Laughlin Martial Arts

Laughlin Martial Arts is dedicated to the success of our students in all aspects of their lives. Martial arts have benefits for every age group, many are obvious and some are not so much, the following are just a few of the benefits for different age groups.
For children we teach them how to defend against the common threats from bullies. We don’t do this for them to fight the bully, but instead to give them the confidence to know that there is nothing that the bully can do that they can’t defend, and this gives our students the confidence to stand up straight, to look the bully in the eyes and not be perceived as an easy target. This is what we mean by learn how to deal with bullies without the use of force.
For teenagers our focus is on building the confidence needed not to give into peer pressure, how to make the right decision, even when it is not the easy one, and an understanding of the rewards that you earn when taking the right path. This is done by helping to choose goals, both long term, and short term, and working hard to achieve them.
For adults it’s all about health, conditioning, and competition. There is nothing better to keep us from aging than to train and compete. There is also the improved focus that helps us in every aspect of our lives. You may be a little soar for the first two weeks after starting, but after that you will feel better than you have in years.
For Senior’s we offer tai chi that improves balance to reduce the risk of falls, as well as offering low impact strength and cardio.
