Martial Arts are Great for Children
Parents today are recognizing that the public school system is not enough. Millions of parents are bringing martial arts, as we teach here, into their children’s lives to supplement their education.
Carleton University, in a study reported in Psychology Today (January 1985), found that children in martial arts have a lower level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of self-esteem; higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be radical.
Parents report these five important benefits their children in our school experience:

Our reward system improves children’s self-esteem
Martial arts are not like team sports because the emphasis is on developing the individual’s self-esteem not the team’s winning record. The belt system is the key. When kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.
Our program teaches children discipline
One of the things parents appreciate most about our classes is the improvement in their child’s self-discipline. We have a wonderful staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.

Our activities channel children’s aggression
Many doctors actually prescribed our school for treatment because of the positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.
Our confidence classes enhance children’s self-esteem
We believe confidence is one of the most important things we can give kids. That’s why every class we teach has confidence-building drills included.

Our program teaches children essential self-defense skills
Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home and try them on their sister, or neighbor.

“This is an awesome club. I have many years invested in several martial arts. After visiting and observing all of the schools in and near Tigard I selected OMA for our son to study. No regrets. It is a great facility, well cared for and the instruction is top flight. If you want to learn Hollywood showboating this is not your place. For real self defense and a good workout in a safe and friendly environment you will be hard pressed to find better in the state.”- Duke

“I can’t say enough about Sean Haley and his school Oregon Martial Arts . Having moved from Colorado and a wonderful school there, I was very particular on which school my son Aiden would attend. We wanted a mix of martial arts, someone who understood Aiden (he is missing his right hand) and would not only work his left side, but help with therapy on his right arm. We were in search of something more than just a martial arts school. We found it! Even better!”
“Oregon Martial Arts teaches discipline while having fun. Sean’s teaching methods include a variety of martial arts disciplines. Not just the kicking and punching, but jiu-jitsu and takedowns. He takes the basics and adds a little at a time so the student really understand ‘why’ they are doing a particular combo. He puts every teaching opportunity to ‘real life’ scenarios. He has has a knack of being tough and demanding respect all the while the kids love to work hard for him and genuinely enjoy the classes. A very good balance of competition and fun.”
“Oregon Martial Arts is the best school Aiden has attended. Sean has given Aiden confidence, he as shown our family courtesy and the professionalism he shows in his business and personal life overflow into his into his teachings.”
“I highly recommend Oregon Martial Arts for children and adults.”
