VALLEY KMAC

Korean Martial Arts Center

Classes

Our classes are taught by a team of dedicated, qualified and passionate instructors. Here at Valley KMAC, we strive to provide the best martial arts education, all while having fun and growing together.



Little Dragons

Ages 5 to 7

Our Little Dragons class is a high-energy, fun-filled introduction to martial arts for young children. Kids learn practical self-defense while building confidence, focus, and respect.

They play skill-based games, practice drills, and work together on challenges that teach listening, cooperation, and perseverance—while having a great time and burning energy.

This program builds the foundation for success in our Junior class and beyond, helping kids grow physically and mentally through martial arts.

Juniors

Ages 8 to 13

An exciting, high-energy introduction to martial arts for kids! Students learn practical skills in a fun and positive environment, including:

  • Self-defense: evasion, de-escalation, striking, joint locks, and hip throws
  • Traditional Korean forms (patterns)
  • Safe, age-appropriate weapons training: short stick, staff, and (at advanced levels) sword
  • Agility and coordination through acrobatics
  • How to fall safely to prevent injury

Beyond the physical, students build confidence, focus, and self-discipline. They learn to set goals, respect themselves and others, and work as part of a team.

Many go on to compete in local and international tournaments, and we’ve proudly coached students to championship titles around the world.

For parents, this program offers more than just a class—it’s a place where kids grow into capable, respectful, and resilient young people.

Adults & Teens

Ages 14+

For new and experienced students alike. Our Adult & Teen class offers traditional Korean martial arts with a strong focus on practical self-defense. Classes are focused but welcoming, with a supportive group atmosphere that makes it easy to stay motivated and keep growing—whether you're just starting or almost ready for your black belt.

Students will learn:

  • Self-defense techniques with real-world application
  • Striking and kicking drills that build fitness and control
  • Korean forms—like moving meditation that develops balance, strength, and focus
  • Weapons training, starting with the staff (a student favorite) and advancing to sword, fan, butterfly knives, spear, and more
  • Safe, progressive sparring—from no-contact sparring to optional advanced sparring formats

Respect is the foundation of our training. We’ve built a family environment where everyone is included, supported, and challenged to become the best version of themselves—on and off the mats.
