FAQ

• How much of the planning will I have to do?

  We can’t decide who to invite, and there are a few other details that you’ll need to be involved in, but we’ll take care of planning activities, providing supervision and instruction, and handling the set-up and clean-up for the party.

• I don’t want my child to learn that violence is acceptable. Won’t giving them a martial arts party make them think it’s okay to be aggressive?

  Not at all. Martial arts instruction teaches that students must respect instructors, one another, and themselves. We never encourage aggression in or out of our martial arts school.

• Who will be supervising the party? I don’t want my child’s friends’ parents to be worried.

  Experienced martial arts instructors will be on hand to make sure that kids learn in a safe and carefully supervised environment.

• I’m worried that my child will be bored. Is the whole party like a martial arts class?

  No. Basic martial arts instruction is part of the fun, but we also provide kids with fun activities and games during the party. Nobody will be bored. Videos and books also lack the community feeling that Meditative Movementclasses have to offer, which is a significant motivating factor to actually getting up and practicing.

• My child loves martial arts but I’m not sure about their friends. Will they have fun, too?

  Of course! Even kids who have never studied martial arts can find something to love at our parties. They might discover that they have a real gift for kicking and punching (in a controlled environment.) Long after you master the beginner movements, your Meditative Movementpractice will continue to evolve with you. You may continue to study at deeper and deeper levels, further increasing its benefits, and embodying the Meditative Movement principles for life.

• What if my child decides they want to take martial arts classes after the party?

  We’d be thrilled to have your child as a student. We can provide you with information about age-appropriate classes to take home and review at the end of the party – and the same goes for your child’s friends’ parents, too.
