Why Our Teaching Methods Work—and Why Kids Love Them!
At Strickland’s Martial Arts, we don’t just teach martial arts—we shape confident, kind, and capable leaders. Our methods are rooted in time-tested martial arts principles combined with modern teaching strategies that meet kids where they are and help them rise.
This isn’t a trend. It’s a tradition backed by centuries of philosophy and decades of real results. And at Strickland’s, we’ve created something truly special: a place where kids and teens build strength, character, and self-worth in a positive, high-energy environment.
It’s Great for Kids—Really Great
Parents tell us all the time: “My child needed this.”
Why? Because kids today need more than just physical activity—they need a place to belong. At Strickland’s Martial Arts, they’ll get that and more.
We teach discipline, focus, and confidence.
We help kids build strength, flexibility, and coordination.
And most of all, we give them tools to listen, learn, and achieve—skills that carry over into school, home, and beyond.
Master the Art—with Heart
Our instructors aren’t just black belts—they’re passionate, high-energy mentors who care deeply about your child’s success. Whether it’s their first day or they’re preparing for black belt promotion, your child will be guided by a team that brings:
Consistent encouragement
Clear expectations
Positive reinforcement
And yes—plenty of fun along the way!
Our team of instructors are trained to connect with every student, build trust, and challenge them to rise to their best—all while creating a class experience that’s structured, exciting, and full of growth.
It’s Not All Serious (And That’s a Good Thing!)
Yes, we focus on discipline and leadership. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun!
At Strickland’s Martial Arts we regularly host events like:
Parents Night Out / Pizza parties
Rank Advancement Camps
Tournaments
The goal? To help kids associate achievement with enjoyment. When they feel successful and supported, their confidence skyrockets—and that’s when the real transformation happens.
Why Parents Keep Coming Back
Parents constantly tell us the same thing: This is more than a martial arts school. It’s a second home for their kids. A place where they grow, laugh, make friends, and become better people.
If you’re ready to give your child a head start in life—with the tools, mindset, and support they need to thrive—we’re ready to welcome you.
