Questions from Watchung parents.
Do you teach self-defense to kids?
Yes, inside every belt level. Children learn to keep their distance, use a strong voice, and block and strike if they ever have to. We start with boundaries and staying calm, because the goal is a child who rarely needs the rest.
Do you have jiu jitsu classes?
We don't. Warrior is a striking school, built on taekwondo kicks and kickboxing-based hand techniques practiced on pads. Families who want grappling are better served by a jiu jitsu gym.
Do you offer self-defense classes for women?
Not as part of our kids program. Adults train in a separate program, so call the South Plainfield studio at 908-293-7446 to ask what adult classes are running now.
What age groups do you teach?
Five: Mighty Warriors (18 months to 2), Mini Warriors (3 to 4), Rising Warriors (5 to 6), Warriors (7 to 9), and Leaders (10 to 11).
