Improved fitness strength and flexibility, improved concentration and focus improved discipline, improved confidence and self-esteem, the opportunity to compete in regional, national and international events

At Impact we strive to help develop a students ability to "delay gratification", focusing on how the hard work he or she puts in will benefit in the future. You as the caregiver can assist by echoing this sentiment. It also is normal for a child to feel much better after coming to class even when he or she didn't feel up to it before hand so reminding them of that too can also be helpful.

Your child’s safety is our main concern. There is always a risk of injury when practicing martial arts but we take measures to reduce this as much as possible. Our space has a matted floor to reduce the risk of injury should a student fall. When sparring we use WT Approved padded safety gear, abide by strict safety rules and regulation for instructors and students, — all for the safety of our students.​

Every child has what it takes to be good at martial arts, because in martial arts they are not competing or comparing themselves with anyone apart from who they were yesterday. Martial arts are more than just punching and kicking. Character development training is just as important as punching and kicking. Once we develop a child’s confidence, they can achieve anything they set their mind to.​

Martial arts is great exercise for kids. Martial arts training, combined with a sensible diet, can transform a child’s physical and overall health. Kids that feel good about themselves are children that develop strong confidence and self esteem — which they can carry over in all aspects of life in the future.​

No way! As a matter of fact, we are careful to teach our students to use common sense before self defense. Kids are taught to make smart decisions when it comes to self defense from the first day of class. They will know when it is the right time to use what they have been taught.​ We also find that having the outlet to express emotions such anger and frustration in a controlled way through martial arts reduces the need to do so outside of the Do-Jang.

Gradings - enable students to progress through the ranks are held every 3-4 months. Competitions - these are held throughout the year and range from inter-club level all the way through to international level both in forms (non-contact) and sparring.
