Teaching kids fitness, technique, conditioning, and skill
TIGER TOTS 3-4
The Tiger Tots Program is specifically designed for developing children ages 3 and 4 years old. Children in the Tiger Tots program will gain essential skills such as discipline and self-awareness, increased focus and attention span, and stranger awareness and bullying skills. Through the Tiger Tots program, children will gain a stronger sense of confidence, courage, self-esteem, respect, courtesy and much more.
JUNIOR KARATE 5-12
In our Junior Karate program your child will be taught important life skills. Utilizing the mental and emotional tools that enable your child to achieve their highest potential, we encourage them to become completely capable, confident and successful. We teach children how to stand up for themselves, caution and common sense, respect, discipline, and increase confidence and self-esteem. We teach skills by breaking techniques down into smaller components, then building them in a way that allows the child to understand how each component works.

We have started attending Safeguard Martial Arts recently and it has been a wonderful experience! Sensei Troy and Sensei Tina have been amazing with making my son feel welcome and engaged. The classes are dynamic and interesting, with many important takeaways to build strength and confidence in a safe, friendly and kind environment. Very impressed with the care and attention each child gets, and also the strong, kind and positive attitude in which every class is conducted. I highly recommend Safeguards!

An amazing Dojo with excellent instructors. Safeguard was initially recommended to me for my oldest who has ADHD and struggles with impulse control and going here has helped him so much. Both of my boys love Sensei Troy. He is patient and kind and always makes it fun for them. Highly recommend.

Our daughter started a few months ago with Safeguard and she loves it. She enjoys her classes and all of the different techniques they have been teaching her. She really likes her Sensei’s and earning new belts. We have seen other children she goes to school with also grow in the classes and have begun to find ways to channel their excess energy better. Highly recommended.

Troy and Tina operate such a well rounded experience. Our son has been attending since 2017 and has grown in confidence, strength, ability and has found a social connection as well. The Dojo is always clean and well equipped. They teach more than just the martial art. There is also a focus on empathy, knowing wrong from right, plus the importance or community and of perseverance. We would recommend Safeguard to any parent as we also have a deep trust in their commitment to safety as well. The entire team reflects everything previously mentioned. It has been a game changer for our son. We will always be grateful to have discovered this place and the people in it.

I have been attending the kickboxing class offered to teens and adults for about 5 months now after taking the free trial, and the experience has been fantastic. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and have created a learning environment that is welcoming to both beginners and more experienced athletes. Additionally, the monthly fee is incredibly reasonable.My skill and confidence has improved with each class, and by offering classes in the evening, the instructors have allowed me to easily incorporate regular kickboxing into my busy schedule. I would strongly recommend Safeguard Martial Art's kickboxing class to anyone who is interested in improving their physical health, learning fighting techniques from skilled professionals, and building their personal confidence in a meaningful way.

Having been involved in martial arts for 20+ years we have experienced a lot of martial arts schools. We picked safeguard to send both our girls because they value the importance of what happens off of the mats as well as what happens on them. This is a school that builds character and achievement through martial arts. We have not just seen our girls strive in technique and skill but they have grown in confidence and character in leaps and bounds. The school has wonderful instructors and a family operation that truly cares about their students of all ages. We always speak highly of Safeguard and the incredible people who are part of the school. Come see for yourself!

I can’t say enough about what Safeguard Martial arts have done for me. When I started 5 years ago I was a shy 9 year old with very little self confidence and very hard on myself. With the help of Sensei Tina and Sensei Troy I have gained self confidence and I am working on giving back for what I have gotten from them. Safeguard is the place to be and so am happy I found it.

I sought out this dojo as it shared the same core values that my own did when I was younger. My son is now enrolled and enjoying it. Everyday after class he comes out with a smile and says how much fun he's had. Sensei Tina & Sensei Troy, along with the other instructors and students are all very welcoming. I feel I made the right choice enrolling my son in this dojo.

I have a very active child who was struggling with self awareness and impulse control. A friend of mine suggested Safeguard and I am SO thankful every day that she did. This has helped my child so much and he has improved at the dojo, home, and school through their their teachings. All staff and volunteers are welcoming and super friendly, and do not mind the questions that come with this activity. The owners are approachable and I love running into them to have some chit chat. You truly feel like part of the family here. I cannot suggest them enough! Good prices, amazingly reasonable schedules with several options to pick from if your child, or yourself! has other activities.

