Kenpo Kids Program

Welcome to the exciting world of martial arts!

From our pre-school programs to our martial arts fitness programs, our instructors are dedicated to helping you and/or your family achieve your individual goals.

Why Is Martial Arts so Popular?
Martial Arts are so popular because no other activity can provide the same results as martial arts for each individual participant. Whether your goals are self-confidence, self- defense, personal development, fitness, flexibility or to earn a black belt, our school will take you there.

Martial Arts is Great for Children
Parents today are recognizing that the public school system is not enough. Millions of parents are bringing martial arts, as we teach them here, into their children’s lives to supplement their education.

Carelton University, in a study reported in Psychology Today (January 1985), found that children in martial arts have a lower level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of self-esteem; higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be radical.

“Thank you Mr. Noviello, I have had some great compliments on my 3 children any where from improved self esteem to more participation to self disciplined! You improved their lives and made it fun… Thank you again!” – Tammy Ciampa

Parents report these five important benefits their children in our school experience:

1. Our reward system improves children’s self esteem.
Martial arts are not like team sports because the emphasis is on developing the individual’s self-esteem not the team’s winning record. The belt system is the key. When kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves

2. Our program teaches discipline
One of the things parents appreciate most about our classes is the improvement in their child’s self-discipline. We have a wonderful staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.

3. Our activities channel children’s aggression
Many doctors actually prescribed our school for treatment because of a positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.

4. Our confidence classes enhance children’s self-esteem
We believe confidence is one of the most important things we can give kids. that’s why every class we teach had confidence-building drills included.

5. Our program teaches children essential self defense skills
Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home and try them on their sister, or neighbor.

Our Programs
We have a number of different programs to offer even the busiest students. From our martial arts for children and pre-school classes to our martial arts fitness, and black belt programs we have a program for everyone.

“I want to thank you for working so well with Michael. I really see his improvements. The class has been great for him.” – Pam Arsenault

Our Instructors
Rather than tell you about our championships and black belt rankings, we prefer to focus on our students. Certainly, we’re proud of our instructor’s accomplishments. But, we’re more proud of the achievements of our students. Our instructors understand that the student’s individual progress is the most important focus of their attention. That’s why our instructors continue to be students themselves. They take classes, attend seminars and continually work to improve their ability to help our students reach their goals.

Our Commitment to You
Our instructors participate in the American Council on Martial Arts (ACMA) instructor education and certification program. This program helps our instructors stay up-to-date on the most important teaching issues such as teaching by age groups, safety in the classroom and student motivation.
