Ernie Reyes' West Coast World Martial Arts of Morgan Hill

If you feel your child could use more physical activity, then you’re not alone. Many of today’s kids spend hours in front of TV’s, video games, and computer screens. As a result, few children get the level of activity they need to get and stay healthy.
Martial Arts can provide a much-needed physical boost. Kids of all ages improve their balance, coordination and motor skills. They also improve flexibility, strength and endurance, skills that will help them in other sports and make them more confident in their abilities.
Our mission is teaching kids to grow up into productive adults. Our goal is to ensure they learn respect and to stay focused. From the very first class, your child will learn the importance of eye contact, posture, and active listening skills that will benefit them not only in Martial Arts but in the home, on the playground and of course in school.
Teachers and parents have often noticed a difference in children who study the martial arts. Martial Arts students have an easier time staying on task, are more disciplined when it comes to homework and able to control the fidgeting and distracting habits that often take other children off track.
Martial Arts will provide your child with plenty of challenges and the tools to overcome them. You’ll be amazed at the difference just a few months of lessons will make in the way your child will feel about themselves and their abilities.
The secret is our use of positive recognition. We will provide plenty of praise and positive feedback in every class to encourage students and to motivate effort. Our belt system gives students mini-goals to strive for and teaches kids the power of goal-setting. Special events such as belt testing and tournaments give students an opportunity to perform in front of others enhancing their self confidence and self-esteem.
