Age Range: 5 - 12 | Experience Requirement: None
Our Junior Program is designed to meet the high energy and rapidly developing social skills of grade-schoolers. In this age group, martial arts transitions from basic movement to skill-building and character development. We provide a safe, structured environment where children can channel their energy into productive techniques, helping them navigate the challenges of school and social life with confidence.
Does your child face any of these challenges?

What an experience! As a parent you only want the best for your child. The best decision was enrolling him into the New Rochelle Jungle Gym. Coach Patrick and his staff are very patient, kind and knowledgeable with all the students and parents. As parents we HIGHLY recommend them, as our son has gained self confidence and awareness. We also use focus sit at home.
Physical Literacy & Athleticism
At ages 5–12, children are in a "prime window" for developing motor skills. Our classes focus on core strength, agility, and flexibility through safe, basic martial arts drills that build a healthy foundation for any sport.
Confidence Beyond the Mats
We use a structured "Stripe and Belt" system to teach children the value of goal-setting. By earning their way through the ranks, they learn that hard work leads to tangible success—a mindset that carries over into their academics.
Respect & Social Intelligence
Martial arts is rooted in tradition. Students learn to show respect to their instructors and peers, helping them develop the emotional maturity to handle peer pressure and resolve conflicts with maturity and self-assurance.
Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.
Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.
Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.
Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.
No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
