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.

My family discovered 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy Salisbury when we attended a Karate Birthday Party – we ran, did push-ups, broke boards and were completely won over by Sensei Rick and his staff.
Shortly afterwards we signed up our 4 year old and he has been in the program for almost three years, joined a few months ago by his older brother.
5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy supports my family’s values. At school no explicit lessons are given on confidence, respect, focus….
My sons are now confident, respectful, good listeners and they are also great at breaking boards lol. They love attending 5 Dragons Kyokushin Karate class and practice at home often.
I have never been to another karate school, but from what I hear 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy is different – the Life Skill Achievement Awards, Championship Level Instructors, and the teacher/student ratio (there are always at least 3 teachers per class), also make 5Dragons a special place.

This is a wonderful school.
Sensei Rick is an amazing instructor and he has created a gifted team of assistants.
Many of their students and instructors hold titles in National Competition including World Champion, National Champion, New England Grand Champion, and State Champion.
My son has been enrolled for eight years, starting with the Kids Karate program and continuing into the youth Marrial Arts program. My husband and I have both taken adult martial arts and Fitness Kickboxing. The instructors are talented, caring people, and the facilities are clean and bright.
The academy offers many classes and workshops to the community, and often non-members are encouraged to attend.
The summer camps are very well organized and offer long days and day camps during school breaks.
Enrolling at 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy Salisbury finally stopped our revolving door of gym memberships. This studio is so much more than any gym could be – I encourage you to give it a try.
