Welcome to Arrowhead Martial Arts Academy
offering Taekwondo, karate and self defense in A Glendale
At Arrowhead Martial Arts Academy we teach the art of
transforming lives through the venue of martial arts.
Through our “Six Tasks” Character Development Program,
our students are taken on a journey to change their
behavior outside the academy, as well as, inside. Since
our foundation starts with respect, every student is
sent on a mission to record 50 acts of kindness,
courtesy and respect. These acts are recorded in their
respect journal, two a day, until they have completed
50. Since it takes 21 days to make a new habit, upon
completion of this journal, our students have now become
aware of what it means to be respectful. By taking
action, they have learned by doing; which earns them
their first badge--respect. Respect is the first of six
journals to be completed--teamwork, self-discipline,
perseverance, leadership and knowledge are to follow.
Our Lil’ Dragon program accepts students from the ages 4
to 6 years and helps your children become well rounded
by developing your child’s social, emotional, physical
and intellectual growth. Safety skills, life skills and martial arts are
introduced in a non-intimidating atmosphere that will
help prepare them for school. By learning confidence at
this young age, it will help decrease your child’s
chances of being bullied as they enter preschool and
kindergarten.
Our basic
program offers a positive environment where the emphasis
is centered on building up self-confidence while
reinforcing self-defense against
mediocrity, negativity, peer-pressure and low
self-esteem. Bully prevention is further enforced as
students increase their self-esteem and learn to “walk
like black belts”--tall and proud, shoulders back--to
avoid the appearance of a victim.
Academic
excellence is encouraged throughout all our programs and
teaches our students to strive for a life of excellence.
Classes also cover a monthly character development theme
that will help our students become better citizens in
their walk of life.
Our Adult
programs offer all the life benefits as the children’s
with added benefits in fitness, flexibility, muscle
strengthening, cardio and a much needed stress relief.We have many families who are either black belts
or are training to earn their black belts together!!
As
our students progress through the tae kwon do belt
ranks, they are taught how to set a goal, take the
action steps to reach the goal, and then re-set the goal
once they have achieved it. Valuable life lessons like
these are intermingled throughout all the programs and
training at
ArrowheadMartialArtsAcademy.
Our instructors have become master motivators at keeping
classes fun and exciting, while still teaching the art
of tae kwon do. They are able to do this because we
invest in our instructors by providing mandatory
continued education in the form of seminars, leadership
training and weekly hands on instruction. Our
instructors are all certified black belts and are
committed to teaching in a positive environment that
leaves our students smiling, sweating and excited to
return to classes.
This is a clean, fun, family environment that has open
viewing to encourage our parents involvement with their
children’s training. Holding paddles and targets in
class is our way of teaching you how to become a coach
at home with your child as home practice is highly
encouraged. We think this is so important that we hold
bi-monthly free seminars on how to use the equipment to
practice at home. Focus, coordination, speed, and power
are a few of the benefits that will be increased as you
practice your martial art skills at home.
The instructors at Arrowhead Martial Arts Academy are
proud to be role-models in your children’s lives. We
take seriously the task of leading by example as we
touch and influence many lives for the better. Martial
arts is our way of life. We invite you to make it part
of yours.
