Martial Arts School in Sandy

About our programs
Over the last 29 years we have created hundreds of confident leaders.
To a Caring Parent,
Hi, my name is Brett Lechtenberg
For nearly three decades, our martial arts program has been more than just kicks and punches—it’s been a leadership factory, shaping the lives of hundreds of young people right here in our community.
Over the last 29 years, we’ve watched shy kids grow into confident leaders, unsure beginners become inspiring role models, and ordinary students develop the discipline, respect, and drive to achieve extraordinary goals.
Every class is a step toward building not only stronger bodies, but stronger character—preparing our students to lead in school, at home, and in life with confidence and integrity.

Kids need more than just screen time and homework. Our youth club programs in Sandy give children aged 4-17 a place to grow, learn, and have real fun. From epic birthday parties where your child becomes the hero of their own martial arts adventure, to summer camps that keep kids active and engaged during school breaks, we create experiences that build character.
Parents love our anti-bullying workshops because we teach kids how to handle difficult situations with confidence, not aggression.

Working parents need to know their kids are safe, supervised, and doing something positive after school. Our after school program in Sandy combines quality childcare with martial arts instruction, homework help, and character development.
But after just a few weeks of martial arts, this is what happens…
Clear Focus
In martial arts, we have kids do one thing at a time. For younger kids, and kids with severe ADD, they may only do one thing for 30 seconds – but for that 30 seconds that's all they focus on.
Then, the better and better they get at focusing, the longer we have them focus for. Eventually, kids might focus the entire session on just one exercise or activity.
And they never get bored or antsy.
Before you know it, they do this at home too. They focus on their homework… on their chores… on conversations with you… and anything else they put their mind to.
Determined to Succeed
From Day 1 in martial arts your child sets goals and accomplishes them. The more and more he does this – the more ambitious he becomes.
Eventually, he learns to set higher goals – and he learns to go after them with everything he's got.
He learns that fulfillment and respect are earned through completing challenges.
Because of this, kids who go through martial arts are much more likely to succeed later in life as well. A recent study showed that 63% of black belts become college graduates!
They then go on to live wonderful, fulfilling lives. And then they pass these principles onto their own children.
Self-Respect
When it comes to bullies, kids in martial arts don't back down. They have the confidence to look a bully in the eyes, and stand their ground.
This is what nearly always happens…
The bully gets scared and backs down!
It happens 9 times out of 10. And for the 1 time out of 10 the bully doesn't back down – your child has the tools to defend himself. And if necessary, he'll be able to get away, and seek out an authority figure.
Most confrontations can be talked through. Occasionally, however, words aren't enough. For either situation your child will be prepared.
No one will be able to hurt him, or take anything away from him.
Completing Tasks the First Time He's Asked
In martial arts, we have just a few simple rules. One of those rules is that when your child is asked to do something – they do it the first time. Without being asked again.
We never yell at kids, or scold them, if they don't do this. But every kid does it because he sees the other kids in the class doing it too. And he wants to make friends and be a part of the group.
It's usually a matter of a couple weeks before kids start doing this at home, too. I can't tell you how many parents have thanked me profusely when it starts to happen.
For parents of children who have a hard time following directions – this is truly a blessing.
Finally Paying Attention
Parents of children with attention problems breathe sighs of relief after just a few short weeks.
That's because in martial arts – we teach kids to look people in the eyes when they're being spoken to. We teach them that this is how you show people you're listening, and paying attention.
After just a few short weeks, kids naturally begin doing this at home. And in school.
Parents and teachers often look at each other with wide-eyes when they reflect on the changes. They can't believe how much better their children pay attention.
- Weight loss
It's easy these days for kids to not exercise. As a result, many children experience weight problems at a young age.
- Martial Arts is an amazing form of exercise
Our child will be active the entire time. But there's no pressure on him to do anything he can't.
We'll encourage him to do his best – but this isn't boot camp or anything. ;-)
Most importantly, students have a ton of fun
