  • Quick way to calm your Child in an Emotional Flood

    As we know, children can lose control of their emotions for various reasons, and the behaviors we witness are generally unplanned. And since anxiety can look like defiance, adults often respond in counterproductive ways. When children are stressed, the amygdala, in the downstairs brain, is triggered, and the “fight or flight” response takes over. This hijacking of the brain makes it hard for children to be reached through conversation resulting in a disruption in the current environment. Implementing rapid resets can calm children and get their brains back “online.” When children are out of the zone, and their “lid is flipped,” the ....

  • Supporting Children’s Emotional Needs During the Pandemic Part 2

    Supporting Children’s Emotional Needs During the Pandemic Part 2
    We are all human and our responses
    to our current situation vary. Some have hunkered down and sorted through their new reality in a way that has motivated them to complete tasks and put new goals in place. Others have become increasingly overwhelmed and feel like they have no control over their lives at all. It’s important to note, however that there is not a right or wrong way to respond to what we have been presented with. It solely depends on each individual person and how they cope. And as parents are working to navigate their own emotions, they must also help their children manage
    their feelings. ....

  • Helping Children Feel Secure in an Uncertain World

    Helping Children Feel Secure in an Uncertain World
    The news can be full of scary stories and information, especially for children. Our current situation has brought about even more concern for everyone in the world. If adults are feeling panicked, imagine how children must be feeling. And no matter the age, children can be emotionally
    affected by the news and begin feeling anxious about what they are hearing. For this reason, it’s important for parents to spend time connecting with their children and implementing ways that help them feel secure. And, of course, during this worldwide turmoil, parents may also feel unsure and struggle with what to say to their children. But ....

  • Conflict Resolution for Children

    Conflict Resolution
    Let’s face it, conflict is hard and is bound to happen no matter what ground rules are put into place. Whether it’s on the playground or right in our own homes, childrenwill clash. And while it can create challenging situations, it is a normal event that occurs between children. This is why conflict resolution is an essential life skill for them to learn. In order to help them, though, early instruction is key in making this a standard routine during disagreements with others. Often when children
    are involved in conflict, one of two things happen. Either the parent rushes into save their child or the child goes to an adult immediately. And ....

  • Resilience: Helping Children and Teens Build Coping Skills






    Resilience: Helping Children and Teens Build Coping Skills
    Stress is a significant part of our lives today. And while we all experience it, children and teens have a more difficult time managing it. Academic pressure, social tensions, family stressors, etc. all impact a young person’s mental well-being. For this reason, it’s important for parents to help their children develop coping skills by guiding them through tough times instead of jumping in to save them from any discomfort that may come along. Children and teens often present stress as what adults call a meltdown or a tantrum. Psychologists call it “flooding.” This happens when a wave of strong, ....

  • Brain Development for 18 – 36 Months

    Brain Development for 18 – 36 Months
    Healthy brain development is one of the most important aspects of childhood development. More specifically, the first few years of life are a significant time for this because synaptic connections are at a peak level. This is the time when positive and nurturing experiences are vital so that the brain can form strong networks that set the foundation for learning. By understanding the importance of early synaptic connections, parents realized that having their children participate in enriching programs, that assist in this development is worthwhile. Synapses are connections between neurons that transmit signals to each other in the brain. ....

  • Not all Children are the Same

    Not All Children Are The Same All parents want the same thing…for their child to be a positive member of society and experience success. And while these are important things, they often come through a push to achieve and be the best in everything. Unfortunately, this is frequently done through comparing their children to others. This, however, often leads to stress and lower self-esteem in children. What is important to remember is that each child has different strengths and rates at which they develop. Our programs are developed so that children would be placed in a class that met their stage of development. Instead of having a 5-year-old in the same class as a 10-year-old ....

  • The Secret Senses To Better Behavior in our Children

    The Secret Senses To Better Behavior We’ve all heard of the main 5 senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. However, there are two other, very important, senses that don’t get enough attention. Those are the vestibular sense and proprioception. These two senses are vital in the development of a child but are often overlooked, especially in today’s world. This is mostly due to the fact that safety is of the upmost importance for anyone working with children. And while safety is important, the constant lack of “risky play” is contributing to the underdevelopment of these two senses. The vestibular sense is most easily understood as the sense that ....

Hello Mr John,

First of all let me just say that we all love coming here!!!!! The staff is amazing!!!! Every single one!!!!! Coming in thru the doors having Ana or Travis greet us seriously makes us feel welcomed. Thank you! I love the patience, the dedication, and the motivation everyone has and gives these children. Mr. Davis is something else! So much fun, kids are learning so much from him, and of course Mr. Nick is amazing as well. Our 2 boys love it! They have learned so much and still learning of course.  I know if it were up to them they would go every day! They practice so hard at home, and are always excited to learn more! I see the change in them. They are more confident, more outgoing, not as shy as they used to be. We went to their first testing and it was definitely something else! To see the dedication these kids have. Our Boys loved it! They worked really hard to earn their belt. These experiences will stay with them and I know they will help our kids as they grow. It's fun for them but at the same time they know that this training can save them as well. Thank you so much! Again the staff is just incredible!!!! We very happy we chose Krav!

If you want to bring out the BEST in your kid, this is the place! Not only do they teach incredible self defense skills, it's an all around positive way to approach real life skills. My son is doing much better in school & following through at home, he loves the training & has met new friends with similar values. They also have to do well in school & at home in order to gain their achievement to the next belt level. They even instruct different scenarios for the kids to learn respect, courtesy, honesty, integrity - a new theme each month. The kids really look up to the instructors, it's the MOST POSITIVE activity that I can recommend to parents looking for their kids to thrive. And, it's during the week, no weekends (only for test days). My son has dramatically transitioned from being bullied to being very confident & how to handle situations better. He's even said, "I feel so much better at school now when kids are mean - I know how to brush it off, and defend myself, even verbally." LOVE LOVE LOVE Try it out today!!!!!
