AKF Martial Arts in Delavan, Wi
Welcome to AKF Martial Arts! Our Delavan martial arts academy is dedicated to helping your child become a more well-rounded, confident, and disciplined person, while also teaching them vital self defense skills. Our martial arts program for kids is built around respect. Respect is the foundation of the martial arts and is not something that is just given to adults. Kids learn to that respect is given to everyone, regardless of age or rank. Children also learn to receive respect. Respect is a two-way street and it makes the martial arts an amazing experience that will impact your child’s life forever.
Kids Learn Self Defense Techniques and Gain Confidence
In addition to respect, your child will also improve their confidence. Our Delavan martial arts program teaches them to be prepared for any circumstance so they can be ready to react appropriately. It’s no secret that children that are involved in the martial arts are less susceptible to bullying because they are more confident, prepared, and – as a last resort – able to defend themselves.
