For the past 12 years the Bond Academy Martial Arts and Program has grown in numbers. Martial Arts is a great way for children to learn the basics skills of body awareness, body control, and self defense skills.

We all hope that one never has to use his/her skills of self defense. However, it is always safer to have a basic understanding of what one should do if they are ever in a confrontation.

The Russian Martial Art of Systema develops the students body to be ready for a natural reaction to a dangerous situation. From a fall, to a physical attack, Systema prepares ones body for the correct response.

In our program students learn the basics of striking with slaps, punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Also, protecting oneself on the ground, which includes grappling against one opponent, as well as multiple people. 

Students also develop great body awareness through rolls on the ground, group pushing and pulling, and blindfold work. 

Some of our students who have trained since Kindergarten/Montessori now move without fear and tension. They move with freedom and fluidity. Hopefully, this will help them throughout their lives.
