Programs at Somerset / 01

A program for every age — starting at 18 months.

Five age-specific programs, each built for exactly where your kid is right now.

Every program runs at our Somerset studio. Pick your kid’s age — we’ll take it from there.

The journey / 02

White belt to black belt.

Every stripe is a milestone you’ll watch happen in real life — earned, never handed out.

  1. White Belt Day one

    The journey starts. Bowing in, listening, the very first stance.

  2. Yellow Belt ~Month 3

    First real techniques land. The shy kid starts raising their hand.

  3. Orange Belt ~Month 6

    Combinations click. Focus that parents notice at home.

  4. Green Belt ~Year 1

    Real control. Helping newer kids without being asked.

  5. Blue Belt ~Year 1.5

    Sparring with composure. Losing well and trying again.

  6. Purple Belt ~Year 2

    Leadership shows up. The kid other kids look to.

  7. Brown Belt ~Year 3

    Mastery of the basics. Quiet, earned confidence.

  8. Red Belt ~Year 3.5

    The final stretch before black. Mentoring the room.

  9. Black Belt ~Year 4+

    Not the end — the standard they now carry everywhere.

Inside a Warrior class / 03

Forty-five minutes, start to finish.

Nervous about the first class? Here’s exactly what happens from the moment your kid bows in.

01

Bow-In

Class opens with respect. Shoes off, focus on. Every kid greeted by name.

02

Warm-Up

Movement that’s secretly skill — listening, coordination, and a lot of energy out.

03

Technique

A real move broken into small wins — a clean front kick, a sharp block.

04

Pads & Partners

Controlled contact on pads. Power with control, never on each other.

05

Challenge

A game-like round that hides the reps — they’re working hard and grinning.

06

Mat Chat

A 2-minute lesson that travels home: respect, effort, trying again. Then high-fives out.

Every class runs 45 minutes — start to finish, the same structure your kid can count on.

Questions Somerset parents ask.

Where is the Somerset studio?

We’re at 34 Worlds Fair Drive, Building 1G, Somerset, NJ 08873 — serving Somerset, Franklin Township, New Brunswick, Bridgewater, Bound Brook, and nearby. Free parking and easy to reach.

What age can my child start martial arts?

As young as 18 months. Our Mighty Warriors class (18 months–2) is parent-on-the-mat and play-based, and kids grow through Mini (3–4), Rising (5–6), Warriors (7–9), and Leaders (10–11). Most schools start at 4 or 5 — we built a real path for the littlest ones.

Do you offer a free class?

Yes. Your kid’s first class is free — a private 45-minute session with a head coach, including a real technique and their first board break. It’s the easiest way to see if Warrior is the right fit before you decide anything.

Is taekwondo or karate better for kids?

Both build confidence, focus, and discipline — the style matters less than the coaching. Warrior teaches a taekwondo and kickboxing-based striking curriculum built specifically for kids: real techniques, age-appropriate classes, and head coaches who know every kid by name.

Is martial arts good for kids with ADHD?

It can really help. Martial arts pairs structured movement with self-regulation — a 2022 University of Surrey study found 11 weeks of taekwondo improved kids’ attention and self-control. Our coaches are used to high-energy kids and turn that energy into focus, one short win at a time.

Will martial arts help with bullying and confidence?

Yes — and usually without a single fight. Kids who stand tall, make eye contact, and carry calm confidence get targeted far less. We teach boundaries and de-escalation first; the goal is a kid who almost never needs to use it.
