop a whole list of skills.
FITNESS DISGUISED
Face it. Between the foods we eat and the constant sitting and staring into screens and devices, many kids aren’t getting enough regular exercise.
Our martial arts classes for kids are full exercise routines disguised as a boatload of fun! That’s because they are jam packed with activities, games and drills that are all designed to disguise the repetition of training.
Of course it’s important for your kids to exercise and wear themselves out – they stay healthy, sleep well, and develop their minds and bodies. But just as important, our classes will help develop at a young age the physical habits they need to grow into healthy adults.
SELF-DEFENSE FROM PREDATORS AND BULLIES
We never want our kids to have to use these skills in modern life, but every good parent still wants their kids to be safe.
That’s why McGraw’s Martial Arts is very serious about teaching your kids the skills needed for self-protection in any circumstance, from the neighborhood bully to a stranger on the street (and so much more).
But knowing how to defend oneself is only half the battle. Our classes teach your child the respect and self-discipline needed to diffuse a situation without violence whenever possible – as well as the knowledge to know when force is the only way to safety.
TONS OF F-U-N !!
We never forget… kids are kids and they deserve to have some fun!
We can’t guarantee that their normal school teachers are making learning an enjoyable experience, but we DO guarantee that your kid will have a blast in our martial arts classes.
It really is a challenge to design a class that keeps children focused on learning, respect, and discipline while still having fun… but our classes are created just for that. They are so full of ideas, activities, and games that your kids will never get bored or stagnate.
It’s also a fantastic and healthy environment for them (and you) to make friends with other like-minded students. It really is a place where laughter, cheer and happiness abound.

My daughter has grown so much in just the first 6 months going to McGraws Martial Arts. It has been great seeing how much she loves going, looks forward to going, and how much she has gained since the very beginning.
Couldn’t recommend McGraw’s more highly. Professional, lets the kids be kids yet simultaneously instills so many priceless life skills in addition to the karate techniques. It’s been remarkable watching them improve and grow over the last year!
Also appreciate the flexibility and accommodations to keeping the Dojo safe during the pandemic. Kids are able to keep learning online and/or distanced at the Dojo.
My son loves it here! He truly is able to focus and learn. He learns more than just moves and techniques! He learns respect and structure! Most of all they put family first!
