most frequently questions and answers about our martial arts programs

Does Martial Arts Training Ever Turn Kids Into Bullies?
Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Bonita Springs kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!
What ages do we teach?

We offer classes for ages 3 and up—including adults—with programs tailored to each age group’s developmental needs. For more details, select your child’s age under the "Programs" menu.

Should Parents Stay And Watch?
That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Bonita Springs martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.
Do I Need To Be Fit For This?
No way! Some folks come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Bonita Springs kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.
How Long Until I Get My Black Belt?
There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness.

It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out.

And our instructors here at Fighting Phoenix Martial Arts Academy Bonita Springs are committed to you every step.

What Do I Need To Bring To My First Martial Arts Lesson?
For your first martial arts class here at Fighting Phoenix Martial Arts Academy in Bonita Springs you’ll only need a few things: comfy clothes, a water bottle, and an open mind.

It’s perfectly natural to be nervous your first time too. Happens to everyone! As soon as you see how kind and welcoming our community here is, that will disappear.

I'm Not Very Sporty Or Coordinated, Will That Be A Problem?
Not at all! Bonita Springs men, women, and children of all fitness levels come to us, whether it’s for kids or adult martial arts. Come as you are!

Some of our top students were unfit and uncoordinated at first. Now they’re performing techniques they never dreamed possible. The confidence they gained realizing what they were capable of is the biggest gift of the process.

All you have to do is show up. We’ll take care of the rest.

Fighting Phoenix Martial Arts Academy is noted to have one of the best instructors who has won national championships and taught students to do the same over the years. It is a fantastic place for children and adults to train in many different martial arts techniques for self-defense, and to get their body into great shape, to feel better and do better in life. I highly recommend this martial arts academy if you are considering this type of activity for you or your child.
