The World In Your Backyard
Martial Arts from Around the World!
Ever wonder how to become a Ninja? Have your kids ever jumped around the living room acting like a Shaolin Warrior Monk? If your children have, you may want to save your furniture and have them learn the real thing in a safe, secure environment! Come travel around the world as we explore several countries’ unique cultural arts, physical sport, food, history, and language in our rich learning environment. Every week we explore a different country with its rich traditions, history and martial art! Students will train with a Master from each discipline, experience the food from the country, learn about cultural history, while having a blast learning the arts that they would otherwise only sample on their video games!

(2020 COUNTRIES TBD, SEE BELOW FOR PAST SCHEDULE AND DATES.)
- Japan – Ninja Camp (June 17/21)
- The stealthy Ninja has captivated the imagination of kids around the world for decades! Kids learn from a true Ninjutsu master. Learn the rolls, jumps and history of the Ninja! You might even learn to throw the deadly shuriken! (throwing star – but a little less deadly rubber version)
- Brazil – Capoeira (June 24/28)
- Capoeira is a martial art that incorporates fluid, gymnastic moves like handstands, cartwheels and jumping spinning kicks! The kids learn the “roda” (the circle) where the practitioners “play” the game of capoeira. The children also learn to sing and play the traditional instruments that accompany the game!
- Philippines – Pakamut/Escrima (July 8/12)
- Escrima is an extremely popular form of weapons training. The kids learn to use two sticks while synchronizing and timing their movements. This is a wonderful cognitive movement therapy in tandem with being a terrific art indigenous to the Philippines. Escrima in the Philippines is a source of great cultural pride!
- China – Shaolin Kung Fu (July 15/19)
- What serious Saturday Kung Fu Cinema fan has not dreamed of being a Shaolin Warrior Monk! This system founded around the year 500CE is the source of all modern kung fu cinema. Pick a Jet Li or Jackie Chan movie and you’ll see this fabled art in action
- Thailand – Muay Thai (July 22/26)
- The fabled art of Thailand is practiced in every MMA gym in the world! This is the world’s most famous kickboxing style. Kid’s learn to use training tools like “Thai pads” with their partners to move like real ring fighters! Kid’s will also learn the “Ram Muay Wai Kru” the traditional pre-fight ceremonial dance paying homage to their lineage of teachers.
- Brazil II – Brazilian Jiujitsu (July 29/Aug 2)
- Yes, another week of Brazil because the country developed two of the most famous martial arts in the world! Brazilian Jiujitsu is the other half of the MMA equation. Do your kids like to wrestle? Then teach them how to do it the right way. Kid’s learn the Brazilian Jiujitsu training methods from the lineage of the world famous Machado Brothers.
