ANTI-BULLYING

Bullying is an epidemic.  One of the biggest reasons parents enroll their children in martial arts is to help them develop the confidence to handle bullying situations and to prevent them from bullying others.

Our anti-bullying approach teaches young adults to:

• Recognize bullying behavior
• Stay calm during difficult situations
• Use confident posture and body language
• Speak with confidence and respect
• Avoid physical confrontations whenever possible
• Seek help from trusted adults
• Help others who are being bullied
• Learn that celebrating your achievements doesn’t require tearing someone else down
• Protect themselves only when absolutely necessary

Our goal isn’t to teach students to fight—it is to teach them how to avoid conflict, make smart decisions, and stand up for themselves with confidence and self-control. Young adults who project confidence are often less likely to be targeted by bullies, and the life skills they develop through martial arts training help them both on and off the mat.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Fastkix doesn’t just offer taekwondo classes -we hold many special events during the year, including Parents’ Night Out, Halloween Party, Boy’s Night, Mushroom Ball Tournament and Girls’ Nights and more!  These extra events give our student some fun time with their friends. Open to all students, we also offer some events that siblings can join so the whole family can get in on the fun! 

We also offer special Girls-Only Events

While our regular martial arts classes are co-ed, boys often outnumber girls on the training floor. That’s why we regularly host girls only events led by our female master instructors.  The tween/teen years can be especially challenging for our young ladies, and we provide a safe space for them to bond, mentor younger girls, be mentored by older girls and share their good and bad times with each other.  

These special events provide an environment where girls can:

• Build friendships with other girls who share similar goals. 
• Gain confidence by training alongside other female students. 
• Feel comfortable asking questions and trying new skills. 
• Learn from strong female role models and instructors. 
• Encourage one another instead of comparing themselves to others. 
• Celebrate their achievements in a positive, empowering atmosphere. 

Girls who attend our Girls-Only events leave with greater confidence, stronger friendships, and renewed excitement for training. They return to their regular classes feeling more comfortable, more motivated, and more willing to take on leadership roles.

When girls support girls, amazing things happen. Our Girls-Only events and Girl to Girl Mentor program help create a sense of belonging while reminding every student that strength comes in many forms—and that every young lady deserves the opportunity to discover just how strong she can be.

What parents are saying:

When my son started taekwondo, I thought he would go and take classes and then come home. Fastkix has been so much more than that! They’ve become family.  The instructor team has so much passion for the sport – it is contagious. They have events that really bring the kids together outside of regular taekwondo time like their Halloween Party, Parents Night Out, Girls Night and Boys Night. Students from the surrounding areas means my kids made friends outside of their schools which I loved!   -K. Harris

My daughter received her black belt from Fastkix last year. This is an exceptional program genuinely invested in each student’s development. Instructors create a save and supportive environment where students can build confidence, discipline and physical strength. It’s not only about taekwondo technique, but they also help build a strong foundation to face adverse situations in life. Instructors truly care about their students and want them to success in every endeavor. The teachers have had such a positive impact on my daughter that she has stayed connected with them even after completing her taekwondo journey.  –P. Jain
