Youth and Family Development through Martial Arts

MAYi's goal is to provide those youth of lesser economic circumstances the opportunity to engage in the extensive benefits that the martial arts have to offer. We focus on youth from 4 to adult, to participate in this training through the enrichment of a multi-cultural environment where differences are not negative but embraced. Self-esteem, respect, focus, determination, self-discipline and self-control are just a few of the proven attributes these children have to gain. For the teens it will help provide direction and motivation in a peer supported setting as an alternative to drugs, gangs and the streets. For the adults it will give them a full understanding of the 10 Life Management Skills and how to use them in all areas of their life’s, hence, making positive adults and more empowered parents.
