Our
Programs & Classes
Students and enthusiasts of Tang Soo Do have many reasons for their
interest in this and other martial art styles. Some are drawn to the
physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to
add discipline and self control to their lives. While still others are
concerned about safety and self-defense.
Whether you
are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being,
Middleburg Martial Arts offers a number of programs that will fit your
developmental needs and your busy schedule as well.
Family Class
This class is for adults, as well as children, and is offered at 6:15
PM on Tues. and Thurs, as well as Sat. AM.. This is a great time for
families to work out and have fun together, while learning how to
defend themselves. This class is open to all students regardless if you
have other family members training with us. This class offers a great
work out and will help you to get in shape and feel good. |
Little Dragons/Youth Classes
For 5 - 7 year olds. This class is an action packed class which teaches
the basics of Tang Soo Do. Children have fun while working on
discipline and self-control. The children are taught the value of using
our heads and hearts rather than our fists. They are schooled in
stranger safety, and how to avoid conflicts with other children. They
are taught the seven tenets of Tang Soo Do - 1. integrity 2.
concentration 3. perseverance 4. respect and obedience 5. self-control
6. humility and 7. indomitable spirit. Our Little Dragons-AMP is for
our After School Martial Program students whom we transport to the
studio. See below for more information on this program. Our Dragons
class is for all other new students white and orange belts. |
Intermediate Youth
Our Intermediate Youth class is for children, green belts and brown
belts. This is a fast-moving class which covers intermediate
and some advanced techniques. At this level the children have good
discipline and self-control so we spend much of our time working on
honing their techniques and self-defense moves. This class is
offered Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. |
Advanced
Youth
Our Advanced Youth class is for children, red belts and above. The
students train in advanced forms and techniques, with a focus on
developing black belt level skills and precision. This class
is offered Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. and Friday at 5:00 p.m. |
Tiny Tigers
This exciting class is for children ages 3 - 4 years old.It is action
packed and fun. The goal is to teach the children Tang Soo Do while
having fun. We work on positive reinforcement to help build
self-esteem. We play games which assist us in our coordination and
balance. Children also work on following directions, lining up and
overall self-discipline. |
Adult Class
This class is for adults and selected senior ranking teens. It is a
fast moving class and is a great way to stay in shape and relieve
stress. Students have found that they simply feel better about
themselves after attending class regularly for a period of time.
Typically, our students say that they have increased energy, look
better, and are more confident. This class covers all areas of Tang Soo
Do including forms, self defense moves, sparring and weapons.
This class is offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. |
Ki Gong
Ki Gong is an ancient Korean art which combines breathing, light
exercises and meditation. This helps us feel more relaxed and to
relieve stress, while at the same time energizing us. It is a fun, easy
class for adults of all ages. If you find yourself constantly tired or
stressed, this is the class for you. This class is great for seniors or
people who have health problems since it is not aerobic and relatively
easy to do. Yet, the benefits are unbelievable! The benefits are
similar to those of Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation. |
Tumbling
Classes will now be at
9:15-10:15am.
We do have several spaces available for anyone who is interested in
taking this class. Tumbling can be an invaluable companion to
your
child's karate experience by helping them not only with rolls and falls
but also with balance, strength and coordination.
Mrs. Dot Blanchett teaches the tumbling classes and she has coached
competitive and recreational gymnastics since 1991 as well as
Children's Village Gymnastics and All American Gymnastics.
She has
also taught a recreational program at Step-n-Motion Dance Studio,
similar to the one she will be teaching at Middleburg Martial
Arts.
She resides in Middleburg and has 4 children, 3 of whom are enrolled in
our karate program. She is very excited to be involved in a
recreational program again and looks forward to getting to know all of
the children |
After School Martial Arts Program
This is a great alternative to daycare! We will pick up your child from
school and bring them to the studio each day. They will then get a
karate lesson and work on character building skills. Homework time is
provided as well as a daily snack. We offer this program until 6:30
each day for the same price as most daycares!
Karate is a great way for children to learn discipline and
self-control, while at the same time building their self-esteem,
physical condition, flexibility, and coordination. The training that we
offer goes well beyond the physical aspect and tends to have an overall
positive impact on the child. Many of our parents have found a direct
correlation between karate training and an improvement in attitude,
grades, and physical ability. The children learn how to protect
themselves, while at the same time how to control their behavior and
use words rather than physical force. |
Summer
Camp
Middleburg Martial Arts offers an awesome summer Karate Camp. We have
karate classes as well as other sports and crafts. This is an excellent
alternative to daycare. We take the children swimming, boating, and to
parks. We have a daily reading time and have a summer reading program.
Safety issues are taught such as stranger danger, 911,and keeping
ourselves safe. We also work on our tenets such as self-control,
respect, obedience, and integrity. Additionally we make cool crafts and
just have FUN! |
