Programs

Martial arts is about more than learning how to kick, punch, or defend yourself. It gives kids, teens, and adults an opportunity to build confidence, develop discipline, stay active, and challenge themselves in new ways.

At National Karate MMA, we teach reality-based martial arts with practical skills designed for real-world situations. Our training combines structure, encouragement, and effective self-defense while helping students develop focus, perseverance, awareness, and confidence.

Whether you’re looking for a positive activity for your child, practical self-defense skills, or a new challenge for yourself, our martial arts programs in Summerville are designed to help students become more confident, capable, and prepared both inside and outside the dojo.

Our Lil Ninjas program is an age specific curriculum designed to teach children important life skills in a safe, fun, and exciting environment. To keep our students motivated and engaged, our teaching style uses games and activities to disguise the lessons we teach; we refer to this as “edutainment.” Our skills and drills are designed to enhance focus and coordination in order to develop self-control, confidence, and social skills.

The Mighty Dragons program takes the fun to the next level, helping children build basic motor skills, self-discipline, and confidence. Classes encourage positive interaction with peers their own age and promote good behavior both on and off the mats. It’s the perfect balance of structure, skill- building, and fun to keep kids motivated as they grow.

Our classes for ages 8 – 12 are designed to challenge students both physically and mentally while keeping training fun and rewarding. At this stage, kids are introduced to more structure and technique, focusing on self-defense, discipline, and confidence. Students build strong martial arts fundamentals in both striking and grappling while also learning perseverance, teamwork, and leadership skills. It’s the perfect program for kids who are ready to push themselves and grow both on and off the mats.

Our Samurais After School program gives parents peace of mind knowing their child has a structured and positive place to spend the afternoon. We provide school pickup, homework time, martial arts classes, games, and more. Kids can get their homework done, stay active, and have fun with friends while parents finish their day.

Keep your child active, engaged, and having fun all summer long! Samurais Summer Camp is packed with martial arts, games, activities, field trips, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends.

Our goal is to give kids a fun and exciting summer while providing parents with a program they can feel good about. Every week brings something new to enjoy!
