Why Consider Martial Arts For your Child?
Don and Theresa Wideman, parents of two children and owners of Black Belt America, created a unique martial arts system for family members from age 3 to adult. In addition to learning exciting physical martial arts skills, students can excel in a variety of enriching experiences such as Leadership, Performance, and Competition teams.
Black Belt America’s programs are built on a strong foundation of eight values that students apply daily, both in and outside of the martial arts classroom.
