In our McKinney teen classes, we don’t just help teens get fitter, safer, and stronger. We help them build life-changing skills to excel in school and at home.
Focus. Confidence. Respect. Discipline. Goal setting. And more. Every Teen class in McKinney enriches your child’s life.
We also help your child stay safe with real-world self-defense tactics to deal with bullies… and more.
After years of research and hard work, our McKinney Teen classes are designed to get teens more focused and disciplined. The result? Teens from all over McKinney do better in school, and listen better at home.
We help teens grow their ‘listening muscles’ – so they can focus more on their studies, and listen better to you. In fact, martial arts has helped children do this for thousands of years.
Focus games, listening games, attention exercises and more are designed to boost eye contact, listening skills, and attention span.
While self-defense is so important, it’s only the beginning. The discipline your child builds helps them get their homework done. The focus helps them pay more attention. The respect gets them helping more around the house.
Our McKinney program builds a foundation for success. And it lasts for life.
Your starting fitness and skill levels don’t matter – as long as you put in the effort in every class, you’ll see results.
When you step out of your comfort zone in our classes, you allow space for unshakable confidence to grow.
Mindfulness practices don’t go away when you step off the mat. The skills you gain in class flow into everything you do.

For teens who are not natural athletes – team sports can be devastating on self-esteem. These teens often feel like they are ‘letting the team down’ because they can’t keep up as well.
In martial arts, students are in a group environment, but every child is on their own unique journey. They can go at their own pace. Some teens advance faster, others slower. That’s okay.
What’s important is that your child is having fun, challenging themselves, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.
