Helps Your Teen do better in School, And at Home
After years of research and hard work, our Sanford, Lake Mary, and Heathrow Teen classes are designed to help teens “Train with the Best. Be the Best.” The result? Teens from Sanford, Lake Mary, and Heathrow thrive academically and develop better listening habits at home.
We help teens strengthen their ‘listening muscles’—so they can focus more on studies and listen more attentively. Martial arts, the “World-Champion-Designed Curriculum,” has helped children do this for thousands of years, enhancing their mental and physical wellbeing.
Focus games, listening games, attention exercises, and more are designed to boost eye contact, listening skills, and attention span, promoting stress relief and improving overall physical and mental health. As we guide them through this journey, they also embrace the leadership and coaching skills needed for a balanced, healthy life. “Champ 4 Life” is more than a mantra; it’s a lifestyle.
Action-Packed Classes Build Discipline & Focus. For Life.
While self-defense is essential, it’s only the beginning. The discipline your child builds helps them stay focused and get their homework done. The focus improves their attention in all areas. The respect encourages them to help more around the house.
Our Sanford, Lake Mary, and Heathrow program lays the foundation for success. And it lasts for life. Train with the Best. Be the Best.

My Child Is Not Athletic, Will They Feel Left Out?
For teens who are not natural athletes – team sports can be devastating on self-esteem. These teens often feel like they are ‘letting the team down’ because they can’t keep up as well.
In martial arts, students are in a group environment, but every child is on their own unique journey. They can go at their own pace. Some teens advance faster, others slower. That’s okay.
What’s important is that your child is having fun, challenging themselves, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.
The coordination, strength, and speed comes with time – even in teens who are not ‘natural athletes’!
