Our
Martial Arts Success System
teaches kids to set goals and how to get
goals. Our step-by-step curriculum will guide your
child on an exciting journey to becoming an JR EDGE
Champion living a Black Belt Lifestyle. Our
classrooms are positive, well discipline and safe.
The
children training at The EDGE Martial Arts will
learn everything that Martial Arts has to offer in a
safe and controlled manner. This program is the
perfect system for children of any age. It
emphasizes practical application of real life
techniques while fostering respect and integrity
among the students. Both aspects of the program, the
physical skill sets and the life skills ,must be
present to give credence to the other. The synergy
of combining these two creates a truly powerful
,life changing opportunity.
Our life skills program will focus on the
traditional values we all want our children to learn
,and all of it comes while learning how to "kick,
block, and punch." Look at it this way. Your child's
first and biggest challenge may not come from
"fighting for his rights on the street," or "beating
up the neighborhood bully." More often it comes,
instead, from battling overcoming challenges
presented to him. The question is, how do you
encourage your child to focus on the positive
aspects of his personality instead of zeroing in on
his insecurities? You can see that your child is
struggling; how do you support him? By giving them
THE EDGE in life right now!
"We
offer a positive environment with a goal oriented
individually paced program."
Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy
and spirit. Stand with pride as they becomes
unstoppable in their quest for...
•
Greater academic achievement.
•
Unshakable self respect.
•
Increased strength and fitness, in both body and
mind.
•
Fearless self-confidence.
•
Awesome self-control.
Unbeatable self-esteem

The Edge
is proud to be Lynchburg’s leaders in the area of
modern mixed martial arts. Our children’s program
was the first to offer a realistic modern training
approach to adults and children alike in the area.
Since the time of it’s inception the instructors
have continued to make modifications and
improvements in the children’s program to ensure
it was the leading edge of functionality. We want
our children to have the very best training
possible!
The Edge Jr.s Martial Arts Training
So far we have discussed how we combine the two
pillars that make up our training program, but what
exactly does their martial arts training involve.
We utilize a combination of Western Boxing, knees,
elbows, and kicks that has proven itself to be the
most proficient and effective of the striking
martial arts.
Training in Muay Thai focuses on cardiovascular
fitness, pad work, bag work, shadow boxing, clinch
work, and sparring. Due to the simplicity and
straightforwardness of Muay Thai techniques, an
individual is able to strike at their assailant with
both speed and power, while not compromising their
defenses.
In addition to these traditional Muay Thai
techniques, children in the beginners program will
also learn how to defend themselves with many of the
standing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques. This
includes escapes from being grabbed, choked, held
against your will, and many other realistic
situations.
Children will also learn how these essential martial
arts skills are combined laying the ground work for
more advanced training that will ensure their
success no matter where they find themselves in a
self defense situation, Standing, clinching or on
the ground.
Children will also learn how to avoid confrontation
all together by learning the key signals of
dangerous situations and dangerous people. The
ultimate goal of the training is to be prepared for
any situation, but to also know that the best
alternative is to avoid these situations all
together.
The children training at The EDGE Martial Arts
will learn everything that Martial arts has to
offer in a safe and controlled manner. This program
is the perfect system for children of any age. It
emphasizes practical application of real life
techniques while fostering respect and integrity
among the students.
THE EDGE LIFE SKILLS TRAINING
Martial Arts lessons at THE EDGE Martial Arts and
Fitness will benefit your child because we work hand
in hand with him or her providing improved
self-discipline, confidence and goal setting skills.
Students at THE EDGE learn that through dedication
and work all worth-while goals are possible.
Parents directly attribute their children's improved
grades and attitude to the self-direction and
motivation our program provides.
In other words, when your child uses the
discipline of martial arts to conquer his fears,
he has power to transfer that discipline to all
other areas of his life. I know of no other sport
that does this better than the martial arts .
The question is, how do you encourage your child to
focus on the positive aspects of his personality
instead of zeroing in on his insecurities? You can
see that your child is struggling; how do you
support him?
Well, the good news is, there is a proven
solution. A program that has already worked
for thousands of children. A series of lessons your
child can learn easier than you think.
It’ s called “THE EDGE" Let me tell you how it
works:
To repeat, Martial Arts are less about your child
learning to fight others, and more about learning
self-mastery. Overcoming his innermost fears, thus
unleashing within himself a powerful, unstoppable
force.
A force that gives him the strength to kick down the
doors of his own self doubts, A force that opens
your child to the exalting power of values.
In other words, when your child uses the
discipline of martial arts to conquer his fears,
he has power to transfer that discipline to all
other areas of his life.
Now, you may be asking, how does all this "values"
stuff work? And why does martial arts manage to do a
better job teaching it?
Again, more than any other sport, martial arts gives
your child the chance to explore there innate
powers. Your child will marvel (as you will) as they
increases in strength, flexibility, endurance,
balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start.
In fact, their physical skills act as a foundation
for something much more important: the
development of their value skills, mental and
spiritual. And not cut off from her physical
skills, but intimately connected - even bonded to
them.
Like this:
Courage
Your child finds the courage to move outside of his
comfort zone. They will themselves to take on more
difficult martial arts moves and skills. They become
no longer afraid of being afraid.
As he does so, he learns that whatever he sows, so
he reaps. He learns to take responsibility for his
actions. He suddenly sees his life as a constant,
never-ending journey of life-giving improvement.
In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a
victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own
destiny.
Staying Power
At THE EDGE Martial Arts and fitness we will help
your child set positive goals. It is important for
each child to learn to set short term, intermediate
and long term goals. Here every child's goal is the
Black Belt Lifestyle . A Black Belt is a symbol of
excellence in Martial Arts. It is an important tool
for instructors and parents to use in developing
desire, tenacity and teaching the importance of
following through in any activity we pursue.
As your child's training progresses, your child
finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can
walk farther, run longer, practice skills until she
gets them right.
In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks
things out. With the help of her teachers, she
strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if
she fails she perseveres. She won't let her self
doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.
"Where performance is measured, performance
improves." Yet, your child has to first accept where
he stands now. That means measuring current
strengths. Above all, he learns that to succeed, he
can't fool anyone, especially himself.
This results in a keener focus. He learns to make
eye contact with his teacher (and not just in
martial arts.) He pays greater attention to what
each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he
stands.
"... equal emphasis on self-defense skills and
strategies, on the one hand, and character-building,
on the other hand."
These are just three of the powerful, energizing
values your child will get from the "Kids with Kick"
program. In short, you can look forward to your
child developing:
•
Powerful Self-Control:
She'll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure.
She'll have deeper respect for rules.
•
Improved Focus:
She'll learn what's needed, along with the skill to
"zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet
time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in
her way.
•
Fearless Self-Confidence:
Watch as your child finds the courage to open any
door life has to offer.
We encourage parents to become involved
with the education and motivation we provide to the
future champions. Your child will learn principals
and values that will last a lifetime:
• Indomitable Spirit
• Respect / Sportsmanship
• Self Defense
• Leadership Skills
• Confidence/Self-esteem
• Athletic Fitness Development
Our
students receive a proven training program that
includes the Best Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts,
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, Street Self
Defense, and Strength and Conditioning
instruction available. This training program
transforms a student into a disciplined and
well-rounded individual. We may all different goals
but there is one thing we all want.
GET THE EDGE!
