The Tutoring Center was developed at the request of parents wanting an alternative to the typical after care environment. The objective of the Tutoring Martial Arts Program is to create a fun and safe experience every afternoon after school that encourages children to build good relationships, learn martial arts, and demonstrate responsibility by completing their homework assignments.
The children are continuously supervised with adult counselors who provide activity supervision, and Blackbelt Instructors who teach the martial arts classes. All on-site activities are conducted indoors and children are divided into smaller groups at the appropriate times. The daily routine is punctual and organized. Parents can concentrate on their job with the peace of mind that their children are having fun after school, making good use of their time, and staying healthy from the exercise.
Ultimately, the children will become Blackbelt Leaders and role models. The martial arts curriculum is comprehensive. If your child is attending an after care program now, then usually enrolling in our Tutoring Center is more affordable. Instead of paying tuition for after care, at another location, and then paying tuition again for evening martial arts classes, you can have your after school needs and martial arts lessons combined together. Then, evenings can be saved for quality family time and eliminate the stress of having to manage dinner, homework, evening activities, and bed time schedules.

The Smash Gyms Kids Martial Arts Program can and WILL help your child increase their confidence, self-esteem, discipline, while teaching them life skills that will last them a lifetime! In our program your child will be able to progress at their very own pace. We understand that everyone learns differently. Whether your child can only train once a week or everyday we have the program that will fit your needs. All Smash kids instructor have full background checks and are eager to help students learn and develop. Everyday, approximately 150,000 kids miss school due to fear or intimidation of bullies. Unfortunately, this is happening to children as young as kindergarten age. Not only can bullying lead to low confidence and self-esteem issues, but it also causes children to dislike school at one of the most impressionable times in their lives. Can you imagine how it would feel to go to work every single day and be afraid for your own safety and well being?
Many kids have that same feeling while going to school every day. How can we expect children to focus well on their academics when they are under such stress? While parents may expect the teachers to intervene, the increasing statistics in bullying over the years is a clear sign that school administration is not or cannot resolve the problem. You can absolutely do something to stop or prevent this from happening to your child. Give your child the ability to stand up for him or herself. Bullies prey on those who they perceive as weak. Training martial arts can give your child the real confidence to hold their head up high and not act like someone who is an easy target. In a vast majority of situations, that aura of confidence alone will cause bullies to stay away.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Due to the fact that control is generally easier on the ground than in a standing position, much of the technique of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is centered round the skill of taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for dominant control positions from where the opponent can be rendered harmless. To control and overcome greater size, strength and aggression with lesser size and strength is the keynote of the sport. This is done by utilizing superior leverage, grip and position upon your opponent. Students of the sport gain a deep understanding of the workings and limits of the human body. This knowledge can be used to subdue and control an opponent with whatever level of severity the student chooses. The path to this knowledge is physically and mentally demanding. Students benefit from greatly increased physical fitness, problem-solving ability, self-knowledge of their body and mind and the many social benefits of working within a large group of like-minded fellow students as you learn and have fun together.
Many students first learn about Jiu-Jitsu through the great popularity of mixed martial arts (MMA) competition, where Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique is very prominent. Indeed, the beginnings of the contemporary MMA competition were largely tied up with proving the combat-efficiency of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a sport, however, is strongly separated from MMA. Daily classes do not feature kicking or punching. The focus is on safe grappling technique that can be done on a daily basis with no more fear of injury than any other contact sport." - John Danaher, BJJ Black Belt.

In the early 90’s MMA was called NHB (no-holds barred) or Vale Tudo. Fights were style vs style. Promoters would match up Tae Kwon Do vs Judo or Kung Fu vs Boxing. Very few people cross-trained other styles, coaches or camps. There were no weight classes and events were a spectacle.
From the spectacle a sport emerged. MMA added weight classes and became sanctioned by athletic commissions. Olympic level athletes began dominating and the while learning technique and skills from martial artist and combat sport veterans. People quickly learned which theories on techniques and training methods were sound and which were fraud.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is now one of the fastest growing sports in the world. As a sport it has offered a platform to athletes of many different backgrounds to show case and test their skills in events in virtually every country. Because of technology information has become easier to exchange and people in every corner of the world have access to top quality instruction and training methods.
Virtually all Top level MMA fighters do not have one coach that teaches them everything. If you want to truly learn a subject you need to see an authority on the matter. To combine kicks and punches at the highest level you need to find a kickboxing coach. To learn to stop or execute a takedown you need to study wrestling and judo. You simply will not be able to execute or defend against those willing to do it. If you want to apply or prevent submissions you should take BJJ classes.
Mixed Martial Arts has become a proving ground for martial arts techniques and training methods. Many theories on technique and fighting have become disproven and the reality of work actually works in live conditions have become obvious. It has become painfully obvious which theories and methods in martial arts are efficient and which were legit.
This is why Smash Gyms offers a variety of martial arts classes all taught by experts in that subject! BJJ classes are taught by BJJ Blackbelts, MMA classes are taught by pro-fighters and veteran trainers, Boxing classes are taught by pro-boxers, Wrestling classes are taught by D1 Wrestlers and State Champions!
We invite you to step into the world of an expert and learn directly from the source. Many instructors are merely passing on 2nd or 3rd hand information from people that have never executed the move in live situations. Smash members get to become well rounded through learning from subject matter experts that have executed the techniques thousands of times.
Smash Gyms offers Judo classes for Men, Women, and Children of all fitness and experience levels. Classes are taught by expert Judo Black Belts! Judo is an amazing grappling art that can when properly executed in one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring martial arts. Judo teaches practitioners to not only control their own body at a high level but it also teaches students to control another person's body and balance in way that few other arts can compare to.
Judo is not only a highly effective martial art but also a Olympic sanctioned sport. Our classes help prepare people with a variety of goals. Smash Judo students are often interested in Judo for a variety of reasons. Whether you want to learn judo for the martial arts, self-defense, Judo competition or even to compliment other martial arts such as BJJ, Wrestling or MMA training our classes will help you progressing safely and quickly.
