Martial Arts Skillastics® (GFF14)

Bring the excitement of martial arts into your program – without the needs for belts, sparring, or complex equipment.  Martial Arts Skillastics offers a safe, cooperative way for kids to explore martial arts movements while staying active, building confidence, and learning valuable life lessons.

Each session wraps up with online “Mat Chats” – short, engaging conversations that tie directly to the activities and reinforce positive character development, just like the online mindfulness lessons in Character is Cool Skillastics.  Together, movement and reflection create a meaningful experience that benefits both body and mind.

Why It’s a Must-Have:

• Unlimited, Lifetime Access – Including ongoing access to curriculum, activity videos, lesson plans, and “Mat Chat” resources you can use year after year.
• Safe & Accessible – No sparring or contact – just developmentally appropriate martial arts movements that all kids can enjoy.
• Mind & Body Connection – “Mat Chats” help kids reflect, learn life lessons, and tie character values to physical activity.
• Maximum Participation – Engages large groups while ensuring every student is actively involved. 
• Builds Strength & Confidence – Encourages focus, discipline, respect, and teamwork through fun martial arts-inspired movements.
• Standards-Aligned – Meets National PE & HEPA After School Standards for easy integration.
