Our Vision
To help every kid and family become black belts in life.
Our Mission
Provide the most fun and affordable after school karate program with
instructors who are not only experts in martial arts, but who are also
black belts in helping children improve through activities that develop
mind, body, and life skills. We partner with schools and the community to
create a space where people feel a sense of belonging and learn how to make
their families and community a safer and better place.
Our Teaching Philosophy
Central to our teaching and coaching is involvement in our local
communities. That’s why all of our instructors are hired locally within
the community. We have strict requirements for demonstrated knowledge as
well as a commitment to training every member of our team.
All instructors are screened and fingerprinted, as part of our extensive
background and reference check process. As employees, they attend training
sessions to learn our safety procedures and programs, current sports rules
and regulations, innovative teaching techniques, and curriculum
development.
ActivStars Athletics wants to make learning martial arts so easy and fun
for every student and family. That is why we have no contracts. Our
sessions usually run in 3-month windows and families can sign-up anytime
during the first three weeks and even pay class to class. We also offer a
10% discount towards the first merchandise purchase for every new
student/family, so join our martial arts family today.
SafeShield
At ActivStars Athletics, we recognized that our students needed a specific
program to help them understand the way the world has changed, and it's a
big help for their parents too. So, we took existing safety practices and
developed our own unique program called the SAFE (Safety Awareness for
Everyone) Shield.
SafeShield builds on practices from the A-Z Abduction Prevention Program to
teach kids the best methods and skills to protect them from unforeseen
dangers. Our techniques include identifying safe or dangerous areas,
potentially threatening behaviors, and ways a child can say "no" or ask for
assistance.
Anti-Bullying
To protect our students everywhere, we have also created the ActivStars
Athletics Anti-Bullying Program.
This program prepares our students mentally by creating the "Mind of a
Black Belt." Lessons and instructions effectively teach our students to
better prepare and handle a verbal attack from a bully. They learn how to
identify these threats, respond, and be resilient in the face of such
challenges.
Stars Beyond the Classroom
Dangers can happen in almost any location, so students must be prepared to
respond in and out of the classroom.
ActivStars Athletics students are taught awareness habits to keep them safe and secure. This training adapts each semester, and your child's specific instruction will likely include location information as well. We allow students to ask questions and
