No, martial arts does not encourage aggression or bullying. In fact, it teaches the opposite.

At America’s Best Defense, we emphasize respect, discipline, and self-control in every class. Kids learn that martial arts is a tool for self-defense and self-improvement—not for harming others.

Our instructors also work closely with parents to reinforce these positive behaviors, ensuring that students use their skills responsibly and treat others with kindness.

Yes, parents are encouraged to watch classes!

We have seating areas available so you can observe your child’s progress and cheer them on. There are some classes where we ask parents to participate (such as stripe testing, rank promotions, and board breaking classes), but we communicate this in advance to allow parents to plan accordingly.

While parents are not required to stay during  most classes, many enjoy seeing their child’s growth in real time. If you choose to step away, rest assured that our instructors create a safe, structured, and positive environment for every student.

Yes, martial arts can significantly improve your child’s focus!

Our classes are structured to help students develop attention to detail, concentration, and the ability to follow instructions. Activities like learning forms, practicing self-defense techniques, and earning belt ranks encourage kids to set goals and stay engaged.

For children with ADHD or other attention challenges, martial arts provides a dynamic and rewarding way to build focus in a supportive environment. Many parents notice improvements in their child’s ability to stay on task both at home and at school.
