Defense Skills Every Teen Should Learn Today

 

Schools, unfortunately, can sometimes become targets or experience bullying and other violent situations. Equipping teenagers with the knowledge and confidence to protect themselves is a crucial step towards ensuring their safety and well-being. At Innovative Martial Arts Academy (IMAA), we provide a supportive environment where teens can learn and develop these essential skills.

Why Self-Defense Matters for Teens

Teenagers face unique challenges. Navigating social situations, dealing with peer pressure, and sometimes encountering unsafe environments requires a solid foundation of self-confidence and self-protection. Learning self-defense allows your teen to develop awareness, assertiveness, and the ability to make smart decisions in challenging situations. At IMAA, our martial arts training offers a safe and structured way for teens to learn these valuable life skills.

What We Offer at Innovative Martial Arts Academy

At IMAA, we offer a variety of martial arts disciplines that are perfect for teens looking to learn self-defense. Our training programs include Aikido, Kenpo Karate, and Kali, providing a well-rounded approach to martial arts. Aikido focuses on redirection of force and minimizing harm, Kenpo Karate emphasizes striking and self-defense techniques, and Kali involves weapon-based and hand-to-hand combat. 

We aim to provide our students with the practical skills necessary to defend themselves to the best of their ability. With the right training and environment, that ability can go a long way.

Benefits Beyond Physical Techniques

Learning martial arts at IMAA goes beyond just mastering physical techniques. It’s about building character, discipline, and respect. Our training offers men, women, and children the opportunity to challenge their bodies and minds without the threat of injury and intimidation. This supportive environment helps teens build confidence, improve focus, and develop a positive attitude.

This place is great! Charles and his team have fantastic programs for kids. When we started our 3.5 year old son, I didn’t know what to expect. He quickly adapted to the classes and now loves going. Our 2 year old son loves watching and will start as well as soon as he turns 3. Innovative Martial arts also hosted their birthday parties. The kids had a blast doing different activities throughout the birthday party. Can’t say enough good things about this place, and what they teach!

Innovative Martial Arts Academy (IMAA) is the best place to take martial arts. Charles Falk, the owner, and his staff do a great job teaching martial arts to the students and teaching each student to be confident and disciplined. My son has been with IMAA for eight years - he has earned one black belt and is working on his second.

Not only are the staff amazing, but there is a mix of fun and learning in the curriculum. My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves this school. She has learned respect and many other aspects making her more focused and well behaved. I definitely recommend this school for you or your child.

Great school with wonderful teachers. My daughter has a great time learning and everyone is friendly. There is even an adult class that allowed me to try to see if I liked it and everyone was very patient with me. I am thankful to have my daughter be a part of the Innovative Martial Arts Academy in Wake Forest and know she is benefiting from it in more than one way. It amazes me how fast she is learning and how hard she is trying. They have her trying to develop at her fullest with her mind, body, and spirit. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in martial arts.

Wonderful place for not only skill development but also personal development. Owner and instructors genuinely get to know students and families and care about them. The lessons learned will provide character growth as well as martial art skills. The owner is also a long time student of many different martial arts, he didn't just buy a franchise, and tries very hard to live what he teaches the students. Proud to have been in this dojo family for 6+ years and proud of the friendships we have made there!
