What style of martial arts does P3 teach?
Taekwondo (often called Korean karate) for striking and kicking, and Jiu-Jitsu for ground-based self-defense. Students learn both in the same program.
What martial arts classes do you have for each age?
Preschool Martial Arts: Preschool to Kindergarten. Kids Martial Arts: Kindergarten to 5th grade. Teen Martial Arts: 6th to 9th grade. Adult Martial Arts: 10th grade & up.
What age can my child start martial arts at P3?
Preschool Martial Arts starts at age 4 and runs through kindergarten. Kindergartners can also join Kids Martial Arts, and our coaches will help you pick the class that fits.
My preschooler is shy. Will they be okay?
Yes. Classes are built around games, and coaches expect the first class or two to be a warm-up. Most shy kids are kicking and shouting with the group within a few weeks.
Is karate the same as Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, often called Korean karate. It's known for fast, high kicks. At P3, kids learn Taekwondo striking along with Jiu-Jitsu, the ground-based self-defense, in the same program.
Can my child do martial arts in your After School program?
Yes. Martial arts is one of the enrichment activities in our After School program, and kids can also join our regular evening classes.
Is it too late for my teen to start martial arts?
Not at all. Teen Martial Arts is its own class for 6th to 9th grade, and many students start with no experience. They train with other teens, not little kids.
Will my teen learn real self-defense?
Yes. Along with Taekwondo striking, teens learn Jiu-Jitsu, escapes and awareness skills for real situations.
Do I need to be in shape to start adult martial arts?
No. Classes are for every fitness level, and coaches scale each drill to you. Getting in shape is part of what you'll get out of it.
Can I train at the same time as my kids?
Often, yes. Adult classes run in the evenings and on Saturday mornings, so parents can train while or right after their kids do. Check the class times below.
What is Pro-X, and how does my child join?
Pro-X is our invite-only crew for martial artists who want more. Every athlete starts in our Martial Arts program. Instructors watch for focus, flexibility, work ethic and drive, and when a student is ready, their coach personally invites them to join.
What do Pro-X athletes train?
Tricking (butterfly kicks, aerials, 540s and more), weaponry (bo staff, nunchaku and kama), extreme kicks, flips, and choreographed routines. Every skill is progressed step by step on the mats, so it lands safely.
Can my child try Pro-X before being invited?
Pro-X isn't open for sign-ups, but every Pro-X athlete started exactly where your child can: with a free Martial Arts class.
What ages do you accept, and does my child need prior athletic experience?
We welcome kids from preschool all the way up to adults, and zero prior experience is needed. Here is who each program is for: Martial Arts runs from preschool to adult (Preschool, Kids, Teen and Adult classes). Tumbling is preschool to 8th grade. Cheer is kindergarten to 8th grade. After School is kindergarten to 5th grade. Summer Camp and Day Camps are kindergarten to 6th grade. Our beginner classes are designed to build body control, coordination and confidence from day one.
How do I book classes or register my After-School/Camp child for evening programs?
Everything runs smoothly through our P3 Sportsplex App. Once you are enrolled in a program (Martial Arts, Cheer, or Tumbling), simply download the app, tap the red "Class Schedule" tab, and reserve the exact days and times that fit your family’s week. If your child is currently in After-School or Summer Camp and wants to add a formal evening program, just reach out to our admin team between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM and we will send you a quick enrollment link.
