Help them build confidence, focus, discipline, coordination, and practical self-defense skills in a positive, age-appropriate environment.
For beginners ages 4 to 12. No previous martial arts experience is needed.
Martial arts gives children a structured place to grow physically, mentally, and socially.
Confidence
Help your child become more comfortable speaking up, trying new things, and believing in what they can do.
Focus and Discipline
Age-appropriate instruction reinforces listening, following directions, self-control, and consistent effort.
Practical Self-Defense
Students learn useful skills while developing awareness, coordination, resilience, and respect for others.
Choosing the right activity for your child is a big decision. Two free weeks give your family time to meet the instructors, experience the classes, and see how your child responds before deciding what comes next.
That is completely normal. The trial is designed to give new students a welcoming first step, with instruction matched to their age and experience.
Two weeks inside the real Elite Force youth program, not a sales presentation.

Positive Coaching

Character Education

You do not need to choose the program yourself. The Elite Force team will help guide you based on your child's age and needs.
Craig founded Elite Force Martial Arts in 2003 and brings more than 35 years of martial arts and teaching experience to the school.
His own martial arts journey began after experiencing bullying as a child. That experience helped shape his commitment to teaching children how to become more confident, focused, capable, and strong.
At Elite Force, the goal is not simply to teach techniques. It is to help students develop skills and character that support them on and off the mats.
Elite Force uses martial arts as a vehicle to reinforce the qualities children need in everyday life.
ATTITUDE
Approaching challenges with a positive mindset and a willingness to learn.
BEHAVIOR
Practicing self-control, responsibility, respect, and good decision-making.
CHARACTER
Doing the right thing, treating others well, and becoming someone others can trust.
Your child can take the first step in just a few minutes.
Complete the short form with your contact information, your child's age, and what you would most like them to gain.
Elite Force will help answer your questions and guide your family toward the right youth class.
Bring your child in, meet the instructors, and let them experience the program across two full weeks.
Real experiences from parents and students can help you understand what the culture, coaching, and community are like.
