FAQ

Most frequently asked questions and answers

The great thing about our program is, that the earlier you get started, the better your long-term results!

We have children in our programs that started as early as 3- or 4-years-old, but since children develop at different rates, the best (and really, ONLY) way to see if your child is ready for our program is to take advantage of one of our WEB SPECIALS and try it for yourself!

No. In fact, the opposite is true!

Children are exposed to HUGE amounts of simulated and real violence in video games, on television, in movies, on the internet, and other in media outlets.

But in our unique program, we teach students real, practical, effective non-violent conflict resolution techniques and tactics that can defuse the situation before it escalates to violence. We also teach escape techniques and tactics that even smaller people can use to move to safety if approached by a potentially dangerous situation.

Should your child be confronted with an aggressive situation that can’t be resolved peacefully or escaped from, he or she will have the basic martial arts skills needed to defend themselves.

There are so many!

Martial arts students benefit from increased physical fitness and mental focus. 

The focus on self-discipline, respect, self-confidence, and perseverance in the face of setbacks builds character in students young and old. Our students also join a community of people who share an interest in martial arts, improving their own way of life, and making a positive contribution in the community.

Our program not only gives your child a SAFE, inspiring place to be after school, but also provides them with an AMAZING program of self-improvement, both mentally and physically.

Imagine resting easy, knowing your child is in competent, caring hands while keeping fit, getting plenty of physical exercise, learning to defend themselves, and becoming more confident, focused, and disciplined!

Really, the only way to know if our program is a good fit for you and your family is to try it out!

We have some GREAT WEB SPECIALS, so you can try the program with no strings attached and see for yourself how the program will benefit your child. 

One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual and will progress at their own rate.

Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance.

So, even students that aren’t as physically fit as the star quarterback of a football team can have a wonderful experience in our program and become stronger, fitter, and more flexible.

The instructors are awesome here at Family Martial Arts! They are thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. Our whole family takes classes here. This has been such a good investment for my family. I have seen my kids grow in their confidence and self-discipline. My kids love Grand Master, Master Geddes, Mr. Butler, and Miss Osborne.

My son has enjoyed coming to Karate the past year and I can not wait to see how far he gets in the next 3 years. He's a green belt already and he started in May of 2022.

This place is amazing. Through the instructors time and patience and genuine care for their students, I have been able to watch my son grow in so many ways. They teach martial arts fundamentals, but their social emotional lessons in how to be courageous, a good leader, being honest…. The time and attention they give to each family has helped build a true community. Most importantly, I’m my opinion, it has given my son male role models. Master Cunningham and Geddes have been monumental In Helping this single mama instill and cultivate life lessons in a meaningful way. My son was once incredibly shy, and wouldn’t be willing to try anything. I have watched my son truly blossom and thrive with this environment they have carefully created. 10/10.

My 7 year old daughter wanted to learn martial arts after we recently moved to Waco. We are so fortunate to have found Family Martial Arts of Texas. She has learned so much more than the physical act of Taekwondo. Every one of the instructors are all amazing and give her the focus and attention she needs. Her confidence, attitude, behavior and self esteem have all greatly improved and she has become quite skilled at the arts and has also been inducted into their Black Belt Club. It’s amazing to watch my daughter excel at something she loves and is good at and it was all her choice to join. This is the longest she has ever stuck with a sport or activity. I am an extremely proud father watching her excel and am thankful we found FMAT. Highly recommend.

My daughter started at FMA when she was five years old with some severe anxiety issues that made if very difficult for her to attend class. The amazing staff was so patient and kind with her, working with her to help her overcome her fears. You wouldn't believe how much confidence she has developed over the last two years. We are so grateful for the patience, perseverance, and respect she has learned, in addition to the physical training. Now our whole family is taking classes.

Although many people think the martial arts are just about fighting, the truth is that the physical “kicking and punching” are really just the tools that I use to teach the more important, and MUCH more valuable lessons about yourself.
