WE BELIEVE

Every child deserves to feel strong, secure, and confident

In school, at home, and
everywhere in between.

OUR APPROACH

We make fitness and focus fun for K-12 grade students

With afterschool student care that meets kids where they are—at school, on the mat, and at their level.

At home, kids are left to their own devices— literally!

But Impact Dojo’s afterschool student care program gets students up and moving with weekly martial arts training that sharpens and strengthens as they progress through their belts.

Impact Dojo’s karate, kickboxing, and jiu jitsu curriculum:

  • Encourages kids to get active at their own pace, with training and exercises adapted to their skill level.

  • Gives young minds a (screen-free!) break from classroom work.

  • Teaches discipline, awareness, and respect.

  • Helps shy students build confidence and bold students learn balance.

  • Builds confidence, skills, and friendships

Martial arts is about more than karate-chopping planks and youth kickboxing! It’s an activity that requires your full mind and body— perfect for helping active kids narrow their attention, focus their energy, and build critical life skills.

The mental, ‌physical, and emotional impact of martial arts is proven and palpable.

That’s why we do what we do here at Impact Dojo.

Kids are surrounded by distractions. They’re constantly stimulated by screens and overwhelmed by information. It’s no wonder our kids experience increasingly complex emotions— and struggle to regulate, understand, and express them!

Martial arts cuts through the noise.

As a second-degree black belt in karate with over 20 years of experience instructing kids and adults, I’ve seen firsthand how martial arts transforms your mind and body. I’ve seen hyper-active children learn to focus their energy, quiet kids become confident, and thousands of kids have a blast learning new stances and moves.

Impact Dojo teachers are the best of the best. They’re skilled, patient, and have a heart for kids. And they can’t wait to help every student succeed.

WE START WITH SCHOOLS TO GO BEYOND THE CLASSROOM.
