Arts International martial arts classes are one hour in length and are Faith based in structured for the whole family, ages 3 to 99 years.
​
Arts International incorporates a safe and modern approach to teaching traditional martial arts. We stress non-violent conflict resolution, how to avoid dangerous situations, and practical self-defense techniques for getting away from a range of situations.
​
A lot of parents think that our martial arts classes are for kids only, without realizing that at Arts International, we teach the same technical curriculum for both children and adults.
​​
Whether you are 8, 38 or 68 years old… our family martial arts classes are a terrific way for you and your children to learn together in a safe environment. You will train, work hard, and learn on your own while your family practices, too.
