Kids Programs

Dallas-Fort Worth Jeet Kune Do Academy Kids Martial Arts Programs Should be Required for ALL Children!

Today's kids seem perfectly content to lounge on the couch watching television and playing games. What if your child could learn to be a hero in real life? Martial arts training in Hurst at Dallas/Fort Worth Jeet Kune Do Academy will help your child build physical fitness, learn self-respect, develop self-esteem, and grow in character—all while learning the valuable life-skill of self-defense. Your child will grow physically, emotionally and mentally with every lesson, making your kid’s martial arts program one of the best things you will ever do for your child.

In Hurst, Dallas-Fort Worth Jeet Kune Do Academy is where learning some of the most important Life Skills are Fun!

Martial arts classes are so much fun, your child will never realize just how much they are growing and developing.  Bullying has become an epidemic in this country.  With Kids JKD lessons in DFWJKD Academy, your child will never have to worry about being bullied again.  Martial arts lessons give children confidence that radiates from within, and bullies will leave to go find easier prey.  While self-defense skills are a major part of every martial arts class, the goal at DFWJKD Academy is to provide kids with the confidence and self-respect to never have to use their physical skills except in case of an emergency.

Teaching Method

We believe that children need skills to help them build self-confidence, interact with their parents better, and grow to become model citizens.

Emphasis in this program is placed on attribute development, instilling both self-confidence and improving your child's self-esteem.  The techniques we employ foster both self-perfection as well as self-preservation drills.

As a student in our program, he/she will be exposed to important life skills such as: respect, honesty, integrity, anti-bullying, countering peer pressure, and becoming a model citizen. The DFWJKD Academy Kids JKD Program places high consideration for a student’s understanding of situational awareness, verbal de-escalation, and the ability to “fight without fighting” (one of Bruce Lee’s philosophical ideas).  Students will be trained in techniques to defend against stand-up, ground, and weapon attacks.  Our teaching method will always be age appropriate.
