Empowering Students with Valuable Life Skills, One Kick at a Time
Shaw Martial Arts is a unique martial arts school founded in April 2011 by the Shaw Family. Our mission is to empower our students with valuable life skills that benefit development of character, confidence, focus, self-esteem, sportsmanship, and physical well-being. We strive to provide our students with a foundation in martial arts that they can use as a tool to increase their confidence and coordination.
Our Programs
We offer a variety of programs to cater to different age groups and skill levels. Our programs include:
- ICI (Age 7+): Our ICI program is focused on teaching American Karate, a combination of Taekwondo, Judo, with some Hapkido and Kenpo. Our ICI students are determined by age, maturity, coordination, and stamina. Pricing starts at $110 per month for 2 days a week or $75 per month for 1 day a week.
- VRIC (Ages 7+): Our VRIC program follows a similar step-up curriculum, teaching the basics first and then introducing more complex techniques as students advance to higher belts. Students start at the white belt level and advance through belt tests.
- WOMEN (Females Only): Our Women's Only program is designed specifically for females and focuses on basic fitness, self-defense, and karate techniques. This program is currently on hold due to construction at the location.
