Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Brave Martial Arts programs.
How can we try a class to see if my child likes it?
Brave offers several trial options: Option #1 Our most popular trail is our 4 week KICKSTART class which allows students and parents an opportunity to get to know our Black Belt instructors and how we teach martial arts to kids ages 4-12. The Kickstart class meets weekly and students will earn their first belt upon completion. The Kickstart program meets throughout the year, click on one of our offers to see when the next class begins! Option #2: 3 class trial with flexible scheduling Progress Check: Our Brave team meets with all families once their child is enrolled in a trial. We want our students to be successful on and off the mats, so we want to hear from parents their goals as their child begins their training in martial arts.
