Elite After-School Martial Arts offers so much more than just a place for your kids to hang out after school. In fact, the Elite After-School Martial Arts program will help develop greater self-discipline and confidence in your child, and may even have an impact on your child’s success at school.
Often, after school programs don’t really achieve much aside from taking care of your child. With Elite After-School Martial Arts, it’s different. We have a structured plan in place to help develop greater confidence, leadership, focus and self-discipline in your child.
Elite After-School Martial Arts offers your child the chance to learn Martial Arts from highly qualified and dedicated professionals during their after school time. Not only this, your child will have fun and learn lots of new skills, including self-defense. However, that’s not all. Your child will also develop:
Self discipline- Greater focus
- Leadership
- Better behavior
- Greater levels of respect
- Time management
- Better study skills
Jason Yi’s Tae Kwon Do College is a traditional martial arts school offering character development within a family fitness center. Through the traditional art of Tae Kwon Do, Jason Yi’s Tae Kwon Do College facilitates with the building of confidence and boosting of self esteem via a high standard of martial arts training. Jason Yi’s Tae Kwon Do College offers positive martial arts training for families and those of all ages and is a character development center.
Hundreds of children and adults alike benefit from signing up for our traditional programs that offer a great deal of authenticity.
The results of the programs that we offer are extremely beneficial due to our approach of focusing not just on self defence but also on other important aspects of the art, such as working toward a strong mind, concentration and respect. Students are discouraged from inappropriate use of skills learned, such as when it is not necessary to do so, or when it is to display arrogance.
Of course, as well as working on cultivating traditional character strengths, we also teach martial art techniques to a very high level. Students can work their way up the belt grading structure and continually attain new levels of ability. Those students that enter competitions may also win medals at tournaments.
Martial arts learning has many other advantages. Children will benefit from better physical fitness, a positive approach to life, the ability to relax more easily and greater tolerance and understanding. One of the best parts about learning martial arts is that students will learn how to steer clear of conflict and prevent it before it even begins.
A Learning Environment with a Purpose
We make sure that the learning environment at Elite After-School Martial Arts has a purpose. It is structured and supervised. Children do not run wild at the program, and instead they have to behave in a manner appropriate to learning martial arts. This helps to build character and encourage learning.
The program is planned out thoroughly and no aspect of learning is overlooked. Your child will learn through fun daily activities and will develop self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, respect, leadership skills and concentration.
Each day your child will enjoy the following opportunities:
- A Martial Arts class with a clear learning plan that is separated by level of experience and age group, so your child can progress accordingly.
- A Life Skills lesson that covers how to deal with difficult people, such as bullies or helps develop essential skills such as organization.
In addition, your child will receive weekly take home lessons that help with character building. Topics of study include:
- How to demonstrate respect
- Finding good friends
- Keeping yourself safe
We can teach your child all the way to the highest level of Martial Arts, the black belt. Children that attain this goal have high self-esteem, are generally better leaders and have greater self-confidence and success than their class mates. They are better able to stand up for themselves and say “No” when faced with peer pressure. They have a more positive outlook on the world around them.
Elite After-School Martial Arts participants benefit from:
- Exciting and fun classes with our skilled professional instructors
- Private tutoring classes available to give your child the extra attention he or she might need
- FREE use of studios and all training equipment for practice
- Huge discounts on exciting martial arts birthday parties

Black Belt and Leadership Training Program
After at least three months of dedicated training, all children in good standing will be invited to join the rest of our other students in either our Black Belt Training Program or Leadership Training Program. These are for students and their families who have made the firm commitment to reach Black Belt and Beyond Level.
Are Martial Arts for your child?
Learning Martial Arts through structured classes such as ours may not be for you or your child. We’re far more structured than day care or a professional babysitting service. Our service is high quality and provides your child with much more than this. If you are looking for unstructured after school play for your child, this may not be for you.
If however, you can see the benefits that a structured martial arts program will bring to your child and want your child to learn new skills, develop self-confidence, leadership skills, concentration, respect and self-esteem then this could be just the program that you are looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my child become a bully through learning martial arts?
No. Martial arts teach that physical acts should only be used as a very last resort. Children taking classes will learn the importance of tolerance and understanding of others, which we find helps to deter issues.
Will you tutor my child to help improve her grades?
Our specialty is martial arts. While your child will have some time to do homework, we’ll not specifically teach your child school-taught subjects. However, we find that many students do better at school, achieving higher grades, due to the concentration and focus skills that we teach at Elite After-School Martial Arts.
My child has special needs. Will your program accept my child?
Our students include those with physical disabilities, those with ADHD and some with mild autism. Martial arts can be helpful for children with these needs.
Do you focus on competition winning or on teaching my child?
Your child’s development is top of the list for us. We want your child to develop the martial arts skills that we teach and gain all of the benefits that we have described as a result. Those that want to enter competitions can get training to do so. Over the years our students have won many awards and medals.
