Family Oriented
From the class schedule to the program focus to the interaction inside the facility, Junior MBS Martial Arts was designed for families to have a positive, supportive place to call home!
A Sense of Belonging
It's not a luxury; it's a developmental requirement that kids have connections from groups outside the home where they feel like they belong. Where they're accepted, supported, and even challenged, but most of all, where they feel they belong. Junior MBS Martial Arts curates that experience for every single one of our students so that they know they have friends and peers they can rely on.
Character Skills
Yes, they'll learn impressive physical skills, but some of the most important lessons at Junior MBS Martial Arts are about Persistence, Determination, Empathy and other foundational life skills that students will be able to utilize for the rest of their lives.
Athletic Skill Building
It's more than amazing warrior moves - it's proprioception, balance, agility and more - physical traits that when started young, will help your child become healthier, faster, stronger, more confident in their own bodies and far more willing to take on future physical challenges.
Personal Growth
Parents have told us that the character development lessons and positive skill building their children get at Junior MBS Martial Arts is a huge parenting help. We've watched hundreds of kids turn into responsible, compassionate, determined teens and adults.
Kinesthetic Development
Developmental milestones don't stop once your child has grown out of the toddler phase. They can discover next-level coordination, build useable muscle strength, create dense bone structure and develop flexibility that will aid athletic performance and protect their bodies as they age. But they won't do this unless they're in a program that designed for it. Junior MBS Martial Arts is!
It's "Worth it"
So often, activities for kids just aren't worth the hassle. Getting everyone ready, driving across town, trying to create a new routine...all to discover that the program just isn't great. We hear all the time that other activities for this age group have leadership that isn't in control, instruction that's sub par and programming that doens't seem to connect with students. But families at Junior MBS Martial Arts tell us that our program is the best they've ever attended!
Kids absolutely love it!
The most important part is that kids love classes. They're having so much fun in class that they don't even realize they're learning life skills that they'll take with them forever. Parents tell us that classes at Junior MBS Martial Arts are the best part of their child's week!
Athletic Prowess
Our curriculum is designed to turn everyday kids into future leaders. It's not just parents on the sidelines who can see the physical capabilities grow, the students can feel it too! The smiles on their faces when they nail the next big move.
Confidence in Action
It's one thing to tell a kid to be confident. But when they go from day 1, not knowing anything, to being physically capable of the skills at their level, you can actually see their confidence grow. They earn it class after class.
Practical Application
We hope it never, ever happens, but if they need to, a student from Junior MBS Martial Arts could absolutely defend themselves in real life. But what they'll definitely do is apply the other lessons (those about patience, resilience and determination) every single day - at home, at school, as they move into college life and beyond. You'll have helped set them up for success, even if they never have to defend themselves physically.
It's so much fun!
We're not sure if it's the super engaging instructors, the age specific curriculum, the inclusive nature of the program, or the confidence kids are gaining, but kids tell us that classes at Junior MBS Martial Arts are the most fun they've ever had. No more dragging your child to their activities; they'll be in the car waiting when it's time for class!

Your child will be surrounded by peers striving towards the same goals they are. They'll build friendships and be supported in their journey.
There's literally no better place for your child to learn life skills like Persistence, Determination and Empathy. They'll listen and learn from role-model instructors, and they'll love it!
It's more than amazing ninja moves - it's proprioception, balance, agility and more - physical traits that will remain with and benefit your child for the rest of their lives.
Kids need activities that are engaging and awesome. They *have* to be cooler than video games, TV, phones and other screen oriented activities that simply aren't beneficial. Junior MBS Martial Arts is exactly what they want - here's why:
Our goals for our Junior MBS Martial Arts students are the same as your goals as a parent. Confidence, Self-Esteem, and Healthy Habits for life!
Having a solid foundation of positivity in your child's life is invaluable. You can't control their experiences everywhere, nor would you want to. But at MBS Martial Arts, you'll know they'll always be good ones.
At MBS Martial Arts, it doesn't matter if your child isn't the best kid on the team; they'll never ride the bench. They'll always know they're valued members of class, and part of the team, each and every day.
Traditional Youth Sports don't work for most kids.
For many families, the emotional cost and lack of real benefits simply isn't worth the effort and time commitment
Junior MBS Martial Arts is the perfect solution
All of the benefits of a group sport - teamwork, interaction with peers, learning with a group, but with all of the advantages of an individual activity
The fact is that many of our students also do plenty of traditional sports like Football, Softball, Soccer and more. And for kids who love to do it all, their coaches consistently tell our instructors that training at Junior MBS Martial Arts gives these kids a competitive edge with reaction time, teamwork, and a higher "Sports IQ".
Families choose Junior MBS Martial Arts over other activities because our students truly thrive
Only .00016%
Make it "big"
For every 1 Million kids who play team sports age 8-12, on average only 168 are drafted into professional leagues. This doesn't mean you shouldn't play, but it for some families, it means the demanding schedules and negative culture just aren't worth it.
Riding the bench
After only a few seasons
Kids are often benched long before they've been given a chance to develop as athletes. At Junior MBS Martial Arts, absolutely no one rides the bench. We make sure every student is challenges according to their abilities, and is suported as they grow into their potential.
"It's not their thing"
They deserve to find their "thing"
At Junior MBS Martial Arts, our goal isn't to pump out pros and bench the rest; it's to develop a students' full potential. For many kids, this means they may never play in the big leagues, but they'll love coming to every class, and they'll take the mental, emotional, and physical traits they develop with them into adulthood (even if they're not a pro player)!
For many families, the emotional cost and lack of real benefits simply isn't worth the effort and time commitment
All of the benefits of a group sport - teamwork, interaction with peers, learning with a group, but with all of the advantages of an individual activity
Can we start at any time?
Yes! We don't have typical seasons like traditional sports. We are ready for beginners all the time!
My child is too short/tall/shy/rambunctious etc. Will they fit in?
Most likely, yes. But that's why we have a trial; to be sure that our program can accomodate your child and anything they need. Parents often find that their children fit right in because our program is designed to be inclusive, but if you have specific concerns, give us a call and talk to one of our professional instructors so that we can get a better feel for what your family may need!
Will my child get hurt?
You can never completely eliminate risk, but we do our absolute best through conscious programming and expert instruction. In fact, we most often have children need to take it easy in our classes because they hurt themselves in baseball/soccer/volleyball etc. It's almost never the other way around!
How do we schedule a trial?

Just a few of the reviews from members at Junior MBS Martial Arts
A must join dojo for kids. The self defense and martial arts is only part of the journey. The way the instructors teach the students about modesty, courtesy, integrity, self-control, perseverance, and indomitable spirit are inspiring. Daily 'mat chats' about everything from dealing with bullies to handling fear and anxiety. In addition, instructors take the time to focus on each individual student and address any areas where they might be behind. I've experienced many martial arts training facilities, and what the MBS team does is the best I've seen in CNY!
b is for bella
MBS Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for my 8-year-old son. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow both in skill and confidence. Since joining, my son has not only improved his physical abilities but has also learned important values like discipline, respect, and perseverance. The school fosters a supportive and encouraging environment, and the progress we’ve seen in his focus and self-esteem has been amazing. We’re so grateful to MBS Martial Arts for the positive impact they’ve had on his development!
