Childrens Classes
Building Confidence,
Self-Esteem and Discipline
We teach age appropriate classes to children starting at age 4. We know the most important training we impart to kids is not how to fight, but how to overcome the success limiting behaviors and obstacles they experience in their daily lives.
Our unique program includes 26 important Life Skill homework assignments that teach the kind of skills, as parents, we want to impress upon our kids. Our training methods are proven over decades of success.
What Parents Say About Our Classes
When you decide to work with The Silent Mind, you will be getting so much more out of your learning experience. We have been a leading Twinsburg area Martial Arts School since 2004, and have grown our service offerings with each passing year. Check out all of the amazing opportunities we provide to your family below.
"I wanted to take a moment to recognize Sensei Tim Loomis and The Silent Mind for the changes I have seen in my son who is 11 years old. He was in dire need of self-confidence and discipline before he started to take classes. I discussed these issues with Sensei Tim and he assured me that this would help. I am here to say that in just 8 months of being a part of The Silent Mind I have seen dramatic improvements in both areas as well as his school work. Thank you for making a big difference in my son’s life." – Gib Pallay
"My child came into this class with some anger issues and lack of self-confidence. After many months of class and wonderful patience through Sensei Tim, my son has learned self-control and feels good about everything he does. I’ve watched him grow and mature and become part of a new family in which all the kids are growing and learning together." – Lisa Louthan
Lil' Dragons
(4-7 year olds with parent)
Our experience shows that martial art training for young children helps them as they grow in future mental and physical endeavors. Our training develops your child’s ability to listen and follow directions; hand/eye coordination; and balance, strength, and flexibility. This is a parent and child class. One parent must accompany the child in class, and parents may switch off if necessary.
We are not a tournament or sport martial art school. We don’t believe the competitive environment is best for your child’s personal development. We believe in always finding the “win-win” in every situation.
Your child’s time with us is an investment in their future. It’s been said that self esteem is the key to a successful future for our children. Our curriculum teaches this and many more important life skills. Through age-appropriate homework assignments (see example) your child will practice respect, thankfulness, anger management, community service, and accepting responsibility. You’ll see your child’s self esteem and self-confidence build as they perfect their martial skills and progress in rank towards Black Belt.
Our program develops your child’s body and mind to take peaceful action in any situation. We teach that martial artists use their heads before they use their hands and feet. We teach self-defense with self-control.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
(8-13 year olds)
Kids love learning and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The class focuses on what happens when a confrontation goes to the ground. Over 75% of kids scuffles end up on the ground. This program teaches how to subdue the other child without resorting to damaging strikes or kicks. Students learn how to gain and hold the superior position while containing the aggression of the other child. It is truly a wonder to see even the smallest or weakest child contain a bigger, stronger opponent.
The program is a great physical workout while being a superb confidence and self-esteem builder.

AboutFace Goshin Jujutsu
(8-13 year olds)
Kids are faced with all kinds of confrontational situations with friends, siblings, at school, and at play. A child’s first impulse is to strike back either verbally or physically in response to a challenge of their will, their ego, or their person. This class teaches kids how to overcome these situations with confidence and proven non-fighting conflict resolution tactics. The kids learn that martial artists use their heads before they use their hands and feet. Though a last resort, the kids are taught how to physically defend themselves using non-damaging martial self-defense maneuvers.
