Children's And Teen's Martial Arts In Cambridge

Little Dragons

The Little Dragons class here at the AMAC is a great way to introduce your kids to the values that will help them succeed in life as well as teach them the importance of safety and discipline. Over the last 20+ years we have proven that children as young as 3 years old can be taught basic punches, kicks, wrestling skills, and self-defense techniques if they are taught in a fun and age appropriate manner. In order to achieve this we keep our curriculum fun and exciting while simultaneously teaching discipline and listening skills.

At this young age children are more willing to try new things and we feel this is a great time to start building a Child's self-confidence. We think that all parents will agree that a confident child is more apt to do well at home, in school, and in other sports/activities. We here at the AMAC strive to help your children be the best they can! So why wait? The earlier we start the greater the benefits to the student.

Unlike most Schools we are not babysitters. Each potential Little Dragon must complete a private consultation. They must be able to take instructions and have reasonable listening skills before being accepted by the AMAC!

Tiny Tigers

Our Tiny Tigers program picks up right where the Little Dragons ends. This class is for the 7 - 10 year olds and is a more advanced yet still age appropriate program. The tigers start to explore more technical and realistic training methods. More self-defense, advanced kicking, punching, and wrestling techniques and also basic weapons training (foam nunchaku and stick). They are also eligible to join The Competition Team as well as The S.W.A.T team (special winning attitude team that is used to help out with the Little Dragons classes).

Role playing is done to show possible Stranger Danger/Child safety situations. IN addition other safety concerns such as swimming, bike/scooter, fire and dog safety are also discussed.

All students are encouraged to perform well not only at the AMAC, but also at home and in school in order to graduate to new belt levels. We do this by sending a letter of intent to promote to parents and teachers to inform us on how the student is performing at school and at home when the student is eligible for a new belt. If we receive negative feedback from home or school the student will not progress to the next belt level. This ensures that students are working to excel in all areas and not just in karate. We believe that this method of goal setting and problem solving will stay with your child for life!

Teen Programs

Our teens program for(kids ages 11-16 years old)is built on age appropriate martial arts.self defense,grappling ,weapons and kickboxing which lets them learn fun self defense while focusing on discipline and respect!

Our Teen program offers the perfect mix of discipline with the freedom that teen boys and girls enjoy. This class is a little less structured than our Tiny Tigers program but Respect and Discipline are still stressed! We focus only on the practical aspects of self-defense with the Teens. They will work on all areas. Punching, kicking, trapping, grappling, weapons, flexibility, etc. We think of the Teen Program as a stepping stone to the Adult Program. The curriculum of our Teen Program is actually more advanced than some other schools adult programs!
