Our Karate Junior Program is based on the core values of NAK Martial Arts Training.

"Martial Arts Begins and Ends With Respect."

We develop your child’s awareness and skills in these primary areas: Respect, Self Control, Courage, Honesty and Integrity. Our core curriculum includes hi-energy drills and skills designed to build and condition each child’s attitude, behavior and overall character development. Our youth karate programs are designed to enrich vital human characteristics such as confidence, modesty and perseverance through expert teaching and positive reinforcement. As a parent you will witness dramatic and immediate changes in your child’s everyday approach to life. We also teach valuable life skills that focus on Goal-Setting, positive attitude, relationship building, communication skills and Black Belt Excellence.

Black Belt Excellence requires each student to become a team player committed to improving themselves and their community. The levels of dedication and hard work involved to obtain Black Belt Excellence will create a community personified by positive moral characteristics.

Two traits I hold in high regard are integrity and diligence, and both of these wonderful qualities apply to Sigung Sal and NAK. Consequently, I am compelled to tell you that he impressed me so much that I signed up my two daughters to be trained by him in the martial arts. And with his guidance and direction, both girls have improved immensely in their studies and their own personal self-esteem. One of my girls is now a straight A student and the other girl has brought her grades up two levels. With Sigung Sal everything is upbeat and up-front and this attitude reflects in his personality. Survival today is tough, but not when you have a friend like Sigung Sal Banuelos.

Our relationship confirms that win-win situations occur when two people desire a positive result. I wish to thank Sigung Sal for being a fantastic role model for his friends, customers and family. He is the reason I chose to maintain both a professional and personal relationship for so many years.

Wofgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the opera “Don Giovanni” at one sitting, and it was played without rehearsal the following day. No one can give a person a need for success, a desire to do his very best every moment of every day but where innate talents exists, they must be challenged and developed and Sigung Sal is the person that brings out these achievements in other people. He is the Mozart of the martial arts world and as a human being. I believe his inherent desire for accomplishment is the spark that lights the fire from which Sigung Sal derives the warmth that sustains it. I extend my heartiest wishes for continued success in, and out of, business’s symphony halls and with life in general.

Practical Self-Defense and Safety Awareness

It’s a scary world out there for kids. Kids tend to listen to people they like, trust and respect. Our highly trained teaching staff will share vital safety tips and teach your child practical self-defense. The Black Belt Training system teaches children how to protect themselves (although not in the hard-core, violent way that you might imagine!) Most important is that your child understands some simple rules of safety. They will learn tips such as safety in numbers and learning to practice safe habits in their daily routine. Knowledge is power; we provide an explanation of common abduction lures and teach kids to be cautiously aware of their surroundings. While our program will teach your child the necessary “protection skills,” the emphasis of our curriculum is on developing the skills and EMPOWER them to be TOP PERFORMERS!

Champions are always Victors and never Victims...

Kids who learn to defend themselves usually will never have to. They have learned to walk with confidence and they are less apt to be a prime target for bullies and/or abductors. Studies prove that anyone who wants to harm a child or has ill intent is more likely to go for the weakest looking kid. Kids that are aware and act in a more confident manner are the greatest deterrent to bullies and dangerous adults. Kids who train in the Martial Arts become more assertive and less aggressive. Just like Adults, if they have a healthy outlet for their energy, they will let go of stress and frustrations. Kids with a high level of self-confidence are also better able to deal with negative peer pressure and "Say No" to dangerous situations and threatening adults.

Healthy, Wealthy, Happy & Fit...with a Fighting Spirit that will Never Quit!

The public heath alarm has sounded! Television, video games and fast foods present significant temptations and challenges to our young people today. Most people are now well aware of the significant increase in overweight children in the United States. Today, almost one out of three children in the U.S. is either overweight or borderline overweight and likely to develop type 2 diabetes. We strive every day to deliver a program that builds a sense of balance for your child. Our Junior Program inspires kids with specific instruction on how to live healthier, how to exercise and how to build energy. We want your child to be better prepared to face life’s challenges and be successful in everything they do. Most kids are less active than previous generations and spend too much time on the computer or playing video games. They barely even have a structured gym class in school. Combine the lack of activity with the ease of fast foods and the junk that kids can easily become addicted to, and it's easy to see why our nation is creating kids at risk. It’s absolutely critical that we teach our children the habits we want them to carry into the future. Proper nutrition, supplementation, and exercise habits build foundation that allows children to become strong, healthy, and vibrant adults. If we teach our children to make healthy choices now, then they will continue to make healthy choices into adulthood and teach their children to do the same. Our program will get your child in the best shape.

What would you think if I told you that your child's levels of Confidence, Energy, and Enthusiasm could be increased -- until they become unstoppable?... Unstoppable in pursuit of:

• Academic Achievement

• High Self-Esteem

• A Fit, Healthy Lifestyle

You may not realize it... but high achievers aren't born -- they are made.

...And now, by joining the NAK Team...YOU can put these skills to work in your family! Not only will your child enjoy the fun and excitement of an upbeat, positive Martial Art program, they will be developing "real life skills"...and will benefit immediately!

Because your child's:

self control -- your child will follow rules and resist negative peer pressure -- automatically!

improved focus -- your child will listen effectively, and will "zero in" on the task at hand...unaffected by distractions!

unstoppable self-confidence -- all types of challenges will be tackled more skillfully; your child will be free to pursue the many opportunities life has to offer -- without fear!

In fact, once your child is in class, he or she will

• feel better -- beginning almost immediately

• look better -- as muscles tone up and physical well-being improves

• think more clearly -- and I don't need to share with you the benefits of clear thinking in school, do I?

If you are among those who don't want to "wait" for these important life skills...if you are committed to providing the best possible opportunities for your child -- right now -- we are offering a complimentary NAK Introductory Program.

How do you get your child started?

It’s easy to start. We start by scheduling a FREE PRIVATE LESSON for your child. We require a parent or legal guardian to be present so that we can get to know you and your child better. At the same time, we will give you a tour of our training facility (called a Dojo), educate you about our school, our staff and the programs we offer. You will have the chance to see if our program is right for you and your family. There is no cost or obligation for the evaluation lesson. Our tuition rates are reasonable, competitive and affordable. Call right away and we’ll show you how we can make a difference in the life of your child.

It’s never been easier or less “risky” to find out whether the Martial Arts are really right for your family!