Fantastic instructor's who actually take the time to train you. Sempai Jacob in particular is quite good at helping you with techniques and explaining why a technique is performed the way it is. Sensei Tina and Troy are very friendly, supportive and strive to get the best out of each student, able to focus on the particular needs of each student. This is a fantastic school for beginners and advanced students alike, as well as people who need/have a more specific need (I.e. fitness, discipline, self-defense, etc...) I for one was originally put into the program as a young kid to give structure and discipline.A few "cons"- Classes can feel a little short for those who are looking for longer workouts or training sessions.- the training area is a little small, at least compared to the older locations for the school- only 3 classes a week for teen/adult classes (as of writing this). Not sure if this just because of Covid but for those beginners looking for more than 3 classes it can feel a little restrictive, especially if you can't attend 1 of the 3 classes.

I looked into a few schools in our area when my son expressed an interest in karate. As soon as I contacted Tina at Safeguard Martial Arts I knew this was going to be a great experience and I wasn't wrong. Everyone at SMA is awesome, the Sensai (s), Instructors, other parents and all the kids. The program is wonderful and my son LOVES going.

Signing up my son with SMA was one of the best decision I ever made. High quality training is designed for students of all age groups. The staff is incredible. They build students up and make them more confident. The instructors are welcoming, experienced and extremely knowledgeable, but most importantly they're great teachers who connect on a personal level. Get a trial class today and you'll stay with SMA forever.

Safeguard has been such a positive experience for our grandson, Kessler Gallichen. They have taken him from a boy that had little confidence in himself to a boy that is so excited about karate and can’t wait to perform what he knows to whoever is interested in watching. I can’t say enough about their discipline, leadership, and ability to make these kids want to do the best they can. Kessler is so excited and focused now and so incredibly proud of himself. I have so much respect for safeguard martial arts. They have made such an incredible difference in Kessler’s life.

You can't beat the personal touch and many great lessons that we have learned, on top of the karate and defense skills. I've been taking my son for almost four years now and more than once have received advice too. These are the life lessons all children should learn and watching the great Sempai's and Sensei's interact with the kids is awesome.

I just cannot say enough that would truly express how much we love this karate school. Safeguard Martial Arts has been a huge part of my sons life, his family’s life for the past 9 years. Under the professional guidance of the team, at Safeguard Martial Arts, I have watched my little boy grow into an amazing young man who developed confidence, friendships, an amazing fitness level, social, leadership and karate skills, commitment, perseverance, determination and dedication to something he gives his whole heart to. This largely has to do with the leadership, mentoring and management team at Safeguard Martial Arts who helped build that love, that trust, a strong relationship through unwavering support and training that incorporates the foundations of learning karate with fun. Lots of fun - and hard work. We are honored to be a part of this school of training - this team of professionals, to be a part of this family.

The experience I've had with this dojo in the past two years has been life changing. This dojo is like my family everyone is constantly wanting one another to succeed and get better both mentally and physically. This isn't just a school that teaches speed and power, but more importantly helps build character, confidence, and a positive mindset. All things that can be translated to make a positive impact on your life. I would recommend Safeguard to all my friends and family, and anyone trying to make a positive difference in their life!

Most caring group of people you will ever meet! Not just a group of instructors but a family that cares about you and your success. Safeguard has literally changed my life and kickstarted my fitness career, going from barely doing 1 push-up to 50 in a minute. Fun for all ages! Can't imagine where I'd be without this dojo.

My experience at this dojo has far surpassed any other school in the lower main land that I have visited and trained at. It has by far the best structure, environment, and instructors that a place could offer. As an adult joining something like this it gives you the joy of doing something different and keeps you out of the stale gym rythm with the addiction to wanna go 5 days a week. I have the utmost respect for all the teachers because without them I wouldn't have grown into the person that I am today which is happy, confident, and respectful. I can't ever repay them back the hard work and time they devote into me on a regular basis. Without a doubt join this dojo

Out of the few dojos I have been to safeguard has to be the best. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient and caring towards each individual regardless of their skill level. Throughout my time here my level of confidence has been boosted and I have learned tonnes about martial arts and its applications in the real world. I have not had a negative experience training at this dojo and would recommend it to people of all ages and athletic ability. The instructors are great at working around the specific needs of individuals and creating a safe family environment.
