Total Defense
In a real life self-defense situation, there are no rules, no time limits, and no referees. Unlike Tae Kwon Do, we offer a curriculum that has been rigidly tested and proven to effectively address the realities of a real fight. Rather than distract and astound our students with spectacular techniques that have little practical value, the LINXX curriculum concentrates on techniques that keep children safe in the face of danger. Our Total Defense program, which incorporates self-defense techniques from both Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu, is designed for children ages 7-13.
S.T.A.R. CHARACTER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Martial arts is far more than an extracurricular activity. It is a unique training program that empowers children with techniques and strategies for lifelong success. To that end, the LINXX Academy features the S.T.A.R. Character Education Program. S.T.A.R. stands for Stop, Think, Act, and Review, or its alternative definition, Success Through Accepting Responsibility. The S.T.A.R. program provides our instructors with an effective, ongoing, and systematic method of teaching children the common values upon which the martial arts were founded: honesty, respect, responsibility, integrity, courage, tolerance, justice, self-confidence, and politeness.
S.T.A.R. IS DESIGNED TO TEACH CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS TO:
- Accept the consequences of their actions.
- Use the S.T.A.R. decision-making model to solve problems and resolve conflicts.
- Develop and improve self-confidence, self-esteem, and positive attitudes.
- Set and achieve realistic goals.
- Accept that attendance, punctuality, and reliability are part of being personally responsible.
TRIAL PROGRAM
If the Total Defense Program seems right for you, we welcome you to participate in our trial program. The trial program allows children to try a few classes before enrolling. To ensure a smooth and comfortable transition into the group class, the first lesson will be a private one-on-one class with one of our certified instructors where your child will be introduced to the basic techniques used in class. At that point, they’ll be ready to participate in a beginner group class. You’ll be amazed how much they learn in only a few classes!
