Every summer, moms everywhere ask the same question: How do I keep my child from falling behind while still letting them enjoy their break?
Here’s the truth—we get it.
At American Family Martial Arts, we’re parents, too, and we know the struggle is real. The summer slide (aka the academic and cognitive dip that happens when school’s out) affects kids of all ages. Without structure and mental stimulation, children lose momentum—and sometimes even their confidence.
But what if summer didn’t have to mean stepping back?
What if your child could keep their brain active, stay emotionally balanced, and grow in confidence while having a blast?
Welcome to a Summer of Smarter, Stronger, Happier Kids
At American Family Martial Arts, we’ve built our children’s programs around one goal: to activate your child’s full potential.
How? Through science, movement, and fun.
When kids step into one of our classes, they’re not just kicking and punching. They’re unlocking a powerful brain boost we call the D.O.S.E. effect—a natural release of:
Dopamine (for motivation and reward)
Oxytocin (for connection and trust)
Serotonin (for emotional balance)
Endorphins (for happiness and energy)
This feel-good cocktail is triggered by our game-based learning, connection-driven coaching, and encouragement. That means every time your child leaves class, they’re not just tired from a good workout—they’re happy, focused, and ready to take on the world.
Boost Brainpower Through Movement
Did you know that martial arts can strengthen your child’s executive function?
That’s the brain’s control center for memory, focus, and emotional regulation- the skills kids need to thrive in school and life.
Summer often disrupts these patterns. But not here.
At American Family Martial Arts, we use tools like neurobics (brain warmups), movement-based memory games, and multi-step challenges to keep those critical cognitive skills sharp.
We’re not just a martial arts school—we’re child development specialists who bake learning into every punch, kick, and jump. Each class is designed to be engaging, low-pressure, and full of praise, so your child starts to crave structure instead of resisting it.
It’s Learning That Feels Like Play
Let’s be honest: most kids aren’t begging to go to summer tutoring.
But they do love high-energy games, new challenges, and being cheered on by friends and mentors.
That’s exactly what they’ll find at American Family Martial Arts.
From our summer camps to our evening classes, your child will:
✔️ Stay active and engaged
✔️ Strengthen focus, memory, and self-control
✔️ Build real confidence and resilience
✔️ Experience a joyful, empowering community
This summer, give your child the gift of growth, without the stress.
Let them move, laugh, learn, and thrive in a place built just for them.
