Welcome to American MMA’s homeschool program.
For many homeschooling families, finding a martial arts program that aligns with their values and educational goals can be a challenge. You’ve chosen to homeschool your children—congratulations. It’s a path that is both demanding and deeply rewarding.
After decades of teaching children and speaking with parents, I’ve noticed recurring reasons why families opt out of the public school system. But today, let’s focus less on the why and more on ensuring the where—where your children go for additional education and activities—reflects your values.
Many homeschooling parents have told us they’re looking for environments that reinforce, rather than conflict with, their core principles. In today’s world, it’s easy to come across messaging and narratives that would have seemed shocking or unacceptable just a decade ago. What’s considered “normal” can sometimes feel quite alarming.
Martial arts, when taught correctly, goes far beyond physical self-defense. It offers tremendous benefits in character development, focus, discipline, and resilience. While these traits can take years to fully cultivate, we work to accelerate that process.
That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive program that combines cutting-edge self-defense training with a 24-point character development curriculum. This approach addresses real-world scenarios and teaches children how to defend themselves both physically and mentally.
We’ve also learned through years of experience that the best youth instructors are often parents themselves—especially those who homeschool. Every one of our youth coaches has children, and some are homeschooling parents as well. This perspective is invaluable in delivering a program that truly supports homeschool values.
Personally, I’ve been teaching youth martial arts for over 30 years, and we’re proud to be celebrating our 21st year in business. We bring decades of experience and a deep understanding of how to positively impact young minds.
