After School Program Overview
This unique program offers children grades K thru 6 an exciting alternative to standard after school options. The program integrates traditional martial arts training with productive after school activities.
Each session begins with us providing transportation (you may have seen our bus) from your child’s school to our facility. Days are filled with indoor sports, arts & crafts, constructive games, character building exercises, and professional martial arts instruction.
After a fun and challenging Taekwondo class we provide structured “down time” for individual work and quiet activities. The day winds down with pick up hours from 5:15 pm – 6:15pm. As an added convenience the program offers full day activities on teacher work days and school half days at no extra charge.
Taekwondo Classes
The most important aspect of the AMP Program is the traditional martial arts instruction that each student receives. Career black belt instructors teach the Taekwondo based classes. Our classes focus on clearly defined curriculum that is arranged so each student can set goals, train to achieve them, and experience consistent progress. Students can expect improvements in coordination, overall physical fitness, concentration skills, and mental discipline. The martial arts instruction also offers valuable self-defense skills and instills self-confidence and personal pride.
Professional Staff
Our dedicated professional staff is focused on providing an exciting and safe environment for all of our AMP students. We pride ourselves on providing a fun atmosphere that is focused on personal growth for each student. Our AMP Program is well staffed with career martial arts instructors, senior staff members, program managers, and assistants. We strive to help each student grow as a martial artist and as a young person.
