Frequently Asked Questions
We try to answer the most common questions for parents and
children.
No way! In fact, martial arts makes kids calmer and more respectful than ever. Martial arts always has been about peace, and it always will be.
As a parent, I'm sure you've seen that kids can get injured doing just about anything. Martial arts is no different, however we take safety very seriously here. Yes, injuries do sometimes happen. But we do everything in our power to avoid them. We do special exercises and stretches to make your child's body limber and flexible.
Absolutely. Martial Arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities grow them even more.
Any sport or form of exercise comes with a risk of injury. However, there are a few things that make our program very safe. It's because of these few things that we barely see any injuries with our program.
Stretching: At the beginning of every class we go through a series of stretches. These stretches get your muscles and joints ready and warmed up for exercise.
Supervision: Every class is supervised by trained, licensed professionals. We watch carefully to make sure no student is doing anything in a dangerous or unsafe way.
In short, we place a tremendous amount of focus on fun and safety. It's because of this that we feel confident telling you that while there is risk for injury with our program - it's a very small risk.
People come to us of all fitness levels. We get natural-born athletes, and we get people who have a harder time with athletic endeavors. However, everyone gets the same focus and attention.
If you're not in great shape, don't worry. Go at your own pace, and we'll do everything we can to help you learn each and every technique. Soon enough, your physical fitness will improve, and you'll be in better shape than ever!
Having been in martial arts for a number of years before moving to Aurora, finding a good school for my family to train together at was extremely important to me. I am so thankful that my family has found not only an outstanding martial arts school, but also essentially an “extended family.” Eagle Academy has opportunities for every age and every level, and is something that the whole family can take part in.
The instructors are not only extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, but they truly care about each and every student, helping them build self-discipline, focus, and physical skills while at the same time having fun doing it. In each class, we sweat, we smile, and we learn.
With the onset of the COVID-19 virus, Master Treacy immediately provided opportunities for students to still participate in class daily via Zoom as well as a take-it-at-your-own-pace course on Canvas Instructure. It has been such a blessing!
We are very lucky to be a part of the Eagle family!
When our world was turned upside down by the pandemic, Eagle Academy turned right away to technology to continue to bring karate training to all of us. The online classes have been wonderful for keeping our family moving, learning, and connected to our training. It is a great way to stay connected when so isolated at home, physically challenged and engaged, and it has kept us and our kids active all these weeks.
My son loves it here and so do I. Teaches very great, valuable lessons. I appreciate all the staff and Master J does a tremendous job with his students!
Master Tracy and all the masters are fantastic and very friendly. They don't only teach martial arts, but they also teach life skills to kids and good attitude.
My daughter started there 7 years ago and I started 4 years ago. The classes are great with focus on attitude and learning at all levels.
