Your Child Will Grow Every Time They Step on the Mat!
Martial arts training gives kids everything they need to grow into adulthood with grace and clarity. Every time your they step on the mat, they’ll learn how to move through life with self-respect and persistence. By treating themselves and others with dignity, they’ll discover the benefits of discipline and how it can help them to achieve their goals.
Build Self-Respect and Self-Worth
Self-respect is the cornerstone of success and kids can sometimes struggle with self-esteem, judging themselves harshly. Especially in a world where children establish their self-worth on what others say or feel about them. Judgements like that have no place at PVMAA.
In the world of martial arts, respect is a cornerstone value. Every child is treated with respect by instructors and fellow students alike. Our students know that they will have good days and better days and that as long as they give it their very best effort, they will succeed.
Best of all, students learn that when they respect themselves, others will respect them too – and they’ll be respected wherever they go.
Learn Good Judgment and How to Use It
In life, the best outcome is often determined by the decision-making process and learning what good judgment is and how to use it.
In martial arts classes, students learn how to make judgments in the moment using the information they have available in conjunction with their training.
At the same time, they learn how to evaluate decisions and the elements of healthy decision-making, internalizing the ability to identify good judgment and use it in their lives.
That is not to say that our students are “mistake free”. We use a special five step recovery method that allows students the ability to learn from their mistakes.
Build a Healthy Body for a Healthy Life
Today’s kids are digital natives and may not have enough opportunities to move their bodies and keep themselves healthy and fit.
We all need our share of physical activity and exercise to lead healthy lives, and teenagers are no exception.
Our martial arts classes provide students of all ages with the activity they need in a fun and social setting that builds overall fitness and tones their bodies.
HOW TO SET (AND ACHIEVE) GOALS
Your child doesn’t need to know exactly what they want from life, but they do need to know how to set realistic goals and work toward them.
One of the biggest benefits of martial arts training for kids is that in class, students pursue goals constantly. Each skill they master – and each belt they earn – represents a goal they’ve achieved.
By making goal-setting a practice, martial arts training prepares students for life, giving them the tools they need to identify, set, and achieve their goals – whatever they are.

My boys started their martial arts journey a few years ago. After researching a few different schools and styles, we landed at Ponte Vedra Martial Arts Academy. We love that it’s family owned and operated and that really resonates throughout the school. It’s so cool to see students who started training years back now teaching, interning and even working at the school. After watching my boys, I decided to start training almost 18 months ago. It’s challenging, rewarding and a lot of fun. I don’t even question why we drive past two other schools to train at PVMAA because it’s a great place run by great people.
