...A few months before his 12th birthday, my son earned his blackbelt. This achievement has filled him with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Now a teenager, I am so proud of the young man he has become - one who is a good citizen, has a healthy self esteem, practices leadership and discipline, and understands how setting and achieving goals leads to success. I credit the training in martial arts that he receives from FEAR KNOT as playing a significant role in who he is becoming as a person. For my husband and me, it is a challenge and an investment that is priceless, and one that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to see their sons or daughters succeed in life.” Tracey Yasi – Elizabethtown |
Dear Parent,
I know, you’re probably thinking that’s a pretty ambitious statement. You're
probably also asking yourself, “How will martial arts training help my
child”? Well, I’ll tell you how.
My name is Keith Wilkes and I often hear these kinds of stories from the parents of our students. As the founder of FEAR KNOT Martial Arts For Kidz, my goal has been to expose as many as possible to the life changing benefits of martial arts training. Since opening our first school in 1998, our instructors have nurtured children just like yours using the tools found only in martial arts.
Specializing in children’s character development, our programs were specifically designed for the stages of development of 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 - 9 and 10 - 12 year olds.

In our schools, any technical martial arts training for our younger students is very limited when it comes to traditional moves and techniques. We reserve that portion of development for the older children who have a clear foundation of what we consider the preliminary requirements to martial arts training. These foundations are laid out in our children’s programs.
That’s why it may appear that our students aren’t learning enough martial arts in class, but the fact is they really are. Discipline is the foundation of martial arts. This includes standing at attention when commanded, responding with respect by saying “yes sir” and “yes ma’am”, bowing to the flags and each other and maintaining a positive attitude. With professional martial artists as the role-model instructors, and the mixture of fun games and activities with basic kicks, strikes, and blocks during class, a child’s first exposure to martial arts training will generate results!
Sarah has always been very quiet and reserved – Definitely not a risk taker. I was looking for something to help her out of that “shell”. The classes and instructors at FEAR KNOT have definitely helped boost her confidence. Although she’s still quiet, she’s starting to make new friends and take risks. She truly loves her classes and never wants to miss them. FEAR KNOT does a great job of recognizing individual needs and differences. They help each child grow in the areas that they need help in the most. They genuinely seem to care about each individual child.” Nadine Mazur - Lancaster |
Discipline, self control and confidence are the three most common areas parents are looking for improvement in their children. And what parent wouldn’t? These three areas are the cornerstone of a life of success and happiness. A disciplined child becomes a disciplined adult. A child who learns to control their behavior is more likely to not get caught up in the problems plaguing many teenagers and young adults these days. A child who gains confidence is able to stand up for themselves and not be swayed by peer pressure into destructive behavior.
Remember, its not just about kicking, punching and blocking. FEAR KNOT Martial Arts For Kidz teaches character development. A short time after beginning classes, we’ve found that our students typically improve their ability to focus, their grades and their behavior. But don’t just take my word for it. Your chance to find out what really goes on at FEAR KNOT Martial Arts For Kidz is to stop by and check out a class for yourself.
Come and see for yourself how our programs will change your child forever.

“The past two years at FEAR KNOT have provided for my son a real improvement in his formerly poor physical coordination. His self-discipline is also significantly better. He has more control of himself physically and mentally. When he slacks off in some area in life I always ask him "is this how you behave at FEAR KNOT?" FEAR KNOT has given him a securely anchored, disciplined area of his life. I use that to extend self-control into other parts of his life. It's working. By the way, he's also had fun and made friends. |

All this comes while learning to “kick, block and punch.” But what really happens is your child’s biggest challenge won’t come from learning how to beat up the neighborhood bully or throw that perfect kick. Instead it’ll come from the most destructive force in your child’s life; self doubt and their own fears.
It’s the internal message they repeat to themselves every day:
“I’m not good enough.”
“I don’t deserve to be happy.”
“I’ll never be able to do this.”
“Nobody likes me.”
The question for you is, how can you help your child overcome their doubts and fears, and, even if you could, their own self-doubt to simply ask you for help?
Well, I have the answer for you. The solution has been proven time after time at FEAR KNOT Martial Arts For Kidz. They are lessons your child can learn quicker and easier than you think.
The solutions are contained in our Children’s Character Development Programs. The programs that focus on developing a student’s ability to handle today’s challenges with the tools taught in each and every class. Let me repeat myself:
Martial Arts training isn’t just about learning to kick, block and punch.
Its about personal development; learning how to overcome the challenges every child faces today; developing the ability to overcome their internal fears; unleashing that powerful, unstoppable force within them.
This strength will give your child the ability to become the goal oriented, driven to succeed, successful, happy adult you want them to be. This is what FEAR KNOT Martial Arts For Kidz’ programs can do for your child!
