3 Reasons Why More Parents Choose Curran Martial Arts!


Character Education:  Strengthening children from the inside-out

In the past, the study of Martial Arts was considered synonymous with gymnastics, T-ball, horseback riding and other similar "after school activities". Today, it is widely recognized that the study of Martial Arts is far more than an extra curricular activity, but a course in "self-mastery" designed to empower children with the keys to extraordinary achievement.

To that end, the Curran Martial Arts Academy features the "S.T.A.R." Character Education Program. S.T.A.R stands for Success Through Accepting Responsibility or Stop, Think, Act, and Review. This award winning program was developed by the highly acclaimed Jefferson Center for Education, located in Pasadena, CA. The S.T.A.R. program provides our instructors with an effective, ongoing and systematic method of teaching children the common values upon which the martial arts were founded: honesty, respect, responsibility, integrity, courage, tolerance, justice, self-confidence and politeness.



Personal Safety:  Curran Martial Arts, "SAFE-DEFENSE" Program

The teaching methods of the Curran Martial Arts Academy focus upon practical techniques designed to keep your child safe in a real life self defense situation... where nothing can be taken for granted... There are no points, no time limits and no referees. Therefore, we feel we have amoral and ethical obligation to offer a curriculum that has been rigidly tested and proven to be an intelligent and practical method that effectively addresses the realities of an actual self-defense situation.

And more importantly (for the kids anyway!) Martial Arts is good clean fun! Our classes are an excellent way to burn of extra energy, or increase the energy level and vitality of the less active child.



Full Time Staff - First Class Facility:  Raising the standards of the Martial Arts Industry

Our full time staff has been put through vigorous and intensive training designed to help make them the best teachers, the best martial artists, and the best people they can be. To help make each class as educational and entertaining as possible, we employ a staff large enough so that each rank has a separate instructor. This maximizes personal attention by ensuring low student to instructor ratios.

We strive to hold ourselves to a higher standard than is expected by our students. From the cleanliness of our facility, to the quality of our training equipment, to the school's overall appearance and interior decor.





Black Belt Club Program


Black Belt is recognized worldwide as an achievement of excellence, character, and strength.  We at Curran Martial Arts are a Black Belt School. New students initially enroll into our Junior Dragons Program. This is done for two reasons.

1. Determine the students level of aptitude and interest in the martial arts.

2. Determine the students level of commitment to the goal of black belt.

Upon successful completion of the Junior Dragons course, the next step is the Black Belt Club. The Black Belt Club is the inner core of the school consisting of actively training Black Belts and students that have attaining Black Belt as their martial arts goal. Black Belt Club members engage in a highly specialized course of instruction specifically designed to prepare students to advance to the rank of Black Belt.

Black Belt Club members are awarded with a specialized uniform to show their commitment to the martial arts.

After the first six months of the Junior Dragons course, students consult with the head instructor to review their progress and discuss their long term goals in the martial arts.

After the completion of the Junior Dragons Course, students that do not qualify for the Black Belt Club, or choose not to commit themselves to the goal of Black Belt, will conclude their training at this point. Black Belt Club members pride themselves on their high level of commitment, desire and dedication. This camaraderie, energy and enthusiasm is what strengthens and supports each member on their journey to Black Belt excellence. Good luck and we look forward to your future nomination.
