At Shanks Martial Arts, we seek to make you into a stronger, more confident person. Our training system emphasizes physical, mental and spiritual growth through concentrated, disciplined martial arts training. Our goal is to help you meet your goals by giving you the tools and the training to carry yourself with poise and self-assurance.
Our school is built on the principle of respect: for both yourself and for others. We teach Japanese martial arts time-honored methods and traditions.
Martial arts training can benefit both adults and children. As an adult, training in the martial arts will give you the poise and confidence to succeed in life. Whether on the battlefield or in the boardroom, it is a proven fact that people respect and follow those who carry themselves with confidence.
For children, martial arts training teaches discipline, respect, attention to detail, self-confidence and provides children with a strong sense of right and wrong. Children who study martial arts do better in school and in life. Giving your child a strong sense of self-confidence and self-respect early in their formative years will benefit them throughout their life, providing them with the skills to tackle adversity and succeed where others give up. Children in the martial arts are not simply learning to fight - they are learning to stand up for themselves and for what is right. One of the creeds that your child will learn early in their training is that “It’s not who is right, but what is right.” We stand by that philosophy. Children who are empowered with a strong sense of right and wrong will grown into mature, responsible adults. Children who have taken our courses tend to become leaders among their peers throughout adolescence, and generally academically perform above average. We want every child to be a success story. |
