TO A CARING PARENT
Hi, my name is Jim Hammons.
Many people walk through the doors of my school for the first time and think that martial arts is just about punching and kicking. This may surprise you, but there is so much more to it.
Our goal at Martial Arts Advantage is to use martial arts as a vehicle to inspire kids to be more confident and focused in their daily activities.
Not only do we assure a great workout with action-packed fitness and exercise, kids learn self-defense against strangers and bullies. But the most important thing we do is our powerful character development that breeds discipline, focus and respect in young leaders.
I hope your child will never have to use their self-defense skills. But I guarantee these other skills will come in handy EVERY day for the rest of their lives.
We’d love you to join us! Reach out today and we’ll get you set up with our special TulsaKids 4-Week Trial offer. It’s the best way to see if martial arts is right for you and your child.

Year-round lessons are offered 7 days a week, with morning, afternoon, and evening options to work around your busy schedule! Safety is our number one priority, both in the water and out.
