DOES YOUR TEENAGER NEED HELP BECOMING THEIR BEST SELVES?
Teenagers are smart and capable – but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around. But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations – and an opportunity to learn how to be their best.

HELP IN ONE OF THESE AREAS?
They make hasty, poorly-considered decisions and need to have better judgment.
They’re being bullied at school – or they’re the one doing the bullying. They don’t get enough exercise or need to lose weight.
They have low self-esteem and seem to be down all the time. They give up when things get difficult and fail to meet their goals.
RAISING A TEENAGER REQUIRES PERSISTENCE & PATIENCE
It can test your sanity even at the best of times. Yet, you want the best for your teenager. You want them to have the tools they need to succeed now and later in life – and you’d like that to happen without having to pull out all your hair in the process. Getting them to do anything you want them to do can feel utterly impossible, and you’re not sure where to start.
Studying martial arts helps kids learn how to overcome their problems and learn important lessons – the kind of lessons that will follow them to your home, to the classroom, and for the rest of their lives.
YOUR TEEN WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
Teenagers who study martial arts learn the benefits of self-control and discipline with every lesson. Our classes emphasize core values like discipline, respect, and persistence. Students learn that the way they treat others – in and out of the dojo – reflects on them as people and affects their ability to achieve their goals.
LEARN THE VALUE OF RESPECTING THEMSELVES & OTHERS
Teens sometimes seem to be all attitude and no respect – in fact, it can seem like they go out of the way to respect all authority figures.
In our martial arts school, respect is a core discipline. Students must treat their instructor and fellow students with respect at all times.
Ultimately, teens who study martial arts learn that when they respect themselves, others will respect them, too.
JUDGMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL SKILL IN MARTIAL ARTS
Whether they’re in a martial arts class or in a competition, the difference between a good performance and a poor one often comes down to judgment.
Students learn how to make judgments on the fly using the information they have on hand in conjunction with their training.
They also learn how to differentiate between good instincts and bad ones – and to use that information to make judgments.
GET YOUR KIDS OFF THE COUCH AND INTO MARTIAL ARTS
It might seem like your teenager would happily spend all day sitting on the couch playing video games or posting on social media.
The electronics epidemic might be a good thing in many ways, but teenagers still need physical activity to stay fit and healthy.
Martial arts classes provide teens with challenging workouts in a fun, social setting that rivals any video game.
HOW TO SET (AND ACHIEVE) GOALS
Teens sometimes seem not to care about setting goals either in the short-term or the long-term.
The study of martial arts requires them to pursue goals on a regular basis. Each skill they learn, and each belt they earn, represents a goal that they have achieved.
Goal-setting in this way provides teens with the tools they need to set achievable goals in school, at home, and in life.

I have been so impressed with Master Overbey and everyone who works with him. My son has learned a lot, improved his concentration at school and has become even more polite while having a ton of fun. He has also attended the summer camps and day camps when school happens to have a day off. He loved the summer camp so much this year that he can’t wait for next summer so he can do it again. If you are looking for something that helps your child become a well rounded person and a place that rewards their students for getting good grades, doing good deeds and reading on top of teaching them self defense skills and teaching an anti-bullying message, this is definately where you want to have them go!

My two children, 6 and 5, have been going here for almost a year and a half. My daughter showed early markers for ADD, and the psychologist who tested her recommended martial arts to help her learn focus. The difference in her over the last year is amazing. She is listening more, and her goal is to be a pink power ranger (or to get a black belt like Noah, one of the older kids there!).
The best part of the school is that the kids there are wonderful – even the older kids are respectful, and are patient and kind to my younger ones. I really think this is a special place. The instructors use role modeling and patience, rather than intimidation or shame, to get the best from the kids. There are older kids who help with every class, and to a one they are all great kids. I can’t overemphasize how much I appreciate this place as a safe place for my kids to learn life skills and to be good citizens.

Master Overbey’s program is the best! Our oldest has been attending classes for about a year and a half now and has learned so much about respect, safety, and focus along with technique. We just started his 4 yr old brother and I am amazed every class how well he participates and how Master Overbey makes the class material pertain to any age group- even a preschooler!

Our family really appreciates the attention to detail and all of the exceptional staff at Master Overbey’s. We are all learning skills and activities to stay fit, safe, and aware. The summer camp is exceptional and the day camps are such an asset for working parents.Thank-you for having such a great program for everyone!
