Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Children's Program in Des Moines

But in martial arts – kids are in a group environment, but every child is on their own unique journey. They can go at their own pace. Some kids advance faster, others slower. That’s okay. 

What’s important is that your child is having fun, challenging themselves, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.

The coordination, strength, and speed comes with time – even in kids who are not ‘natural athletes’!

That’s completely up to you. If you need some time to yourself to relax – go get a coffee or a bite to eat. Parents deserve all the time off you can get. If you’d like to stay and observe you are more than welcome to as well.
