institute for martial arts

It’s NOT a McDojo…

Before you get started, take a moment to consider some of the more valuable aspects of being a martial arts student. Is it learning self defense? Gaining confidence and discipline through structured martial arts classes lead by a qualified, firm yet supportive & encouraging instructor? Perhaps enhancing one’s well-being and engaging in healthy habits?

When searching for an exceptional teacher for your child, you want someone that will consistently go above and beyond for your family, just like you do,

This is the standard and our commitment to the success of our students.

This is what makes the Institute for martial arts a notch (or two) above the rest.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY'S LEADER IN MARTIAL ARTS and FITNESS INSTRUCTION

What is ‘character’? Classically defined, character is: ‘moral excellence and firmness’, or referring to ‘... mental and ethical traits marking and often individualizing a person …’ Some institutions, martial arts or otherwise, can complacently neglect the measure of their students. Some foster aggression, poor sportsmanship and weak character. The Institute for Martial Arts focuses on cultivating today’s youth through confidence, respect for self & others and assertiveness (and not aggression). physical, emotional & mental well being help develop character in our students. - Sensei Smetak

You deserve an instructor whose commitment to your kids rivals your own.
