  It’s common for parents not to have a perfect overlap between their work hours and their children’s school hours. That’s where before and after-school programs come in. We supervise your children in a safe and enriching environment during the hours when you need it. Our  after-school program in Milton  makes use of all sorts of fun activities, not just Taekwondo, to keep your child occupied and engaged. What if you want to try some of those activities at home? Here are some program ideas that you can try. Paper Bag Puppets This classic craft activity has been popular for a long time because kids love it, and they can hold a puppet show afterward.

Write Fairy Tales Creative children who are old enough to write will love to write their own fairy tales. We suggest that you create writing prompts and place them in a jar. Let each child pick out their ow...

  As a parent, you might be curious about what goes into teaching kids about any type of martial art, including karate.

  We run a taekwondo summer camp, but we offer dozens more activities than just taekwondo. After all, it would get boring for kids to just do martial arts all day at summer camp.

In fact, we even offer trips as part of our Milton Academy summer camp. Here’s what your child can look forward to if you enroll them with us.

  Afterschool programs are an important part of a child’s life. With even 3 hours per day in the program, children who attend every weekday end up spending 60 hours, or 2.5 full days in their afterschool program. It’s easy to see how the program makes a large impact – but how do you make sure that impact is truly valuable for your child? Look for an effective martial arts after school program. We’ll describe exactly what that looks like below. Quality Programming : It’s common for afterschool programming to have a theme based on the organization hosting it.

Our programming does more than teach your child taekwondo. We also: Provide homework help Provide educational programming Provide other physical activities Provide creati...

The evolution of typical jiu jitsu into the jiu jitsu we practice in Milton is an interesting story and one that informs how we compete in this sport. What is BJJ? BJJ stands for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It is a modern martial art which is used in MMA and is practiced throughout the world (despite that fact that it has “Brazilian” in the name.) There‘s a wide use of submission holds, joint-locks, chokeholds and ground fighting techniques in jiu jitsu. It’s a strong martial art to use to round out your physical skills, particularly if the main martial art that you practice doesn‘t focus much on ground fighting. The Evolution of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu There is a traditional Japanese martial art called jujitsu. This art seeks to give smaller, weak opponents an advantage they wouldn’t usually have over larger, stronger opponents. It focuses on leverage an...
