San Yama RyuKids & Family
The Water Path · Skills lead
Every San Yama student trains all four elements of the mon. Young students lead with water: skills built through training and practice.
The Water Path · Kids & Family · Ages 3–18
Real martial arts, taught with care. Kids build the focus, confidence and discipline that carry into school, sports and everything else, one earned belt at a time.
Daytime martial arts for homeschool families: structured physical education, a steady group of peers, and a life-saving skill set your kids will use for good.
Our first daytime group for homeschool families:
The mon holds four elements. Every student trains all four, and young students lead with water: skills built patiently, until confidence is who they are.
Water shapes stone through repetition. Kids practice the fundamentals until they are second nature, and confidence follows the skill.
Listening, focus and showing up ready. Every class starts with a bow.
Standing up for others and never quitting. Teens begin training it directly.
Options: words first, then distance, then skills.
Each level has its own standards, matched to what kids that age can safely and joyfully do.
Listening, balance, coordination and safe falling, taught through play.
Little Ones program →Focus, respect and first self-defense skills. Anti-bullying in every class.
Juniors program →Throws, escapes and conditioning. Eligible for the competition team.
Youth program →Practical self-defense and leadership, with a direct path into the adult art.
Teens program →A structured path where every rank is earned. Water first; fire when they're ready.
Little Ones: listening, balance, safe falling
Focus, escapes, anti-bullying
Throws, conditioning, line-up matches
Fire is introduced: practical self-defense
Kempo, jujutsu, taijutsu modules
Weapons, traditional & modern
Interschool tournaments and traditional line-up matches, where endurance and technique count more than trophies.
One membership for the household: siblings, parents, or both. Parents can train in the adult art while the kids train theirs.
Homework time, then straight into training.
Straight answers about safety, structure and what to expect.
Every level follows age-specific standards, and every instructor is trained in them. Contact is controlled and supervised, and kids learn to fall safely first.
We teach the opposite: stay calm, use your words first, and use skills only to protect yourself or someone else.
We offer individual and family memberships with no long contracts. We'll go over options at your trial class.
Come watch, meet the instructors, and let your child try a class. Youth classes run Monday, Friday and Saturday.
Every youth class is built on San Yama Ryu Bujutsu, a complete adult art of functional protection taught by certified masters. Water first. Fire when you're ready.
