Summer is here and we want to help your children keep up with their martial arts training!

We know that summer days are packed with swimming, playing, and outdoor fun. Often, kids are simply too exhausted by the evening to attend their regular classes. To help you maintain your routine, we are adding morning classes from mid-June to mid-July.

Summer Morning Schedule
These classes will run from Tuesday, June 16 through Thursday, July 16:
Tuesdays & Thursdays at 10:00 AM: Mini / Little Dragons
Tuesdays & Thursdays at 11:00 AM: Youth Beginners & Advanced

Important Details
In Lieu of Evening Classes: These morning sessions are not extra weekly classes. If you choose to attend the morning sessions, they will replace your child's regular evening classes during this one-month period.

Switching Back: After July 16, everyone will automatically switch back to their regular evening schedule.

Limited Space: Class sizes are limited to ensure quality instruction.

How to Register
If you would like your child to attend the morning sessions from June 16 to July 16, please comment below or speak with us at the front desk as soon as possible to reserve your spot.

Tell us about a friend your kid's made on the mat.

For one of our families this month, it's the boy who lights up when he sees his training partner walk in. They go to different schools — but the mat brought them together.

Those friendships matter more than you think.

The kids don't always notice how much they've changed.

The parents do.

We just get to watch it happen up close. Lucky us.

After dinner he asked to come in early so he could practise his take downs for his next tournament 🔥

A year ago he wasn't interested in competing.

Same boy. More focus. More fight in him. More determination.

We don't just put this on a poster.

Every class trains the muscle behind it — choosing the harder thing, one rep at a time.

That's how you walk out of here a different version of yourself than the one who walked in.

Three things you can do this week to help your child focus better at home.

One. Eye contact when you're giving instructions. Wait until they look at you before you speak.

Two. One task at a time. No "go brush your teeth and feed the dog and grab your shoes." Pick one. Finish. Then the next.

Three. Praise the effort, not the outcome. "You stayed with it" lands harder than "good job."

We use all three at MBD Martial Arts Academy. They work.
